High Frequency Generator for TIG Welding
Applications
The K930-2 TIG Module is suitable for use with the Ranger 405D.
The Ranger 405D and any high frequency generating equipment
must be properly grounded. See the K930-2 Operating Manual for
completed
instructions
on
maintenance.

Standby Power Connections
The Ranger 405D is suitable for temporary, standby or
emergency
power
using
recommended maintenance schedule.
The Ranger 405D can be permanently installed as a standby
power unit for:-
KA1453-1, -4 & -7 415/240V - 20 Amp service,
KA1453-2 & -5 400/230V - 20 Amp service
KA1453-3 & -6 400/230 and 115V (Centre Tapped Earth) - 20
Amp service.
Connections must be made by a licensed electrician who can
determine how the connections can be made to adapt to
particular installations and comply with all applicable electrical
codes, eg Australian Standard AS3000 Wiring Rules, and
maintain operation of the Residual Current Device.

Welding Output Cables

With the engine off, connect the electrode and work cables to the
appropriate receptacles.
Copper cables sizes listed below are recommended for the rated
current and duty cycle. Lengths stipulated are the distance from
the welder to work and back to the welder again. Cable sizes are
increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of
minimising cable voltage drop.

Remote Output Control

The Ranger 405D is fitted with a 14 pin remote control receptacle.
This receptacle is mounted between the output studs on the
control panel and is used for connection remote equipment, eg.
The control cable for an LN-21 wire feeder. Wen remote output
control is used the 'local/remote' toggle switch must be set at the
'REMOTE' position, otherwise set it at 'LOCAL' position for control
at machine nameplate.
