- Опубліковано 1 лип 2022
- HBT-2000Pro is a great welder. We rated it a 4 in our initial review.. In this DIM DIY video we'll go over how to upgrade it to 5 star unit with 2 upgrades.
1st we deal with the 200 amp WP26 torch that is stiff, heavy, with a large head. The Euro style torch has amperage controls we don't care for. We eliminate that. We cover the build and installation of a hybrid CK17 flex head including examining the wiring of the WP26 switch, the 5 pin connector, & the main board wiring. We show modifying an Eastwood trigger swtich to work with it. We show and solve GOTCHA's to allow using the CK17-FX with this Tig welder.
We also show fixing the loose gas connector (common on this unit) on front of unit

I just bumped into this after first watching your previous review, many moons ago. LOL
Although I haven't used mine very much since last year, (too many welders-too little time) I am getting reacquainted with it once again. I see you've been very busy and done a lot of investigative research. Thank you!
I had intended to do what you have done, this saves me a ton of brain twisting and wire tracing. I had all of the pieces already, just needed to go and do all of leg work of wire tracing and now that's done thanks to you. A bit more involved than I first thought but a worthwhile project none the less and easy enough to do so not a deal breaker by any means.
Thank you once again!!!!
Very Welcome.. glad it helps
@@lars-dimdiy-howtos464 And yes I forgot to mention, the length variations for Dinse connectors and sockets seen to be part of the Chinese supplier's landscape and not just applicable to these machines only. I've gotten to the point of just chucking them into the lathe upon arrival to match them up, since it seems to be a dog's breakfast out there for the several Asian machines I own. Not so much though for the high dollar units.
More folks need to see your videos in order to save themselves a lot of aggravation.
Once again, thank you!
Hi. I buy pedal from Hitbox hbt2000p but with another connector. The Hitbox promise me schematic. Hzxvogen and Hitbox this is the same device, but different colors-)))
Thank you for sharing.. Yes .. same top level company. The pedal shown in Hzxvogen manual was lots of pins.. Keep us informed of progress.
I see the pedal is offered by both Hzxvogen and Hitbox.. The numbers on the 5 pin socket of the pedal match the numbering of the Torch socket.. The wiring (schematic) should be same as shown in this video.. for the cables .. To know what is in the pedal box should be easy to see.
Pedal is analogue potentiometers. And the controlling not the same as a button on the torch
How I can send the photo?
@@pistoletov1974 Sorry we were preparing for and then yesterday was Father's day. I saw it is possible to post photo to community bulletin board on YT. I think it is only way.
Do you know if you can add a foot pedal to the welder?
Technically - yes. Realistically - depends on how far and how much you are willing to spend/do. It was possible to put a huge V8 in a VW bug too.
The manual shows a pedal switch with instructions. It states that it has a fourteen-lead aero-socket on it. The picture shows a pedal with 12 pin connector but the front of the unit only has a 5 pin??? I have never seen it sold or offered anywhere. If used it eliminates use of 4T or pulse settings. I believe it is similar to some foot pedals that have a rheostat control on the side of the pedal. Since the manual says the unit senses the pedal and limits the machine to 2T and eliminates front panel current adjustment to me that means technically one can be rigged up to work.
IMO it probably would be better to just get a different welder that already has that capacity. By switching to trigger switch and having pulse 2T/4T I don't see a need for a pedal for any of the welding I have done but that is a personal preference decision.
@@lars-dimdiy-howtos464 cool options for other people who have the same thing was wondering if it would work thanks for the info on the machine.
Very welcome.
Will it weld aluminium?
It is DC only so even though it is powerful enough it will not. One needs AC option on a welder to do that..
