From Miller to You
Thank you and congratulations on choosing Miller. Now you can get
the job done and get it done right. We know you don’t have time to do
it any other way.
That’s why when Niels Miller first started building arc welders in 1929,
he made sure his products offered long-lasting value and superior
quality. Like you, his customers couldn’t afford anything less. Miller
products had to be more than the best they could be. They had to be the
best you could buy.
Today, the people that build and sell Miller products continue the
tradition. They’re just as committed to providing equipment and service
that meets the high standards of quality and value established in 1929.
This Owner’s Manual is designed to help you get the most out of your
Miller products. Please take time to read the Safety precautions. They
will help you protect yourself against potential hazards on the worksite.
We’ve made installation and operation quick
and easy. With Miller you can count on years
of reliable service with proper maintenance.
And if for some reason the unit needs repair,
there’s a Troubleshooting section that will
help you figure out what the problem is. The

This group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out! ELECTRIC
SHOCK, MOVING PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult symbols and related instructions below for necessary actions to avoid the
hazards.
1-2. Arc Welding Hazards
The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual
to call attention to and identify possible hazards. When you
see the symbol, watch out, and follow the related instructions
to avoid the hazard. The safety information given below is
only a summary of the more complete safety information
found in the Safety Standards listed in Section 1-5. Read and
follow all Safety Standards.
Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and
repair this unit.
During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks
or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is
electrically live whenever the output is on. The input
power circuit and machine internal circuits are also
live when power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic
wire welding, the wire, wire reel, drive roll housing,
and all metal parts touching the welding wire are
electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly
grounded equipment is a hazard.
D Do not touch live electrical parts.
D Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
D Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats
or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work
or ground.
D Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if
there is a danger of falling.
D Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process.
D If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on
unit.
D Additional safety precautions are required when any of the following electrically hazardous conditions are present: in damp
locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such
as floors, gratings, or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such
as sitting, kneeling, or lying; or when there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground. For these
conditions, use the following equipment in order presented: 1) a
semiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder, 2) a DC manual
(stick) welder, or 3) an AC welder with reduced open-circuit voltage. In most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire welder
is recommended. And, do not work alone!
D Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or
servicing this equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according to
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards).
D Properly install, ground, and operate this equipment according to
its Owner’s Manual and national, state, and local codes.
D Always verify the supply ground − check and be sure that input
power cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal in
disconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properly
grounded receptacle outlet.
D When making input connections, attach proper grounding conductor first − double-check connections.
D Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal
and sparks.
D Frequently inspect input power cord and ground conductor for
damage or bare wiring – replace immediately if damaged – bare
wiring can kill.
D Turn off all equipment when not in use.
D Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or repaired cables.
D Do not drape cables over your body.
D If earth grounding of the workpiece is required, ground it directly
with a separate cable.
D Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground,
or another electrode from a different machine.
D Do not touch electrode holders connected to two welding machines at the same time since double open-circuit voltage will be
present.
D Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged
parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual.
D Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.
D Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
D Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpiece
or worktable as near the weld as practical.
D Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to prevent
contact with any metal object.
D Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to any
single weld output terminal. Disconnect cable for process not in
use.
D Use GFCI protection when operating auxiliary equipment in damp
or wet locations.
SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists in inverter welding power sources AFTER removal of input power.
D Turn Off inverter, disconnect input power, and discharge input
capacitors according to instructions in Maintenance Section
before touching any parts.
HOT PARTS can burn.
D Do not touch hot parts bare handed.
D Allow cooling period before working on
equipment.
D To handle hot parts, use proper tools and/or wear heavy, insulated welding gloves and clothing to prevent burns.
OM-273243 Page 1
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.
Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing
these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your
health.
D Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
D If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the
arc to remove welding fumes and gases. The recommended way
