Wire Welding-CV
Connect a wire feeder to the Vantage
®
410 CE
according to the instructions in INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS Section.
Vantage
®
410 CE in the CV-WIRE mode, permits it to be
used with a broad range of flux cored wire (Innershield
and Outershield) electrodes and solid wires for MIG
welding (gas metal arc welding). Welding can be finely
tuned using the ARC CONTROL. Turning the ARC
CONTROL clockwise from –10 (soft) to +10 (crisp)
changes the arc from soft and washed-in to crisp and
narrow. It acts as an inductance/pinch control. The
proper setting depends on the procedure and operator
preference. Start with the dial set at 0.
NOTE:
In the CV-Mode with VRD “On”, the OCV (Open
Circuit Voltage) is not reduce. For indicator light
operation, see table above "VRD Indicator Lights".
Arc Gouging
Vantage
®
410 CE can be used for arc gouging. For
optimal performance, set the MODE switch ARC
GOUGING.
Set the OUTPUT CONTROL knob to adjust output
current to the desired level for the gouging electrode
being used according to the ratings in the following table:
Carbon Diameter
mm
Current Range
(DC, electrode positive) in A
3.2 60
-
90
4.0
90 - 150
4.8 200
-
250
10 300-Max.
Amps
The ARC CONTROL is not active in the ARC GOUGING
Mode. The ARC CONTROL is automatically set to
maximum when the ARC GOUGING mode is selected
which provides the best ARC GOUGING performance.
NOTE:
with the VRD switch in the “On” position there is
no output in the ARC GOUGING Mode. For indicator
light operation, see table about "VRD".
Auxiliary Power
Start the engine and set the IDLER control switch to the
desired operating mode. Full power is available
regardless of the welding control settings providing no
welding current is being drawn.
Simultaneous Welding and Auxiliary Power
Loads
The auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load.
Simultaneous welding and power leads are specified in
the table below. The permissible currents shown assume
that current is being drawn from either the 230VAC or
400 VAC supply (not both at the same time).
