AIR VANTAGE
®
800 (AU) CUMMINS
REMOTE CONTROL
The AIR VANTAGE
®
800 (AU) CUMMINS 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
GOUGING 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.
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 inactive 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 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
The auxiliary power capacity of the AIR VANTAGE
CUMMINS is 20kVA of 60Hz three phase power protected by an
RCD (Residual Current Device) and a 3 phase 32 amp circuit
breaker. The auxiliary power capacity in watts equivalent to volt-
amperes at unity power factor.
This model has:
• 1 x 3 phase and neutral Residual Current Device (RCD)
protection (30mA)
• 1 x 3 phase 32 amp Circuit Breaker
• 1 x 3 phase 415 volt 28 amp
• 2 x 1 phase 15 amp Circuit Breakers
• 2 x 1 phase 240 volt 15 amp per outlet
Note: The single-phase outlets are from different phases and
cannot be paralleled.
The auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three or
four wire earthed type plugs or approved double insulated tools.
The current rating of any plug used with the system must be at
least equal to the current capacity of the associated receptacle.
STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS
The AIR VANTAGE
®
800 (AU) CUMMINS is suitable for temporary,
standby or emergency power using the engine manufacturer's
recommended maintenance schedule.
The AIR VANTAGE
®
800 (AU) CUMMINS can be permanently
installed as a standby power unit for 415/240 volt (60 Hz).
Connections must be made by a licensed electrician who can
determine how the 415/240 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.
1. Install an isolation switch between the power company meter
and the premises disconnect.(The AIR VANTAGE
CUMMINS and the power company supplies must not be
connected together).
Switch rating must be the same or greater than the
customer's premises disconnect and service over current
protection.
2. Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to the capacity
of the AIR VANTAGE
®
amp, 415 VAC three pole circuit breaker. Loading above the
rated output will reduce output voltage below the allowable -
10% of rated voltage which may damage appliances or other
motor-driven equipment and may result in overheating of the
AIR VANTAGE
®
800 (AU) CUMMINS engine.
3. Install a 32 amp 3 phase plug to the triple-pole circuit breaker
using 6.02mm (minimum) x 4 conductor cable of the desired
length.(1 x 32 amp / 415 V & 2 x 15 amp / 240 V, plugs are
available in the optional KA1373-2 plug kit).
4. Plug this cable into the 3 phase receptacle on the
AIR VANTAGE
®
800 (AU) CUMMINS case front.
