Torch, pedal

admin

What kind of torch and foot pedal do I need for my he-251d-1? Need you guys help
Reply:14-pin Miller compatible foot pedal.  The SSC pedal is very nice and not very expensive.  The torch will depend a lot on how you want to set it up.  I used a generic lug adapter with a threaded thru hole so the gas feed hose goes in one side and the torch hose goes in the other.  It was something like this:https://weldfabulous.com/ck-15pca-po...4-xref-105z57/You bolt the torch lug on the 251 thru the hole and the hoses go into the 2 threaded holes thru the body of it.And stop calling it an HE-251 as it is HF-251... HF = High frequency.  You could have just added this to your other thread...-DaveXMT304 with: 22A Feeder, or HF251 Hi Freq DC TIG air cooled
Reply:Ok I got the sac pedal, now would you help me how to set my HF? Do I need to have it on to panel or remote?, start or continuous? High frequency around what 50? Ok now on my xmt should I put to tig with pedal or pedal CC? On remote or panel on xmt? How about arc control? I would apréciate you for your help, Thank you very very much

Reply:Settings:- Remote not panel- Start not Continuous- 50% is probably as good as anything to start.  Directions says as low as you can set it and it still works. Try lower if you want.- XMT selector to TIG with pedal and remote (I think...not 100% on the remote)You need to connect the 14-pin connector from the HF251 to the XMT and the SSC pedal 14-pin connector to the HF251. Then you feed the 2 main cables from the XMT to the HF251.  Don't try to bypass and go directly from the XMT to the work with the ground/work clamp. Both the torch and ground/work leads need to go through the HF251 to your work & torch.  Depending on what you have for a torch and cables, you may need to get some fittings/adapters or buy/make short cables to bridge from the XMT to the HF251. And make sure the (-) terminal from the XMT goes to the torch and the (+) to the ground/work clamp.  You set the max amps you want on the XMT and then the pedal gives you from 0 to that max amp setting depending on how far you push it down.  It took me a bit of head scratching to get all the cables and connections sorted out, so take your time.I'm no expert, I just have the same basic setup...-DaveXMT304 with: 22A Feeder, or HF251 Hi Freq DC TIG air cooled