to determine adequate ventilation is to sample for the composition
and quantity of fumes and gases to which personnel are exposed.
D If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
D Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the
manufacturer’s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners,
consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
D Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while
wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and
lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.
D Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form
highly toxic and irritating gases.
D Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or
cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld
area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied
respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements
can give off toxic fumes if welded.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense
visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays
that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the
weld.
D Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of
filter lenses to protect your face and eyes from arc rays and
sparks when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1
listed in Safety Standards).
D Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your
helmet.
D Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,
glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
D Wear body protection made from durable, flame−resistant material (leather, heavy cotton, wool). Body protection includes
oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless
trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
WELDING can cause fire or explosion.
Welding on closed containers, such as tanks,
drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks
can fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot
workpiece, and hot equipment can cause fires and
burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause
sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is
safe before doing any welding.
D Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc. If
this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.
D Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
D Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
D Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can
easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.
D Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
D Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can
cause fire on the hidden side.
D Do not weld on containers that have held combustibles, or on
closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes unless they are
properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 and AWS A6.0 (see
Safety Standards).
D Do not weld where the atmosphere can contain flammable dust,
gas, or liquid vapors (such as gasoline).
D Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area as
practical to prevent welding current from traveling long, possibly
unknown paths and causing electric shock, sparks, and fire
hazards.
D Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.
OM-273243 Page 2
D Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at
contact tip when not in use.
D Wear body protection made from durable, flame−resistant material
(leather, heavy cotton, wool). Body protection includes oil-free
clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high
shoes, and a cap.
D Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches,
from your person before doing any welding.
D After completion of work, inspect area to ensure it is free of sparks,
glowing embers, and flames.
D Use only correct fuses or circuit breakers. Do not oversize or bypass them.
D Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51B
for hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.
D Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the
manufacturer’s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners,
consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
FLYING METAL or DIRT can injure eyes.
D Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding
cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool,
they can throw off slag.
D Wear approved safety glasses with side
shields even under your welding helmet.
BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.
D Shut off compressed gas supply when not in use.
D Always ventilate confined spaces or use
approved air-supplied respirator.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS (EMF)
can affect Implanted Medical Devices.
D Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted
Medical Devices should keep away.
D Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor
and the device manufacturer before going near arc welding, spot
welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating
operations.
NOISE can damage hearing.
Noise from some processes or equipment can
damage hearing.
D Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.
Compressed gas cylinders contain gas under high
pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since
gas cylinders are normally part of the welding
process, be sure to treat them carefully.
D Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs.
D Install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary
support or cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping.
D Keep cylinders away from any welding or other electrical circuits.
D Never drape a welding torch over a gas cylinder.
D Never allow a welding electrode to touch any cylinder.
D Never weld on a pressurized cylinder − explosion will result.
D Use only correct compressed gas cylinders, regulators, hoses,
and fittings designed for the specific application; maintain them
and associated parts in good condition.
D Turn face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve. Do
not stand in front of or behind the regulator when opening the valve.
D Keep protective cap in place over valve except when cylinder is in
use or connected for use.
D Use the right equipment, correct procedures, and sufficient number of persons to lift and move cylinders.
D Read and follow instructions on compressed gas cylinders,
associated equipment, and Compressed Gas Association (CGA)
publication P-1 listed in Safety Standards.

