G'day all,
New to the forum, so sorry in advance if this Topic has already been touched on. I've been lurkin about this forum and others in search of information about ways to add a remote torch switch for the HF arc start to this machine. Now in the manual it says that a gas solenoid/ contactor kit was a factory option for machines wired for 3 phase. The accessories kit came with a gas solenoid, contactor and from memory I believe it was a 24v transformer. My question for you fellas and possibly ladies is, could anyone give me some advice on an alternative way I can wire this up with aftermarket parts, for now I just want to add the remote torch switch for the arc start, manual gas control will suffice for the moment. Could this be done with an external 24v power source wired in conjunction with a contactor and to thw HF on the machine. I spoke with cig about options as obviously the kit is now obsolete, and they weren't very helpful at all, but I understand they aren't going to give me advice on an aftermarket alternative. I hope I've given a good and clear enough description of what i want to do, and any advice is greatly appreciated... Thanks jordo
