OVERVIEW

Take Control of Your Arc

Tired of being tethered to a foot pedal? The Parker PER1MS-5 Button Momentary Kit is the upgrade your rig needs. Designed specifically for Lincoln welders, this kit puts the power of amperage control right at your fingertips—literally. Whether you are climbing a ladder, crawling under a chassis, or just welding at a bench, having on-torch control changes the game. This kit features a vertical potentiometer (that's a fancy word for a smooth scrolling wheel or slider) that lets you dial your amps up or down while you weld. Need a little more heat to get the puddle flowing? Scroll up. Getting too hot? Scroll down. It’s that simple.

The kit also includes a momentary button for starting your arc. Just press to start, release to stop (depending on your machine's latch settings). This setup is perfect for tacking or running long beads where you need to adjust your heat on the fly. The vertical design of the amp control is super comfortable, sitting naturally under your thumb so you don't have to adjust your grip or wobble the torch while making changes. It’s all about keeping your hand steady and your focus on the puddle.

Installation is straightforward. It comes with the 5-pin plug that fits many Lincoln machines, so you aren't stuck splicing wires or guessing pinouts. It attaches securely to your torch handle, turning a standard torch into a fully remote-capable tool. This is a must-have for pipe welders, maintenance crews, and anyone who needs the freedom to weld out of position without losing control of their settings. Stop running back to the machine to tweak the dial; upgrade to the PER1MS-5 and weld smarter.

Built tough for the shop, this Parker kit can handle the sparks, heat, and grit of daily use. It’s a small investment that makes a huge difference in how you weld, giving you the finesse you need for those perfect Instagram-worthy dimes.

FAQ

This kit is designed for Lincoln welding machines that utilize a 5-pin remote control connector. Please verify your machine's pinout and receptacle type before purchasing.

A momentary switch is active only while pressed (like a doorbell), which is standard for TIG arc initiation. A maintained switch stays on until pressed again (like a light switch). This kit uses a momentary switch.

Yes, it can replace a foot pedal for amperage control and arc starting, offering greater mobility for out-of-position welding.

The vertical potentiometer is a variable resistor operated by a thumb wheel or slider, allowing the welder to increase or decrease the welding current linearly within the range set on the power source.

Installation is generally straightforward, involving attaching the control module to the torch handle and plugging the 5-pin connector into the welder. Some cable management (zip ties or tape) may be required.

Yes, this control kit attaches to the handle of the torch and is independent of the cooling method, so it works on both air-cooled and water-cooled TIG torches.

The '-5' typically indicates the 5-pin connector configuration used for specific Lincoln Electric power sources.

While the remote might physically plug in, on-torch amperage controls are almost exclusively used for TIG (GTAW) welding. Stick welding usually does not use a torch-mounted remote.
