PARALLELING

When paralleling machines in order to combine their outputs, all units must be operated in the CC-STICK mode only at the same output settings. To achieve this, turn the WELD MODE switch to the CC-STICK position. Operation in other modes may produce errat- ic outputs, and large output imbalances between the units.

SIMULTANEOUS WELDING AND AUXIL- IARY POWER LOADS

It must be noted that the above auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load.

Simultaneous welding and power loads are specified in table B.4.

AUXILIARY POWER OPERATION

Start the engine and set the IDLER control switch to the desired operating mode. Full power is available regardless of the welding control settings, if no weld- ing current is being drawn.

The auxiliary power of the AIR VANTAGE® 500 con- sists of two 15Amp 240VAC single phase receptacles.

The auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved dou- ble insulated tools with two wire plugs.

The current rating of any plug used with the system must be at least equal to the current capacity of the associated receptacle.