1-6. EMF Information
Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric
and magnetic fields (EMF). The current from arc welding (and allied processes including spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, and
induction heating operations) creates an EMF field around the welding
circuit. EMF fields can interfere with some medical implants, e.g. pacemakers. Protective measures for persons wearing medical implants
have to be taken. For example, restrict access for passers−by or conduct individual risk assessment for welders. All welders should use the
following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from
the welding circuit:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a
cable cover.
2. Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange cables
to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
OM-273243 Page 4
4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the
welding circuit as possible.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible.
6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.
7. Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source or wire
feeder.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the
device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding, spot
welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.
If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures is recommended.

inhalation peut être dangereux pour votre santé.
D Eloigner votre tête des fumées. Ne pas respirer les fumées.
D À l’intérieur, ventiler la zone et/ou utiliser une ventilation forcée au
niveau de l’arc pour l’évacuation des fumées et des gaz de
soudage. Pour déterminer la bonne ventilation, il est recommandé
de procéder à un prélèvement pour la composition et la quantité
de fumées et de gaz auxquels est exposé le personnel.
D Si la ventilation est médiocre, porter un respirateur anti-vapeurs
approuvé.
D Lire et comprendre les fiches de données de sécurité et les instructions du fabricant concernant les adhésifs, les revêtements, les
nettoyants, les consommables, les produits de refroidissement, les
dégraisseurs, les flux et les métaux.
D Travailler dans un espace fermé seulement s’il est bien ventilé ou
en portant un respirateur à alimentation d’air. Demander toujours à
un surveillant dûment formé de se tenir à proximité. Des fumées et
des gaz de soudage peuvent déplacer l’air et abaisser le niveau
d’oxygène provoquant des blessures ou des accidents mortels.
S’assurer que l’air de respiration ne présente aucun danger.
D Ne pas souder dans des endroits situés à proximité d’opérations
de dégraissage, de nettoyage ou de pulvérisation. La chaleur et
les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir en présence de vapeurs et former des gaz hautement toxiques et irritants.
D Ne pas souder des métaux munis d’un revêtement, tels que l’acier
galvanisé, plaqué en plomb ou au cadmium à moins que le revêtement n’ait été enlevé dans la zone de soudure, que l’endroit soit
bien ventilé, et en portant un respirateur à alimentation d’air. Les
revêtements et tous les métaux renfermant ces éléments peuvent
dégager des fumées toxiques en cas de soudage.
LES RAYONS DE L’ARC peuvent
provoquer des brûlures dans les
yeux et sur la peau.
Le rayonnement de l’arc du procédé de soudage génère
des rayons visibles et invisibles intenses (ultraviolets e
infrarouges) susceptibles de provoquer des brûlures dans les yeux et sur la
peau. Des étincelles sont projetées pendant le soudage.
D Porter un casque de soudage approuvé muni de verres filtrants
approprié pour protéger visage et yeux pour protéger votre visage
et vos yeux pendant le soudage ou pour regarder (voir ANSI Z49.1
et Z87.1 énuméré dans les normes de sécurité).

protéger les autres contre les rayonnements les éblouissements
et les étincelles ; prévenir toute personne sur les lieux de ne pas
regarder l’arc.
D Porter un équipement de protection pour le corps fait d’un matériau
résistant et ignifuge (cuir, coton robuste, laine). La protection du
corps comporte des vêtements sans huile comme par ex. des
gants de cuir, une chemise solide, des pantalons sans revers, des
chaussures hautes et une casquette.
LE SOUDAGE peut provoquer un
incendie ou une explosion.
Le soudage effectué sur des conteneurs fermés tels
que des réservoirs, tambours ou des conduites peut
provoquer leur éclatement. Des étincelles peuvent
être projetées de l’arc de soudure. La projection d’étincelles, des
pièces chaudes et des équipements chauds peut provoquer des incendies et des brûlures. Le contact accidentel de l’électrode avec des
objets métalliques peut provoquer des étincelles, une explosion, un surOM-273243 Page 6
chauffement ou un incendie. Avant de commencer le soudage, vérifier
et s’assurer que l’endroit ne présente pas de danger.
D Déplacer toutes les substances inflammables à une distance de
10,7 m de l’arc de soudage. En cas d’impossibilité les recouvrir
soigneusement avec des protections homologués.
D Ne pas souder dans un endroit là où des étincelles peuvent tomber
sur des substances inflammables.
D Se protéger et d’autres personnes de la projection d’étincelles et
de métal chaud.

