FC-5B FOOT OPERATED
REMOTE CURRENT AND CONTACTOR CONTROL
F-15-125-A
May, 1997
This remote control is designed for use with any power
source that employs a single (common) current and
contactor control 14-pin Amphenol receptacle. It contains a potentiometer which controls the current output
when the Panel/Remote Switch (PRS) on the power
source is placed in the "Remote" position. This remote
control also consists of a switch when the PRS is
placed in the "Remote" position. Both the potentiometer and switch are operated when the FC-5B pedal is
depressed. See the schematic diagram in your respective power source instruction literature.
Interconnection of these functions to the main power
source is provided by a single mating 30-ft. cable/plug
assembly provided.
!
Make sure all primary power to Power Source is disconnected before installation of these plugs.
WARNING
By depressing the foot pedal, the weld start sequence
circuit will energize, and the welding current will increase
or decrease semi-linearly within the range preset on the
power source "Current" control potentiometer.
To use the remote control, proceed as follows:
1. Plug the FC-5B control cable into current/contactor
control receptacle on the power source.
2. Set the Remote/Panel toggle switch to the Remote
position.
3. Set the Current Control on the power source panel to
the maximum current range to be used.
4. Depress foot pedal as desired to weld.
