- Foot control signal
In this mode of operation the welding current is switched on and off using the pedal and is
controlled by the operator using his foot. The welding machine automatically operates in the
non-latch mode only. The upslope and downslope times are automatically set to their
minimum values.
Warning: Ensure that accidental operation of the machine is prevented by accidentally
depressing the foot switch. When the foot pedal is activated, there is a danger of electric
shock caused by the high voltage pulses generated by the welding set!
7.2 TIG PLUS 2 hand-operated remote control unit (order no. 753 1002)
The TIG PLUS 2 hand-operated remote control unit allows the welding current to be adjusted
not only before but also during the welding operation. When the hand regulator is set to
100%, the welding current reaches the full value set on the welding output potentiometer on
the machine. The machine can therefore be set to the maximum current required, allowing
optimum resolution in the required current range. The welding current is switched on and off
using the torch button; the Non-latch and latched operating modes as well as the downslope
time are active and can be selected on the machine.
7.3 REHM SR17/4m torch with current control potentiometer and leather
outer cover (Article No. 763 1711)
The REHM R-SR17/4m TIG torch with current control potentiometer and leather outer cover
offers the same functionality as the hand-operated remote control unit described in Section
7.2 above. The welding current can be set and adjusted, prior to and during welding using
the adjustment potentiometer which is integrated within the torch handle. The torch is
connected to the standard torch control and remote control sockets of the TIGER 170/210.
The REHM R-SR17/4m TIG torch with current control potentiometer and leather outer cover
is specifically designed for use with the electronic control of the TIGER 170/210.
WARNING: The use of any other TIG torches with remote control functions except those
specifically supplied by REHM on the TIGER 170 will void the manufacturers warranty.
