Compatible remote control types: 

 

manual remote controller. 

 

UP/DOWN or potentiometer TIG torch. 

 

foot pedal controller. 

The maximum and minimum TIG welding current values can be set with the foot pedal controller. 

The up slope and down slope cannot be controlled via the foot pedal. 

The following welding procedures can be selected with the foot pedal:

If both remote controllers are connected, the foot pedal assumes priority over the UP/DOWN or potentiometer TIG torch. 

When this function is active welding is performed without the following parameters:
