OUTPUT CONNECTION FOR TIG WELDING

A one piece Gas Valve Tig Torch is recommended for use with the V160-S. A K960-1 Tig Torch adapter is required. See accessories section.

REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTION

A remote control receptacle is provided on the lower center case front of the welder for connecting a remote control to the machine. The V160-S will auto- matically sense if a remote control connection is made. In Lift TIG mode (GTAW), WITHOUT a remote control device connected to the V160-S, the output will come on automatically. WITH a remote control device connected to the unit, the output will need to be triggered, i.e. a Foot Amptrol. Refer to the Optional Accessories section of this manual for available remote controls.

The following items can be connected to the 6 pin socket on the front panel:

•Remote control potentiometer (K857) for Stick welding.

•Remote Foot Amptrol (K870), Hand Amptrol (K963-3).
