REMOTE CONTROL

OUTPUT

The Vantage is equipped with a 6-pin and a 14-pin connector. The 6-pin connector is for connecting the K857 or K857-1 Remote Control or for TIG welding, the K870 foot Amptrol or the K936-2 hand Amptrol. When in the CC-STICK, DOWNHILL PIPE, or CV- WIRE modes and when a remote control is connected to the 6- pin Connector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically switches the OUTPUT control from control at the welder to remote control.

When in TOUCH START TIG mode and when a Amptrol is connected to the 6-Pin Connector, the OUTPUT dial is used to set the maximum current range of the CURRENT CONTROL of the Amptrol.

The 14-pin connector is used to directly connect a wire feeder control cable. In the CV-WIRE mode, when the control cable is connected to the 14-pin connector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically makes the Output Control inactive and the wire feeder voltage control active

WARNING

NOTE: When a wire feeder with a built in welding voltage control is connected to the 14-pin connector, do not connect anything to the 6-pin connector.

AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES

The auxiliary power capacity of the Vantage is 12kVA of 50Hz three phase power. All models are protected by an RCD (Residual Current Device) and a 3 phase 20 amp circuit breaker. The auxiliary power capacity in watts equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor.

This model has:

1 x 3 phase and neutral Residual Current Device (RCD) protection (30mA)

1 x 3 phase 20 amp Circuit Breaker

1 x 3 phase 380 volt 18.5 amp

3 x 1 phase 15 amp Circuit Breakers

3 x 1 phase 220 volt 15 amp per outlet

Note: The single-phase outlets are from different phases and cannot be paralleled.

The auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three or four wire earthed type plugs or approved double insulated tools. The current rating of any plug used with the system must be at least equal to the current capacity of the associated receptacle.

STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS

The Vantage is suitable for temporary, standby or emergency power using the engine manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.

The Vantage can be permanently installed as a standby power unit for 380/220 volt (50Hz). Connections must be made by a licensed electrician who can determine how the 380/220 VAC power can be adapted to the particular installation and comply with all applicable electrical codes. The following information can be used as a guide by the electrician for most applications.

1.Install an isolation switch between the power company meter and the premises disconnect. (the Vantage and the power company supplies must not be connected together).

Switch rating must be the same or greater than the customer’s premises disconnect and service over current protection.

2.Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to the capacity of the Vantage by installing a 20 amp, 380 VAC three pole circuit breaker. Loading above the rated output will reduce output voltage below the allowable -10% of rated voltage which may damage appliances or other motor-driven equipment and may result in overheating of the Vantage engine.

3.Install a 20 amp 3 phase plug to the triple-pole circuit breaker using 2.52 mm (minimum) x 4 conductor cable of the desired length. (The 20 amp, plug is available in the optional KA1373 plug kit).

4.Plug this cable into the 3 phase receptacle on the Vantage case front.
