COMPRESSOR SYSTEM
The Air Vantage ® 600X-I has an integrated VMAC compressor
system installed on the machine. The compressor system is
protected from over pressurization by a mechanical inlet control
demand. There is also a 200 psi (1,379 kPa) pressure relief valve
in the air/oil separation tank to protect the system from over
pressurization. If the oil temperature exceeds 290°F (143°C) the
clutch is disengaged, draining the high-pressure air and reducing
the load on the engine.
VMAC recommends the use of
performance synthetic oil which is used to lubricate the
compressor. The air/oil separator tank removes the remaining oil.
contaminants. The compressor intake is equipped with a

the system.
MACHINE GROUNDING
Because this portable engine driven welder creates its own power,
it is not necessary to connect its frame to an earth ground, unless
the machine is connected to premises wiring (home, shop, etc.).
To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equipment powered by
this engine driven welder must:
a) be grounded to the frame of the welder using a grounded type
plug, or
b) be double insulated.
When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, its frame must
be securely connected to the metal frame of the vehicle. When
this engine driven welder is connected to premises wiring such as
that in a home or shop, its frame must be connected to the system
earth ground.
In general, if the machine is to be grounded, it should be
connected with a #8 or larger copper wire to a solid earth ground
such as a metal ground stake going into the ground for at least 10
ft. (3.1m) or to the metal framework of a building which has been
effectively grounded. Check local codes for alternate means of
grounding electrical equipment. A machine grounding stud
marked with the symbol is provided on
the front of the welder.
AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES
Start the engine and set the RUN/STOP/IDLE control switch to the
"High Idle" position. Voltage is now correct at the receptacles for
auxiliary power. This must be done before a tripped GFCI can be
reset properly. See the MAINTENANCE section for more detailed
information on testing and resetting the GFCI.
The auxiliary power of the Air Vantage
following:
- One 20 amp 120 VAC (NEMA 5-20R) duplex receptacle with
GFCI protection.
- One 50 amp 240 VAC (NEMA 15-50R) single phase
receptacle.
- One 15 amp 120 VAC (IEC 60309 Yellow 2P+Ground) single
phase receptacle.
- One 15 amp 240 VAC (IEC 60309 Blue 2P+Ground) single
phase receptacle.

The auxiliary power capacity is 7,800 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 three phase auxiliary power capacity is 20,000 watts
continuous at 60 Hz.
NOTE: Output voltage is within ± 10% at all loads up to rated
capacity.
120 VAC RECEPTACLES AND GFCI
A GFCI protects the two 120 VAC 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 will trip, removing voltage from the output of the
receptacle. If a GFCI is tripped see the MAINTENANCE section for
detailed information on testing and resetting it. A GFCI should be
properly tested before each use.
The 120 VAC 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.
240 VAC RECEPTACLES AND RCD
The RCD (Residual Current Device) protects the two 240 VAC
auxiliary power receptacles. The device protects against electric
shock if current leakage is detected. The RCD is rated for 15
amps and it has 30 milliamp tripping current.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
All auxiliary power is protected by circuit breakers. The 120 VAC
duplex receptacle has a 20 amp circuit breaker, while the 120 VAC
IEC receptacle and 240 VAC IEC receptacle use a 15 amp circuit
breaker. The 240 VAC three phase receptacle has a 50 amp 3-
pole circuit breaker that disconnects both hot leads and all three
phases simultaneously (See Figure A.3).
