PowerTig 255EXT got CODE 805

[Kempy]

Got a 805 code when I pushed down the foot pedal to see what I had set the amps to I and got a 805 code, let off the pedal and the code went away. Checked the book and it said that Code 805 is (TORCH SWITCH IS STUCK CLOSED/ Turn off welder immediately and check switch) the switch is fine. It only dose it when you do not strike an arc within a few seconds like just too far away for the arc to start. If you let off the pedal the code disappears but if the code come on when you are going to start to weld and don’t for some reason, know the code comes on before it start an arc it will not start even if you touch the work with the tungsten it is dead, you must let off the pedal and restart again.
