New NOVA Wireless Pedal for Lincoln, Miller, ESAB, HTP, and Everlast

[lugweld]

The new NOVA wire pedal has just been announced. Delivery should be in September sometime. It could be sooner, but we don't want to press the final stage.

Price is going to list around 299.00

Let us know if we can save you one.

What kind of power does it use? I would want to change it over to 220 that way you won't need another cord to drag around with the welder.

[lugweld]

120 for the dongle, and battery for the pedal. I am not 100% sure how the power would matter on this one. The rear connection would be eaten up (on our units) by the watercooler. How would you supply a low amp 240V voltage plug?

[mechanic416]

Is Everlast going to be selling that pedal for all the listed welders? What about the AHP, Lotos, Eastwood, Primeweld, Razorweld, etc. ? Are they going to be programable so if you have 2 or 3 welders in the shop they will not interfere with each other?

[lugweld]

Right now these are for digitally controlled units. Will have to check on the future ones for non digitally controlled units.. The progammability issue is being resolved I think. I'll have to check. It will require a frequency switch, I am sure.

[ZKB]

I think it would be easy to tap off the power switch or from the cooler and mount another outlet on the back of the welder. There is no correct way to get 110 volt with out a neutral on 240 single phase. That's probably why the coolers are 220 also.

Mark, have you used one yet? I might be interested in one if I can get hold of some reviews.

[lugweld]

Still in final revision. Not yet used one.

[ZKB]

Got an ETA on these?

[lugweld]

Just ending the final phase of testing for distance/ interference etc. All tested concerns seem to be clear. Final preproduction samples are being made now. Hopefully we will have stock by end of year.

[BillE.Dee]

are y'all lookin for testers?

[lugweld]

No, lol. We got plenty of those standing in line.

Is there going to be a pre-order opening anytime soon? Don't want to miss out lol.

[lugweld]

We'll let you know. Covid has made things unpredictable. Should be soon though.

[BillE.Dee]

I have a 256 D....will the wireless pedal work?

[lugweld]

It should.

[robert-r]

It's been a while... any update on this?

[lugweld]

Early April we hope. They are in production this month sometime.

[lugweld]

The production models are scheduled to be available soon. BTW, the units are rechargeable and under our heavy testing last past 40 days between charges on a full 8 hour shift of constant 100% duty cycle use. Compared to similar models we tested, this is more than twice the life span. Expected recharge cycle life is 300 cycles before the batteries begin to decline. The unit also has an off switch to extend battery life when not in use.

SO I finally got my pedal and tried it out for the first time tonight it will not vary the amperage just acts the same as a thumb button. Has anybody had a problem with there's? It was to late to call so I thought I would try here going to call in the AM I am using it on a 350EXT

[lugweld]

What do you have your machine set to on the panel? Is it 2T, pedal, 4T, 2T+Pedal, or 4T +Pedal?

[ZKB]

It is on the same setting that I use the standard pedal on. There wasn't any paperwork in the packaging I assumed you used it on the same settings.

[lugweld]

Which is it on then? Need all the info you can give me.

[ZKB]

It is on pedal the same setting I use with the wired pedal

[lugweld]

Sounds good. Just call the guys over at ext 207 at 977 755 9353 and they can help you and get you another one if necessary.
