REMOTE CONTROL

The AIR VANTAGE® 500 KUBOTA 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 K963-3 hand Amptrol. When in the CC-STICK, ARC GOUG- ING 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.

When in the DOWNHILL PIPE mode and when a remote control is connected to the 6-Pin or 14-Pin connector, the output control is used to set the max- imum current range of the remote.

EXAMPLE: When the OUTPUT CONTROL on the welder is set to 200 amps the current range on the remote control will be 40-200 amps, rather than the full 40-300 amps. Any current range that is less than the full range provides finer current resolution for more fine tuning of the output.

In the CV-WIRE mode, if the feeder being used has a voltage control when the wire feeder control cable is connected to the 14-Pin Connector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically makes OUTPUT CONTROL inac- tive and the wire feeder voltage control active. Otherwise, the OUTPUT CONTROL is used to preset the voltage.

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 con- nector, the auto-sensing circuit automatically makes the Output Control inactive and the wire feeder volt- age control active.

WARNING

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

AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES

Start the engine and set the “IDLER” control switch to the “High Idle” mode. Voltage is now correct at the recepta- cles for auxiliary power. This must be done before a tripped GFCI module can be reset properly. See the MAINTENANCE section for more detailed information on testing and resetting the GFCI module.

The auxiliary power of the AIR VANTAGE® 500 KUBO- TA consists of two 20 Amp-120 VAC (5-20R) duplex receptacles with GFCI protection, one 50 Amp 120/240 VAC (14-50R) receptacle and one 50 Amp 240VAC Three-Phase (15-50R) receptacle.

The auxiliary power capacity is 13,000 watts Peak, 12,000 Watts Continuous of 60 Hz, single phase power. The auxiliary power capacity rating in watts is equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor. The max permissi- ble current of the 240 VAC output is 50amps.

The 240 VAC output can be split to provide two separate 120 VAC outputs with a max permissible current of 50 Amps per output to two separate 120 VAC branch cir- cuits (these circuits cannot be paralleled). Output voltage is within ± 10% at all loads up to rated capacity.

The Three-Phases auxiliary power capacity is 22,000 watts peak, 20,000 watts continuous. The maximum cur- rent is 45 amps.

120 V DUPLEX RECEPTACLES AND GFCI MODULES

A GFCI Module protects the two 120V auxiliary power receptacles.

A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a device to protect against electric shock should a piece of defective equipment connected to it develop a ground fault. If this situation should occur, the GFCI module will trip, remov- ing voltage from the output of the receptacle. If a GFCI module is tripped see the MAINTENANCE section for detailed information on testing and resetting it. A GFCI module should be properly tested at least once every month.

The 120 V auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved double 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 recepta- cle.

NOTE: The 240 V receptacle has two 120 V circuits, but are of opposite polarities and cannot be paralleled.

All auxiliary power is protected by circuit breakers. The 120V has 20 Amp circuit breakers for each duplex recep- tacle. The 120/240V Single Phase and the 240V Three- Phases have a 50 Amp 3-pole Circuit Breaker that dis- connects both hot leads and all Three Phases simultane- ously.
