REMOTE CONTROL

OUTPUT
The AIR VANTAGE® 500 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.
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
maximum 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.
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

Start the engine and set the "IDLER" control switch to the "High
Idle" mode. Voltage is now correct at the receptacles for auxiliary
power. This must be done before a tripped GFCI receptacle can
be reset properly. See the MAINTENANCE section for detailed
information on testing and resetting the GFCI receptacle.
The auxiliary power capacity of the AIR VANTAGE® 500 is
12,000 watts of 60 Hz, single phase or 20,000 watts of 60Hz,
three phase power. The auxiliary power capacity rating in watts
is equivalent to volt-amperes at unity power factor. The maximum
permissible current of the 240 VAC output is 50 A. The 240 VAC
single phase output can be split to provide two separate 120 VAC
outputs with a maximum permissible current of 50 A per output to
two separate 120 VAC branch circuits. The output voltage is
within ± 10% at all loads up to rated capacity.
The AIR VANTAGE® 500 has two 20 Amp-120VAC single
phase(5-20R) GFCI duplex receptacles, one 50 Amp-120/240
single phase VAC (14-50R) receptacle and one 240VAC three
phase (15-50R) receptacle. The 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 receptacle.
A 240VAC 3 phase plug is provided loose with the machine.
NOTE: The two 120V GFCI receptacles and the two 120 volt
circuits of the 120/240V receptacle are connected to different
phases and can not be paralleled.
INSTALLATION

STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS

The AIR VANTAGE® 500 is suitable for temporary, standby or
emergency
recommended maintenance schedule.
The AIR VANTAGE® 500 can be permanently installed as a
standby power unit for 240 volt-3 wire, 50 amp service.
Connections must be made by a licensed electrician who can
determine how the 120/240 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. Refer to the connection diagram
shown in Figure A.2.
1. Install the double-pole, double-throw switch between the power
company meter and the premises disconnect.
Switch rating must be the same or greater than the customer's
premises disconnect and service over current protection.
