Test method?

admin

So I got one of those older 165a Chicago tig/stick combinations with hf start. No pedal, but I found a titanium pedal with the same connector. As I'm new to tig, and don't have a gas bottle yet, what's the safe procedure to test and make sure both the machine and the pedal are working on their own and correctly with each other? I have stick welded with the machine already. Hoping I can find out with a volt meter without taking it apart.

Reply:Right, I thought maybe this was a more correct place to ask. I've got most of it figured out, but there are things I'm unsure of that I'd like someone experienced with pedal wiring to make sure I don't screw the pooch.
