–  Sequencer  Control  –  Use  the  push  button  control  in  the  TIG  mode  when  using  the 

sequencer.  Push  the  push  button  to  initiate  the  arc  and  then  push  it  again  to  advance  to  the 

next step in the sequencer.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8.2 Remote Contactor And Amperage Control 

– This unit comes standard with a remote foot pedal 

control.  The  remote  foot  pedal  is  used  to  initiate  the  arc  and  then  vary  the  amperage  during  your 

weld. Connect the remote foot pedal control to the Foot Pedal Connection on the lower front panel.
