10-2005 - Thermal Arc 14-Pin Hand Remote Control 25ft

Precise Remote Control for Thermal Arc Welders

The Thermal Arc 10-2005 Hand Held Pendant is a specialized accessory designed to enhance the functionality of Thermal Arc welding power sources. Engineered for professionals who demand precision and flexibility, this remote control unit connects via a standard 14-pin Amphenol connector, making it compatible with a wide range of Thermal Arc inverters and welding machines that support remote amperage regulation. The unit serves as a critical interface between the operator and the machine, allowing for real-time adjustments to welding parameters without the need to be physically near the power source.

One of the primary technical advantages of this pendant is its 25-foot (7.6-meter) control cable. This extended length provides significant operational freedom, allowing the welder to work on large assemblies, climb scaffolds, or maneuver into tight spaces while maintaining full control over the heat input. The cable is built with durable insulation to resist the harsh conditions typical of industrial environments, including exposure to sparks, abrasion, and dirt.

The pendant itself is designed for hand-held operation, featuring an ergonomic interface—typically a rotary dial or slider—that enables smooth and incremental amperage changes. This is particularly beneficial for TIG and Stick welding processes where heat control is paramount to preventing burn-through or lack of fusion. By placing the control in the welder's hand, the 10-2005 facilitates immediate reaction to changing joint geometries or material thicknesses.

In terms of system integration, the 14-pin configuration is a widely recognized standard within the Thermal Arc product line, ensuring plug-and-play functionality with compatible units. This remote does not merely act as an on/off switch but provides full-range current control, effectively overriding the machine's panel settings to give the operator local authority over the arc characteristics. This tool is an indispensable asset for fabrication shops, maintenance crews, and field welders seeking to optimize their workflow and weld quality.
