REMOTE PENDANT
Description
The CIGWELD Remote Pendant consists of a trigger switch and volts control potentiometer. It is specially
designed to allow use of voltage sensing wirefeeders with a range of CIGWELD power sources.
The trigger enables and disables the Power Source welding output, and the potentiometer controls welding
voltage.
Refer to list below for compatible CIGWELD power sources.
Installation
Attach the 8-pin connector on one end of the 10p-8p cable to the 8-pin receptacle on the front of the remote
pendant. And attach the 10-pin connector to the 10-pin receptable on the front of the welding machine. To
complete the connection, align the keyway, insert the plug, and rotate the threaded collar fully clockwise.
Operation
Set the trigger switch to "1" position to start the machine output functions. The remote pendant potentiometer
controls the welding voltage up to the level set on the welding power source. Note that the maximum voltage
must be set on the power source by the operator prior to the remote pendant being connected. With the re-
mote pendant connected, the power source will only display minimum preview Volts until the Knob is rotated
then it displays actual welding voltage when welding. Rotate the knob clockwise to increases the welding
voltage; turning anti-clockwise decreases the welding voltage. Reseting the tirgger to "0" position completely
extinguishes the arc and initiates the post-flow shielding gas timer (where fitted).
This remote pendant is fully compatible with the following CIGWELD power sources:
Transmig 350i Part No: W1005353 and W1005359
Transmig 450i Part No: W1005453
Transmig 550i Part No: W1005553
Note 1: Other Power Source may not be fully compatible with the remote pendant.
The remote pendant potentiometer controls the welding voltage up to the level set on the welding power source.
Note that the maximum voltage must be set on the power source by the operator prior to the remote pendant
being connected. Rotate the remote pendant potentiometer clockwise to increase the welding voltage; rotate
anti-clockwise to decrease the welding voltage. The Power Source will preview the welding volts.
Set the Power Source to 10 pin Remote mode by pressing the remote / local button so the Remote LED is on,
and by pressing the 10 pin / 19 pin button until the 10 pin LED is on. The remote control pendant potentiometer
can adjust between 0 - 100% of the Power Source output volts setting. As an example, if the output voltage
on the power source front panel is set to 35V, the remote control device will be able to adjust between 14V to
35V over its complete range of rotation. If higher welding voltage is required, set the Power Source to Local
mode, adjust the output voltage, then return the Power Source to Remote mode.
Set the trigger switch to the "1" position to turn on the Power Source welding power output. Set the trigger
switch to "0" to turn off the Power Source welding power output.
Note 2: On some Power Sources, the welding output voltage at no load may be higher than the welding output
voltage.
