REMOTE CONTROL (TIG 200 A DC only)
The remote control operates in TIG and MMA mode.
Connector technology
The Tig 200 is equipped with a female socket for a remote control. The specific 7 point male plug (GYS product

Connecting remote/pedal
1- Power up the machine
2- Plug the pedal/remote control to the connecting socket on the machine.
3- The screen will flash and display « No » (Nothing),
4- Select the type of control by turning the intensity adjustment knob:
« No » (Nothing) / « RC »  (Remote Control) / « PEd »  (Pedal)
5- Turn the knob until the desired selecton is reached, and after 2 seconds the display will freeze on the chosen
selection.

Functions
Manual remote control: (
The remote control enables the variation of current from minimum intensity (DC : 10A / MMA : 10A) to an intensity
defined by the user.
