The Lincoln Electric K857-3 Remote Output Control is an essential accessory for professional welders who demand efficiency and precision in their workflow. Designed to bridge the gap between the operator and the power source, this unit allows for the remote adjustment of output voltage or amperage up to 100 feet (30.5 meters) away from the machine. This extended reach is particularly beneficial in large-scale fabrication environments, construction sites, and shipyards where the power source may be stationary or located at a significant distance from the actual welding zone.
Equipped with a 12-pin universal accessory connector, the K857-3 is engineered to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of Lincoln Electric power sources. The plug-and-play design ensures that setup is quick and hassle-free, allowing operators to get to work immediately. It is important to note for users of the Power Wave® S350 that this remote control requires the K3001-2 Stick/TIG User Interface to function correctly. This specific compatibility requirement ensures that the advanced features of the Power Wave system are fully accessible and controllable via the remote unit.
Built to withstand the rigors of heavy industry, the K857-3 features a robust housing that protects the internal components from impact, dust, and debris common in welding environments. The unit measures 8 inches by 8.5 inches by 13 inches and weighs approximately 13.90 lbs (6.30 kg), making it substantial enough to stay in place during use yet portable enough to be moved easily around the job site. The control knob is designed for easy manipulation, even while wearing heavy welding gloves, providing tactile feedback for precise adjustments.
By utilizing the K857-3, welders can significantly reduce the number of trips made back and forth to the power source. This not only saves valuable time and increases arc-on time but also enhances safety by reducing the likelihood of trips and falls associated with moving around a cluttered worksite. The ability to fine-tune settings at the arc ensures that welds are performed with the exact parameters required, leading to higher quality results and fewer re-works.
