Hand amptrol V205T AC/DC

admin

Hi, in a jam.  Have 3 broken wires at the conector to the machine from the amptrol.  Can solder but need schematic.  In the field, getting work back to the shop would be extremely difficult.  Any suggestions?  Quick repair on a race car tube frame (cracked).  May try to mig to get out of the jam but would have to travel again to tig propely.  TIA

Reply:Yeah, tried that...  just need to know which wires go to which terminals on the connector to the machine, can't find a schematic and can't even scratch a start!
Reply:If you put it in stick mode, you should be able to scratch start and tig weld with it without any kind of remote connected or working, provided you have a torch with a gas valve to turn on and off the gas with.So Lincoln doesn't provide remote connector wiring info in their owner's manuals???  Miller does on theirs..MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
Reply:I did something similar with the foot pedal. I emailed lincoln and they got right back to me.  Also found a diagram at the site listed below.  Attached pdf for foot control from lincoln.hope this helpshttp://www.arc-zone.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=4685 Attached ImagesS18082-2.TIF 2_215201090757 AM (1).pdf (57.6 KB, 67 views)Last edited by newlincoln; 06-22-2010 at 12:26 PM.Reason: Add attachment
Reply:Had it fixed by an area power equipment shop-$50 and 2.5hours to solder 3 leads! Truth is, he spent a lot of time getting getting the info on the pinout.  The leads are different colors than the foot pedal.  I migged the damage and it held up ok but later was lent a foot amptrol and I went to town and finished things up.  Thanks to all, didn't realize until this came up that the foot pedal works on this machine.  Shame on me, I have the same pedal on my Lincoln tig in my main shop, many miles away.
