DUAL VANTAGE
®
800
REMOTE CONTROL
The DUAL VANTAGE
800 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, ARC GOUG-
ING 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 max-
imum 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.
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 weld-
ing 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 recepta-
cles for auxiliary power. This must be done before a
tripped GFCI can be reset properly. See the MAINTE-
NANCE section for more detailed information on testing
and resetting the GFCI.
The auxiliary power of the DUAL VANTAGE
sists of two 20 Amp-120 VAC (5-20R) duplex with
GFCI protection, one 50 Amp 120/240 VAC (14-50R)
receptacle and one 50 Amp 240VAC Three-Phase
(15-50R) receptacle.
The auxiliary power capacity is 12,000 Watts
Continuous of 60 Hz, single phase power. The auxil-
iary power capacity rating in watts is equivalent to volt-
amperes at unity power factor. The max permissible
current of the 240 VAC output is 50 amps.
The 240 VAC output can be split to provide two sepa-
rate 120 VAC outputs with a max permissible current of
50 Amps per output to two separate 120 VAC branch
circuits (these circuits cannot be paralleled). Output volt-
age is within ± 10% at all loads up to rated capacity.
The Three-Phases auxiliary power capacity is 20,000
watts continuous. The maximum current is 48 amps.
120 V DUPLEX RECEPTACLE AND GFCI
A GFCI protects the two 120V auxiliary power.
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 volt-
age 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 at least once every month.
The 120 V auxiliary power receptacles should only be
used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved
double insulated tools with two wire plugs. The current rat-
ing of any plug used with the system must be at least
equal to the current capacity of the associated receptacle.
NOTE: The 240 V receptacle has two 120 V circuits, but
are of opposite polarities and cannot be paralleled.
All auxiliary power is protected by circuit breakers. The
120V has 20 Amp circuit breakers for each duplex recepta-
cle. The 120/240V Single Phase and the 240V Three-
Phases have a 50 Amp 3-pole Circuit Breaker that discon-
nects both hot leads and all Three Phases simultaneously.
