miller maxstar 200dx, ser # lk280189l
unit turns on, keypad seems to work fine, hit the foot pedal and the argon turns on. But it never welds. The volt readout shows ---,then when I hit the pedal it goes to 80, turn the pedal up and down, it never changes from 80, and never welds.
I bought this machine used, never used it, but it sat on a shelf for a while so I did not use it and can no longer contact original owner, my fault.
The torch it came with had the wrong connector on it, im wondering if it has the wrong foot pedal. foot pedal is rfcs-14hd, which should be compatible, but in the owners manual it talks about pins, this foot pedal has a pin in a,b,c,d,e
looking in owners manuals something like a syncrowave shows a,b,d,c,e,k-chassis ground
the owners manual for the 200dx shows a,b,c,d,e,f,h,g,k-chassis ground
Every pic I find online only shows 5 pins, I cant find any pics of a foot pedal with anything different. So maybe I have the wrong foot pedal, maybe I dont know how to set it up, I did a step by step with the owners manual and think it is right. electric is single phase 247vols, machines cord is wired for single phase.
any ideas before I drop it off at a service center,
thanks sam
