TC-2B TORCH CONTROL

30-FT., P/N 33839

This remote fingertip control is designed to be taped to

any Tig torch handle and it allows the operator complete

contactor control and variable control of the welding

current. The TC-2B is available with 30-foot cable

lengths and includes prewired current and contactor

control plugs. The control knob of this torch handle

potentiometer/switch is designed for right-or-left-handed

accessibility. By simply rotating the knob clockwise (off

of zero) the integral switch will energize the contactor,

and further regulation (clockwise) will increase the

output current up to limit preset on the power source’s

main control.

To use the remote torch control, proceed as follows:

CAUTION: Make sure the switch/pot. of the Torch

Control is in its extreme counterclockwise

(zero) position prior to and after each weld-

ing operation.

In this position, the welding contactor is

deenergized and the torch electrode is

electrically “cold”-thus eliminating the pos-

sibility of accidental shock to the operator.

1. Place the control in the most comfortable position

that allows complete torch and control manipulation,

and tape the control to the torch handle. Stretch the

tape over the molding corners as needed.

2. Insert the torch control cable plug in the remote

current and contactor receptacle on the power

source.

3. Set the power source Remote/Panel toggle

switch(es) to the Remote position.

4. Set the power source main “current control” to the

maximum current to be used.

5. Rotate the torch control knob clockwise (from zero)

to energize the contactor, and continue rotation until

the desired welding current is achieved.
