ABSTRACT:
A welding device is disclosed having a remote control device configured to control an operating parameter of the welding device (e.g., welding current) and a control circuit to receive a remote device signal from the remote control device and to determine the type of remote control device based on the remote device signal. Remote devices may be "trigger only", "hand control", "fingertip control" or "foot control" devices. The welding device further includes an operating parameter selector (e.g., welding amperage) and a welding process selector (e.g., TIG, STICK) mounted on a control panel. The control circuit receives an operating parameter selector signal from the operating parameter selector and a welding process selector signal from the welding process selector, and controls an operating parameter with one of the remote device signal and the operating parameter selector signal based on the welding process selector signal. The control circuit also selectively disables adjustment of the operating parameter selector when controlling the operating parameter with the remote device signal.
