Remote Control - Lincoln Electric VANTAGE IM10044 Operator's Manual

REMOTE CONTROL

The VANTAGE® 575 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 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.
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 welding
voltage control is connected to the 14-pin connec-
tor, do not connect anything to the 6-pin connec-
tor.

AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES
The auxiliary power capacity of the VANTAGE® 575
CUMMINS is 20kVA of 50Hz three phase power pro-
tected 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 32 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.
INSTALLATION
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 VANTAGE® 575 CUMMINS is suitable for tempo-
rary, standby or emergency power using the engine
manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule.
The VANTAGE® 575 CUMMINS can be permanently
installed as a standby power unit for 415/240 volt (50
Hz). Connections must be made by a licensed electri-
cian who can determine how the 415/240 VAC power
can be adapted to the particular installation and com-
ply 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 com-
pany meter and the premises disconnect.(The
VANTAGE® 575 CUMMINS and the power compa-
ny 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 VANTAGE® 575 CUMMINS by
installing a 32 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 overheat-
ing of the VANTAGE® 575 CUMMINS engine.
3. Install a 32 amp 3 phase plug to the triple-pole cir-
cuit breaker using 6.02mm (minimum) x 4 conduc-
tor 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
VANTAGE® 575 CUMMINS case front.
