WARNING
INSTRUCTIONS for
This remote control is designed for use with any
power source that employs a single (common) cur-
rent and contactor control 14-pin Amphenol recep-
tacle. 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-5C 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.
By depressing the foot pedal, the weld start sequence
circuit will energize, and the welding current will in-
crease or decrease semi-linearly within the range pre-
set on the power source "Current" control potentiom-
eter.
To use the remote control, proceed as follows:
1. Plug the FC-5C 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.
