OPERATION
B-2
FOR AUXILIARY POWER
• 10,000 watts of 120/240 VAC, 60Hz auxiliary power.
• Drive a 2 HP motor (provided it is started under no
load).
• Two 15 amp 120 VAC duplex receptacles with GFCI
protection for up to 30 amps of 120 VAC power.
• One 50 amp, 120/240 VAC dual voltage receptacle for
up to 44 amps of 240 VAC, and up to 44 amps per
side to separate branch circuits (not in parallel) of 120
VAC single phase auxiliary power. Allows easy con-
nection to premises wiring.
• Weld and AC auxiliary power at the same time (with-
in machine total capacity).
OTHER FEATURES
Deutz 3-cylinder, air/oil cooled diesel engine.
Designed for long life, easy maintenance and excel-
lent 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 alter-
nator output and fuel level.
• Indicator lights for low oil pressure, high oil tempera-
ture, engine alternator low output/broken belt and low
fuel level.
• Automatic low fuel shutdown before running out of
fuel.
• Engine hour meter standard on all models.
• Extended range 25 gallon (94.6 l) fuel tank.
• Fuel pre-filter/water separator with “dry” change ele-
ment.
• Automatic idler reduces engine speed when not weld-
ing or drawing auxiliary power. This feature reduces
fuel consumption and extends engine life.
• Single side engine service with over the top access to
the engine.
Copper alternator windings and high temperature
insulation for dependability and long life.
ADDITIONAL DESIGN FEATURES AND
ADVANTAGES (Stick & Wire Model only)
FOR WIRE WELDING
• One constant voltage position for all wire welding. A
12 to 45V range across the entire current output
range.
• Excellent arc characteristics with MIG (GMAW) and
Innershield (FCAW) welding.
• A Wire Feeder connector for quick connection of the
control cable.
• A built in “Electronic Contactor” for “Cold” electrode
when not welding. This feature and DC Constant
Voltage output provide an added margin of safety
when welding must be performed under electrically
hazardous conditions such as: damp locations, while
wearing wet clothing or in cramped positions if there
is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with
the workpiece or ground.
• The 3 digit display has the additional feature of pre-
setting the open circuit voltage and displaying the
actual voltage during welding.
Designed for use with the following Lincoln wire feeders.
•LN-25 •LN-23P •LN-7
•LN-8 •NA-3 •Spool Gun &
K488 Module
WELDING CAPABILITY
The Commander 400 is rated at 400 amps, 40 volts at
100% duty cycle. The weld current is variable from 40
to 575 amps.
COMMANDER 400
• Selection of “hot” or “cold” output terminals with a tog-
gle switch on the control panel. This feature can also
be controlled by installing a remote output terminal
control cable designed to open and close the #2 and
#4 leads in the amphenol receptacle.
