ESAB Trigger wiring (8 Pin Rear)

admin

Man, so I messed up and bought the wrong mig gun (I just wanted a 15' cord).  Basically I was just going to re-wire the new torch to the old connector.  But ran into two problems...1. Wires on the tweco fusion 180 torch wires are not color coded (In my eyes its just a switch, it closes a circuit so does it really matter?)2. My picture I took before hand was blurry and I popped the pins out so now I have no clue where they go :'(.I am just trying to find any sort of diagram for the 8 pin connector for the trigger on a ESAB EM 215IC.I've emailed ESAB 3 times and have had no response over the past 2 weeks, I've searched until my eyes hurt.  I'm out of options lol, I am about to buy another mig gun ( I'm cheap this is a big deal to me lol).  I'm at my whits end lol any help would be appreciated.  Its just 2 wires lol, cant believe I messed this up.
Reply:You can make a short U shpaed jumper to test which sockets are used. When the feed rolls turn you hit the right combo. The wires don't matter. Like you said it's just a switch. But, pins 2 & 3 are for the mig gun switch, 4-8 are for foot control or hand amptrol.Thermal Arc 320SP ( Lorch )Cobra PythonsThermal Arc 300 AC/DC  ( Sanrex )ESAB 301i AC/DC  ( Lorch )Thermal Arc 161STL  ( WTL )Thermal Arc 190S  ( Sanrex )Cut Master 82, 42.
