OPERATION

B4.3

VANTAGE® 500

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

WELDER

The Vantage 500 provides excellent constant current
DC welding output for stick (SMAW) and TIG welding.
The Vantage 500 also provides excellent constant volt-
age DC welding output for MIG (GMAW) and
Innershield (FCAW) welding.

GENERATOR

The Vantage 500 provides smooth 120/240 VAC output
for auxiliary power and emergency standby power.

DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES

K2406-1 VANTAGE 500 DELUXE MODEL
FEATURES

FOR WELDING

• Excellent DC multi-purpose welding for stick, MIG,

TIG, cored wire and arc gouging applications.

• 30 to 500 amps output in five slope-controlled ranges

for out-of position and pipe electrodes, one constant
current output range for general purpose welding,
one constant voltage range for MIG wire and cored
wire welding and one 20-250 amp range for “Touch
Start” TIG welding.

• 100% duty cycle at 500 amps output and 50% duty

cycle at 575 amps output.

• Dual 3-digit output meters are provided (optional on

K1639-1) for presetting the weld amperage or volt-
age and displaying the actual amperage and voltage
during welding. The meters use superbrite L.E.D.'s
for improved readability in full sunlight.

LOOK-BACK FEATURE: After welding has stopped,
both displays will remain on for 7 seconds with the
last current and voltage value displayed. During this
time, the left-most decimal point in each display will
be FLASHING.

• Standard remote control capability with 14-pin and

6-pin connectors for easy connection of Lincoln
remote control accessories.

• An internal "Solid State" contactor allows for the

selection of "hot" or "cold" output terminals with a
toggle switch on the control panel.

• “Arc Control” potentiometer in Wire and Stick modes

for precise adjustment of arc characteristics.

• Advanced circuitry to prevent pop-outs in the five

slope modes.

FOR AUXILIARY POWER

• 12,000 watts of 120/240 VAC, 60Hz auxiliary power.

• Power for tools, 120/240 VAC lights, electric pumps

and for standby emergency power.

• Drive a 5 HP motor (provided it is started under no

load).

• Two 20 amp 120 VAC duplex receptacles for up to 40

amps of 120 VAC power.

• One 50 amp, 120/240 VAC dual voltage receptacle

for up to 50 amps of 240 VAC, and up to 50 amps per
side to separate branch circuits (not in parallel) of
120 VAC single-phase auxiliary power. Allows easy
connection to premises wiring.

• Weld and AC auxiliary power at the same time (with-

in machine total capacity).

OTHER FEATURES

• Cummins 4 cylinder/4 cycle engine. Designed for

long life, easy maintenance, and excellent fuel
economy.

• Engine protection system shuts the engine down for

low oil pressure, high oil temperature, or a broken
fan/engine alternator belt.

• Gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, engine

alternator output, and fuel level.

• Indicator lights for Engine Protection, and Battery

(engine alternator low output/broken belt).

• Engine hour meter standard on all models.
