OPERATION
B-2
FOR AUXILIARY POWER
• 10,000 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.
* 15 Amp for each receptacle up to 30 Amp for codes below 10500 only.
• 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 (on K1585-2 only).
• Automatic low fuel shutdown before running out of
fuel (K1585-2 only).
• Engine hour meter standard on all models.
• Extended range 25 gallon (94.6 l) fuel tank.
• Automatic idler reduces engine speed when not weld-
ing or drawing auxiliary power. This feature reduces
fuel consumption and extends engine life.
• Compact size fits crosswise in full size pick-up truck.
• Single side engine service.
• Copper alternator windings and high temperature
insulation for dependability and long life.
• New paint system on case and base for outstanding
corrosion protection.
K1585-1 Commander 300 Standard Model
• The K1585-1 is the standard version of the
Commander 300, and has all the features of the
K1585-2 Deluxe version except that there are no
gauges, low fuel light nor dual output meters. This
version does have fully functional engine protection
for low oil pressure, high oil temperature, and alter-
nator output with associated lights.
• A field installed Dual Output Meter and Gauge Kit (K-
1596-1) is available for the K1585-1 Commander
300.The kit includes dual output meters, oil pressure
gauge, oil temperature gage, and alternator amme-
ter.
WELDING CAPABILITY
The Commander 300 is rated at 300 amps, 32 VDC at
100% duty cycle and 375 amps, 34 VDC at 60% duty
cycle.The maximum open circuit voltage at 1900 RPM
is 87 volts. The weld current is variable from 30 to 375
amps.
COMMANDER 300
• 100% duty cycle at 300 amps output and 60 % duty
cycle at 375 amps output.
• Dual 3-digit output meters are provided (optional on
K1585-1) for presetting the weld amperage or voltage
and displaying the actual amperage and voltage during
welding. The meters use superbrite L.E.D.'s for
improved readability in full sunlight.
• Standard remote control capability with 14 pin and 6 pin
connectors for easy connection of Lincoln remote con-
trol accessories.
• An internal "Solid State" contactor allows for the selec-
tion 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.
