Hobart CyberTig foot pedal problems

From a quick look at the schematics in your manual it looks like that 10 pin connector isn't for the remote control. Based on what I found there it's for a special "dabber" torch (what ever that is).

I suspect that you may be right. Do you think that I can fit that pedal to the 19 pin pendant connector? (either by re-soldering or getting a new connector, I would prefer the latter to keep the pendant

I'm sure it can be done but my quick browse through the manual showed me that you might not manage to get all of the features available on that plug to work.

Thanks. I spent a while thinking about these two pages in the manual, today. I will think more and probably will get a new amphenol plug and try to connect it to the foot pedal, sparing the existing pendant. That way I will have at least one thing that works.

Could it be both male male had the male pinout not the female pinout - mirror image ?

No, I thnk that Wayne is right, the top connector (10 pin) is not for the pedal.

I just tried your suggestion.

My Cybertig 2, has a female 10 pin for the foot pedal. I breadboarded up a pot and swtich and simply stuck the wires into the proper holes to test the machine.

I wish someone would give me $200 for this thing. Currently its stored outside.and winter is coming.

It should sell on ebay for at least $100.

what would shipping to st pete FL cost ? as long as I can ask all the Iggy questions too :) ducking !

sounds like what I need to brush up on skills I learned almost 30 years ago :) Marc

It may not necessarily cost as much as you suspect it could. Call Freightquote. Try Frank, Freightquote.com, 800-323-5441x1386, say that Igor from Algebra Inc referred you (I get no commission on this, just a matter of being nice). Also check out AAA Cooper, they had fantastic rates recently. You may get a huge variation in quoted rates.

You also would get a good discount if this item could be dropped off at the shipper's terminal and picked up at a terminal also.

I personally love my Cyber Tig dearly. It's a real thing. Not sure if Gunner's is the same as mine, looks like his is a different model.

Gunners has a slightly different control drawer but has most of the functions that yours has just in a different layout. His is also a much bigger welder with a lot more amps available (of course that means it needs more input).

Its about 600 lbs..give or take.

At full out put of 675 amps..its rated at 105 input amps...of 3 phase.

A 10hp RPC will run it at normal welding amps.
