WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch live electrical parts.

•Shut down welding power source, and be sure it cannot be accidentally energized before making remote Pendant Control connections.

•Place CONTACTOR switch in OFF position.

2-1. WELDING POWER SOURCE REMOTE CON- TROL RECEPTACLE CONNECTIONS (Figure 2-1)

The Remote Pendant Control connects to a 17-socket Amphenol receptacle on the welding power source front panel (see OM-286). Insert 17-pin Amphenol plug from the interconnecting cable fully into the receptacle and rotate collar clockwise.

2-2. RPC-IP RECEPTACLE CONNECTIONS (Figure 2-1)

The interconnecting cable from the welding power source connects to a 17-pin Amphenol receptacle on the remote control. Insert the 17-socket plug from the in- terconnecting cable fully into the receptacle, and rotate collar clockwise.

2-3. 650/1000 AMPERE MODEL SELECTOR SWITCH

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch live electrical parts.

•Shut down welding power source, and dis- connect the Remote Pendant Control before changing position of dip switches.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) can damage circuit boards.

•Put on properly grounded wrist strap BE- FORE handling circuit boards.

•Perform work only at a static-safe work area.

This Remote Pendant Control is designed to be used with either a 650 or 1000 ampere intellipulse welding power source. A dip switch is located on circuit board PC5 to set up the Remote Pendant Control for operation with 650 or 1000 ampere models. The unit is shipped from the factory set up for operation with the 650 ampere models. Proceed as follows to set up the Remote Pen- dant Control for operation with 1000 ampere models:

1.Remove cover.

2.Place both dip switches in the down position for op- eration with 1000 ampere models. Place both dip switches in up position for operation with 650 am- pere models (see Figure 2-2).

3.Reinstall cover.

RPC-IP specifications

Miller Electric RPC-IP is a revolutionary power distribution and management system designed for advanced welding applications and industrial environments. This innovative equipment aims to enhance productivity, safety, and operational efficiency by optimizing the electrical power supply for multiple welding machines and other high-demand equipment.

One of the main features of the RPC-IP is its intelligent power distribution capabilities. It can manage and distribute power to multiple outputs while monitoring real-time load conditions. This makes it ideal for facilities with variable equipment demands, as it automatically adjusts power distribution to ensure optimal performance without overloads.

The RPC-IP is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including an integrated digital control panel that allows users to monitor and manage power usage intuitively. The control panel features a user-friendly interface that provides real-time data on energy consumption, load distribution, and system health. This level of transparency empowers operators to make informed decisions and minimize downtime.

Another notable characteristic of the RPC-IP is its advanced safety features. The system incorporates overload protection, short-circuit protection, and surge protection, ensuring that both equipment and personnel are safeguarded against power-related hazards. Additionally, the RPC-IP is compliant with stringent industry standards, which further enhances its reliability and user confidence.

Miller Electric has also prioritized connectivity in the RPC-IP design. The system supports remote monitoring and control via cloud-based technologies, enabling operators to access data and manage power distribution from virtually anywhere. This feature is particularly beneficial for multi-site operations where consistent oversight and management are crucial.

The RPC-IP is designed with versatility in mind, making it suitable for various applications, from small fabrication shops to large manufacturing facilities. Its modular design allows for customized setups, catering to specific operational needs.

In summary, Miller Electric RPC-IP is more than just a power distribution system; it is a comprehensive solution that integrates intelligent features, robust safety protocols, and seamless connectivity. This makes it an essential tool for any welding operation looking to improve efficiency, safety, and overall productivity in today’s competitive industrial landscape.
