FC-5 FOOT OPERATED
REMOTE CURRENT AND CONTACTOR CONTROL
This remote control is designed for use with any ESAB
Tig type power source that employs a single (common)
current and contactor control 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 which controls contactor operation
at the weld station when the PRS is placed in the “Re-
mote” position. Both the potentiometer and switch are
operated when the FC-5 pedal is depressed. See the
schematic diagram in your respective power source in-
struction manual.
Interconnection of these functions to the main power
source is provided by a single mating 25-ft. cable/plug
assembly provided.
Make sure all primary power to Power Source is dis-
connected before installation of these plugs.
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-5 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.