facilement passer dans d’autres zones en traversant de petites
fissures et des ouvertures.
D Surveiller tout déclenchement d’incendie et tenir un extincteur à
proximité.
D Le soudage effectué sur un plafond, plancher, paroi ou séparation
peut déclencher un incendie de l’autre côté.
D Ne pas effectuer le soudage sur des conteneurs fermés tels que
des réservoirs, tambours, ou conduites, à moins qu’ils n’aient été
préparés correctement conformément à AWS F4.1 et AWS A6.0
(voir les Normes de Sécurité).
D Ne pas souder là où l’air ambiant pourrait contenir des poussières,
gaz ou émanations inflammables (vapeur d’essence, par
exemple).
D Brancher le câble de masse sur la pièce le plus près possible de la
zone de soudage pour éviter le transport du courant sur une
longue distance par des chemins inconnus éventuels en provoquant des risques d’électrocution, d’étincelles et d’incendie.
D Ne pas utiliser le poste de soudage pour dégeler des conduites gelées.
D En cas de non utilisation, enlever la baguette d’électrode du porteélectrode ou couper le fil à la pointe de contact.
D Porter un équipement de protection pour le corps fait d’un matériau
résistant et ignifuge (cuir, coton robuste, laine). La protection du
corps comporte des vêtements sans huile comme par ex. des
gants de cuir, une chemise solide, des pantalons sans revers, des
chaussures hautes et une casquette.
D Avant de souder, retirer toute substance combustible de vos poches telles qu’un allumeur au butane ou des allumettes.
D Une fois le travail achevé, assurez−vous qu’il ne reste aucune
trace d’étincelles incandescentes ni de flammes.

2-6. Informations relatives aux CEM
Le courant électrique qui traverse tout conducteur génère des champs
électromagnétiques (CEM) à certains endroits. Le courant issu d’un
soudage à l’arc (et de procédés connexes, y compris le soudage par
points, le gougeage, le découpage plasma et les opérations de
chauffage par induction) crée un champ électromagnétique (CEM)
autour du circuit de soudage. Les champs électromagnétiques produits
peuvent causer interférence à certains implants médicaux, p. ex. les
stimulateurs cardiaques. Des mesures de protection pour les porteurs
d’implants médicaux doivent être prises: Limiter par exemple tout accès
aux passants ou procéder à une évaluation des risques individuels pour
les soudeurs. Tous les soudeurs doivent appliquer les procédures
suivantes pour minimiser l’exposition aux CEM provenant du circuit de
soudage:
1. Rassembler les câbles en les torsadant ou en les attachant avec
du ruban adhésif ou avec une housse.
2. Ne pas se tenir au milieu des câbles de soudage. Disposer les
OM-273243 Page 8
câbles d’un côté et à distance de l’opérateur.
3. Ne pas courber et ne pas entourer les câbles autour de votre
corps.
4. Maintenir la tête et le torse aussi loin que possible du matériel du
circuit de soudage.
5. Connecter la pince sur la pièce aussi près que possible de la
soudure.
6. Ne pas travailler à proximité d’une source de soudage, ni
s’asseoir ou se pencher dessus.
7. Ne pas souder tout en portant la source de soudage ou le
dévidoir.
En ce qui concerne les implants médicaux :
Les porteurs d’implants doivent d’abord consulter leur médecin avant
de s’approcher des opérations de soudage à l’arc, de soudage par
points, de gougeage, du coupage plasma ou de chauffage par induction. Si le médecin approuve, il est recommandé de suivre les
procédures précédentes.

Ref. 252 426-B
Pressing the Jog/Purge switch allows the operator to jog wire without energizing the weld
power or gas valve circuit.
• The unit provides the ability to jog the wire
feeder by means of the gun trigger or the
Jog/Purge switch.
• If the welding arc does not initiate in 3 seconds after the gun trigger is activated, the
unit will perform a jog operation for a maxi-
mum of two minutes. If the gun trigger is still
activated after two minutes, the jog operation is terminated to prevent complete despooling of the wire, in the case of a damaged
gun.
• The unit displays the “TRIG ERR“ message
to inform the operator that the trigger is activated.
• Jog speed can be adjusted by the Adjust
control when the unit is jogging wire. The
unit displays jog speed when the unit is being jogged.
• Jogging can also be accomplished by
pressing the Jog/Purge button.
• Pressing the Jog/Purge button also allows
the operator to purge gas lines before welding and to preset gas pressure at the
regulator.

