Wireless Remote Best Practices

flight.jpg

The passage of information has been key throughout time. In the picture aside, the british mark I tank, during the great war,had no radio installed. It relied instead on carrier pigeons instead.

Fortunately, we have radio to communicate with our welding machine through our wireless welding remote. however, there are rules you should ablige to.

These rules will shadow the way people count cards on the card game twenty one. We will assign values to conditions.

Favourible conditions will be given a +1. normal conditions will give us neutral or zero. And finally, unfavourable conditions will give us a -1 or even -2. Mind you, there are few +1’s and many -1’s

I will give a remote system a facevalue a score of +4 out of the box. And we will treat the score +-0 as end of line (no function)

Above and Beyond Practices

  • Receiver positioned above welder +1

  • Repeater System +3

  • Using Stinger and hand remote is positioned six feet up with a good path +1

  • Helper holding hand remote sideways five feet off ground +1

Neutral Practices

  • Receiver Cable strain pointing down +-0

Poor Practices

  • Every 100 feet -1

  • Deep Pit -3

  • Inside Building (metal walls) -3

  • Receiver positioned equal or below the top of welder -1

  • Hand Remote on pipe laying flat magnets pointing towards the ground -1

  • Receiver cable strain pointed anywhere but down -2

These values will be adjusted over time to depict true experience. I believe it will help not only you, the user, but us, the developer, to measure remote system performance.
