REMOTE CONTROL

OUTPUT
The VANTAGE 500 DEUTZ 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.
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
NOTE: When a wire feeder with a built in welding volt-
age control is connected to the 14-pin connector, do
not connect anything to the 6-pin connector.
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, 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.
NOTE: When a wire feeder with a built in welding
voltage control is connected to the 14-pin connec-
tor, do not connect anything to the 6-pin connec-
tor.

INSTALLATION

AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES

The auxiliary power capacity of the VANTAGE® 500
DEUTZ is 12,000 watts of 60 Hz, single phase or
20,000 watts of 60Hz, three phase power. The auxil-
iary power capacity rating in watts is equivalent to
volt-amperes at unity power factor. The maximum per-
missible 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 per-
missible 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 VANTAGE® 500 DEUTZ has two 20 Amp-
120VAC single phase(5-20R) GFCI duplex recepta-
cles, 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 con-
nected to different phases and can not be paralleled.

STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS

The VANTAGE® 500 DEUTZ is suitable for tempo-
rary, standby or emergency power using the engine
manufacturerʼs recommended maintenance schedule.
The VANTAGE® 500 DEUTZ 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 premis-
es disconnect.
Switch rating must be the same or greater than the
customerʼs premises disconnect and service over cur-
rent protection.
