How does the tig foot pedal work?
I assume you get 100% amperage range from it. But what is the knob on it for? Does it set the max amps you can get from the pedal?

Exactly. Some models let you set the max amperage at the panel, while others have a knob on the pedal. Which machine do you have?Quote:

You could probably do a quick test to see if the panel control is functional with the pedal plugged in. That would tell you that you have the wrong pedal.Quote:

Another thing, has it been known for the pulse feature to stop working on these units?
Ok, I won't even factor a guess on what version is current for Australia. I have seen that there are differences for that market. I'm sure if you give Everlast Australia a call they will be able to answer all of your questions.Quote:

The manual that came with the unit is probably your best source of info for something like that. What I meant was that if the panel control works even with the pedal plugged in, you have the new style, and need a pedal with no knob. If the panel control doesn't work with the pedal plugged in, you need the pedal with the knob. The 200DX has been changed over the years so even though the model number is the same, there are really a few different machines that wear that number, with slight differences in design and features.
Not sure when you bought it, but Bob can help you out there.
