DUAL VANTAGE
®
800-I
REMOTE CONTROL
The DUAL VANTAGE
800-I 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
The auxiliary power of the DUAL VANTAGE
consists of Single Phase 60Hz Power. Output Voltage
is within +/- 10% at loads up to rated capacity.
One 120VAC NEMA (5-20R) 20 amp duplex recepta-
cle is protected by two 20 amp circuit breakers that
provide 2400 watts Peak / 2400 watts Continuous
power. Maximum current is 20 amps total.
Two 120VAC European (IEC-309) 16 amp recepta-
cles are protected by two 15 amp circuit breakers that
provide 1800 watts Peak / 1800 watts Continuous
power. Maximum current is 15 amps.
Two 240VAC European (IEC-309) 16 amp recepta-
cles are protected by two 15 amp 2-pole circuit break-
ers that provide 3600 watts Peak / 3600 watts
Continuous power. Maximum current is 15 amps.
120 V RECEPTACLES
Two GFCIs protect the two 120V 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 MAINTE-
NANCE 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
rating of any plug used with the system must be at
least equal to the current capacity of the associated
receptacle.
