  1. Default A few 250ex questions (including a foot pedal one)

    My 250ex arrive yesterday... And aside from one screw missing out of the back bezel, everything appears kosher. Couldn't be happier.
    So I have a few questions.

    1. The weird ### looking 220v plug on the back of the unit.
    Is that a dedicated plug for the w300 water cooler? I didn't see anything in the PDF manual.

    2. To switch between single and 3 phase. Do I need to manually do it, like on my old transformer Hobart? I have little experience with invrters...

    3. I have a brand new pedal from a Lincoln Precision Tig 225.
    It was given to me for free. It has a large 6 pin connector.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to retrofit this to work on the 250ex?
    I typically can't figure out wiring crap...
    This pedal is perfect and would love to use it...

    There is a thread on the wiring for the foot pedal. I am not sure if my you have a friend that is good with wiring or if you maybe could figure it out. I know you mentioned you are not real good with wiring but maybe this thread will help in some way.

    I'm not certain but I don't think the potentiometer's are the same value between the Lincoln and Everlast pedals.

    Bill,
    They aren't.
    Ours are 47k.
    PinkNinja,
    As the manual states, the red wire is for the 3 phase. It is left out of the way if it is not use. It is only for 220V 3 phase, keep that in mind.
    The plug is for the cooler.

    I got mine within 7 day. Not sure why its taking you so long to get yours. Probably just a fluke. Hope this eases you to know that other people have gotten theirs without any issues.