6-13. Operational Terms
The following is a list of terms and their definitions as they apply to this wire feeder:
General Terms:
Cold Wire Jog
Feeding wire without contactor or gas valve being energized.
Sequence
A portion of the weld program, such as preflow, run-in, start, weld, crater, burnback, and postflow.
Weld Program
A group of sequences that make up a weld cycle.
MIG
CV weld process with individual settings of voltage and wire feed speed.
Pulsed MIG
CC weld process with factory taught data using peak and background current, pulse width and pulses
per second. Adaptive pulse control methods modulate one or more of the taught data parameters to
regulate or maintain a fixed arc length.
Synergic
Refers to the system’s ability to match the power setting to the set wire feed speed using a single
knob control. In synergic Pulsed MIG, the pulse parameters are automatically increased or decreased
to match the power output to the set wire feed speed.
Non- Synergic
Refers to independent control of wire feed speed and power output. In non−synergic mode, increasing
or decreasing the set wire feed speed requires corresponding adjustment of the arc length or voltage
setting.
STD
Basic trigger function, weld sequence starts when the trigger is pressed and ends when the trigger is
released.
Trigger Hold
Trigger function allowing the operator to weld without continuously pressing the gun trigger. In Trigger
Hold mode, momentarily press the gun trigger until an arc is established, and welding will continue
until the gun trigger is momentarily pressed again.
Spot
Trigger function that automatically shuts the weld off after a set amount of time. The weld will end
when the set time has expired or the trigger has been released, which ever occurs first. The spot time
is reset when the trigger is released.
Arc Length
Refers to physical distance between wire electrode and molten puddle. Term also used to represent
adjustments in the Pulsed MIG weld process.
Dual Schedule
Allows selecting a pair of weld parameter settings that can be used together.
Preflow
The amount of time that the shielding gas will flow after the trigger is pressed and before the welding
arc will be allowed to be active.
Postflow
The amount of time that the shielding gas will flow after the arc has been shut off.
Start
Provides voltage/arc length, wire feed speed and time values for modified arc start.
Profile Pulse
Profile Pulse optimizes aluminum weld bead appearance by producing welds with consistently
spaced ripple patterns, similar to GTAW.

