REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTIONS
The Air Vantage ® 600X-I is equipped with a 12-pin and a 14-
pin connector. To enable remote control capabilities, the
LOCAL/REMOTE switch must be in the REMOTE position.
CONSTANT CURRENT WELD MODES
For the DOWNHILL PIPE or CC-STICK weld mode selector switch
positions, remote setting of the preset arc current is set through
the 12 pin connector or the 14 pin connector depending on the
setup menu setting (12 pin connector is the factory default
setting). The OUTPUT CONTROL knob is used to set the maximum
arc current preset range for the remote input. The left digital
output display will show the maximum setting for the arc current
preset range as set by the OUTPUT CONTROL knob.
For the TOUCH START TIG weld mode selector switch position,
remote setting of the preset arc current is set through the 12 pin
connector (typically using a foot amptrol). The OUTPUT CONTROL
knob is used to set the maximum arc current preset range for the
remote input. The left digital output display will show the
maximum setting for the arc current preset range as set by the
OUTPUT CONTROL knob.
EXAMPLE: When the OUTPUT CONTROL on the welder is set to
200 amps, the arc current preset range on the remote control will
preset over the range from minimum to 200 amps, rather than the
full minimum to maximum preset arc current range. Any preset
For the ARC GOUGING weld mode selector switch position,
remote setting of the preset arc current is set through the 12 pin
connector. The remote input sets the arc current preset over the
full range from minimum to maximum. The left digital output
display will show the maximum setting for the arc current preset
range as set by the OUTPUT CONTROL knob.
CONSTANT VOLTAGE WELD MODES
For operation with a control cable wire feeder:
With the CV-WIRE weld mode selector switch position and the
WELD TERMINALS ON switch in the REMOTE position, remote
setting of the preset arc voltage is set through the 14 pin
connector. The remote input sets the arc voltage preset range
from 10.0V to 45.0V. The right digital output display will show the
arc voltage preset.
For operation with an across the arc wire feeder:
With the CV-WIRE weld mode selector switch position and the
WELD TERMINALS ON switch in the ON position, remote setting of
the preset arc voltage is set through the 12 pin connector. The
remote input sets the arc voltage preset range from 10.0V to
45.0V. The right digital output display will show the arc voltage
preset.
When a CrossLinc device is connected, the remote control is
ignored. The CrossLinc device provides the remote output control
to set values.
For the ARCLINK weld mode selector switch position, remote
capability is possible only with an ArcLink compatible digital
remote control through the 5 pin connector.
NOTE: To connect accessories with a 6 pin connector, use the
included 12-pin to 6-pin adaptor (K2909-1).
WELDING TERMINALS
The Air Vantage ® 600X-I is equipped with a toggle switch for
selecting "hot" welding terminals when in the WELD TERMINALS
ON position or "cold" welding terminals when in the REMOTELY
CONTROLLED position. When in ArcLink, the output of the weld
terminals is controlled by the mode selected.
