REMOTE CONTROL

The AIR VANTAGE® 500 (AU) 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 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.

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

The auxiliary power capacity of the AIR VANTAGE® 500 (AU) is 7.2KW of 60Hz single phase power pro- tected by an RCD (Residual Current Device) and 2 single phase 15 amp circuit breakers. The auxiliary power capacity in watts equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor.

This model has:

1 Residual Current Device (RCD) protection (30mA).

2 x 1 phase 15 amp Circuit Breakers.

2 x 1 phase 240 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 grounded 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 AIR VANTAGE® 500 (AU) is suitable for tempo- rary, standby or emergency power using the engine manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.

The AIR VANTAGE® 500 (AU) can be permanently installed as a standby power unit for 240 volt (60Hz). Connections must be made by a licensed electrician who can determine how the 240 VAC power can be adapted to the particular installation and comply with all applicable electrical codes. The following informa- tion can be used as a guide by the electrician for most applications.

1Install an isolation switch between the power com- pany meter and the premises disconnect. (The AIR VANTAGE® 500 (AU) 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 cur- rent protection.

2.Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to the capacity of the AIR VANTAGE® 500 (AU). Loading above the rated output will reduce output voltage below the allowable -10% of rated voltage which may damage appliances or other motor-dri- ven equipment and may result in overheating of the AIR VANTAGE® 500 (AU) engine.