SECTION 8 − PROGRAMMING
8-1. Setup Menu
To enter the SETUP MENU press and release the SETUP button. The SETUP
MENU INDICATOR and the SETUP
BUTTON INDICATOR will illuminate.
Rotate the LEFT ADJUST KNOB to select
different menu items shown in the LEFT
DISPLAY. Rotate the RIGHT ADJUST
KNOB to change menu item values shown
in the RIGHT DISPLAY.
To exit the SETUP MENU press and release the SETUP button.
Items that can be adjusted in this menu are:
Trigger Control (TRIG) − Sets the gun
trigger control. The trigger control can be
configured as (STD, HOLD, or SPOT).
Trigger Hold Delay (HOLD) − Additional
trigger setting only appearing in the menu
when the trigger control is set to (TRIG
HOLD). Trigger hold delay time is the minimum amount of time the trigger must be
held for trigger hold to become active.
There is a built in maximum trigger hold
time which the trigger must be released
within for trigger hold to become active.
The maximum trigger hold time is always
4.0 seconds after the trigger hold delay
time. For Example, if the trigger hold delay
time is set to 2.0 seconds, the trigger must
be held for at least 2.0 seconds and released within 6.0 seconds for trigger hold to
become active. Once the trigger hold function is active, the wire feeder will continue
feeding wire until the trigger is pressed and
released again.
Trigger 4T − Allows the operator to select
between weld parameters and crater parameters using the gun trigger. Crater time
must be set for at least 0.2 seconds to
Notes
OM-273243 Page 22
make this function operational. If gun trigger is released during welding the unit goes
into trigger hold - pressing and holding trigger again will cause the unit to stay in crater
until trigger is released and crater parameter times out.
Trigger Spot Time (SPOT) − Additional
trigger setting only appearing in the menu
when the trigger control is set to (TRIG
SPOT). The SPOT time is the length of
combined time for the start (if applicable)
and the weld sequence. The weld will end
when the set time has expired or the trigger
has been released, whichever occurs first.
The spot time is reset when the trigger is released.
Remote Process Select − For MIG (MIG)
operation, the Left Display always shows
Voltage. For Pulsed MIG (PULS) operation, the Second Level Setup Menu Display
(PULS) option selects whether Voltage
(VOLT) or Arc Length (ARC.L) is shown in
the Left Display.
.A
Remote Process Select capable
power source automatically switches
to the selected weld process when this
option is changed at the wire feeder.
The wire and gas program selections
for each weld process must be set at
the power source.
. When Trigger Schedule Select (see
Section 8-2) is enabled, the Weld Process option can be set independently
for each schedule. This allows the operator to remotely change the weld
process at the wire feeder and power
source with a single tap of the welding
gun trigger.
Preflow (PRE) − The amount of time that
the shielding gas will flow after the trigger
is pressed and before the welding arc will
be allowed to be active. Range of this setting is from (0.0 to 5.0) seconds.
Postflow (POST) − The amount of time
that the shielding gas will flow after the arc
has been shut off. Range of this setting is
from (0.0 to 10.0) seconds.
Run−In Speed (R−IN) − The wire feed
speed prior to the welding arc being struck.
This setting is a percentage of the wire feed
speed the unit is set to for welding. Range
of this setting is from (X0.10 to X0.99 to
OFF). Example: If the weld wire speed is
200 and R−IN is X0.50, the run−in wire
speed is 100.
Burnback (B.BAK) − Burnback sets a

8-7. Profile Pulse
Profile Pulse optimizes Aluminum weld
bead appearance by producing welds with
consistently spaced ripple patterns, similar
to GTAW. This feature has been designed
to operate in a Synergic Pulsed MIG system. The consistent ripple pattern is
achieved by periodically changing both the
wire feed speed and power level. The average wire feed speed is determined by the
value the unit is set to for welding.
. By default, Profile Pulse parameters
are hidden from the Setup Menu. To
view the parameters, the (PROF) setting in the Setup Menu Level 2 must be
set to (YES). See section 8-2.
Profile Pulse Items that can be adjusted in
the Setup Menu are:
Profile Pulse ON/OFF (PROF) − Allows
Profile Pulse to be turned on or off.
Profile Pulse Frequency (P.FRQ) − Sets
the spacing between ripples in the weld
bead. Range of this setting is from (0.1 to
5.0) pulses per second. See Figures 1 and
2 below.
Profile Pulse Wire Feed Speed Change
(P.WFS) − Sets the percentage of change
above and below the wire feed speed the

feed speed is 200 and (P.WFS) is set to
(X0.10), the wire feed speed will alternate
between 180 and 220 ipm.
Profile Pulse Arc Length (P.AL) − Sets an
arc length correction factor for the lower
wire feed speed. This setting is a percentage of the arc length the unit is set to for
welding. Range of this setting is from (X0.5
to X1.5). Example: If the arc length for welding is set to 50 and (P.AL) is set to (X1.1),
the arc length setting for the lower wire feed
speed is 55.

In the event of a warranty claim covered by this warranty, the

reimbursement for transportation costs of any kind will be allowed.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE REMEDIES
PROVIDED HEREIN ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDIES. IN NO EVENT SHALL MILLER BE LIABLE FOR

Some states in the U.S.A. do not allow limitations of how long an
implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion of incidental, indirect,
special or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty provides specific
legal rights, and other rights may be available, but may vary from
state to state.
In Canada, legislation in some provinces provides for certain
additional warranties or remedies other than as stated herein, and to
the extent that they may not be waived, the limitations and
exclusions set out above may not apply. This Limited Warranty
provides specific legal rights, and other rights may be available, but
may vary from province to province.
