ESAB FC-5C Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS for
REMOTE CURRENT AND CONTACTOR CONTROL
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.
Make sure all primary power to Power Source is disconnected before installation of these plugs.
