CONNECTION OF THE LN-25 TO THE
VANTAGE® 500 DEUTZ
The LN-25 with or without an internal contactor may
be used with the VANTAGE® 500 DEUTZ. See the
appropriate connection diagram in the DIAGRAMS
section.
• Shut the welder off.
• For electrode Positive, connect the electrode cable
from the LN-25 to the “+” terminal of the welder and
work cable to the “-” terminal of the welder. For elec-
trode Negative, connect the electrode cable from the
LN-25 to the “-” terminal of the welder and work
cable to the “+” terminal of the welder.
• Attach the single lead from the front of the LN-25 to
work using the spring clip at the end of the lead. This
is a sense lead to supply current to the wire feeder
motor; it does not carry welding current.
• Set the SELECTOR switch to the “CV-WIRE” posi-
tion.
• Set the “WELDING TERMINALS” switch to “WELD
TERMINALS ON”
• Adjust the “ARC CONTROL” knob to desired crisp-
ness. Generally, welding is best if the “ARC CON-
TROL” is set to SOFT for MIG and CRISP for
INNERSHIELD. You may however, want to start in
the middle and adjust (as needed) from there.
• Set the “IDLE” switch to the “AUTO” position. When
not welding, the VANTAGE® 500 DEUTZ engine will
be at the low idle speed. If you are using an LN-25
with an internal contactor, the electrode is not ener-
gized until the gun trigger is closed.
If you are using an LN-25 without an internal con-
tactor, the electrode will be energized when the
VANTAGE® 500 DEUTZ is started.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
• When the gun trigger is closed, the current sensing
circuit will cause the wire to begin to feed and the
welding process is started.
CONNECTION OF AN NA-3 AUTOMATIC
WELDING SYSTEM TO THE VANTAGE®
500 DEUTZ
For connection diagrams and instructions for connect-
ing an NA-3 Welding System to the VANTAGE® 500
DEUTZ, refer to the NA-3 Welding System instruction
manual. The connection diagram for the LN-8 can be
used for connecting the NA-3.
• Set the Wire Feeder Voltage Switch to 115V.
