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 bu

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill. Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use. Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays Always ventilate confined spaces or use that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the approved air-supplied respirator. weld.

SECTION 5 − OPERATION 5-1. Operational Terms The following is a list of terms and their definitions as they apply to the interface unit in the wire feeder: General Terms: Arc Adjust Term used to represent arc length adjustments in pulse programs. Increasing Arc Adjust increases the actual arc length. Likewise, decreasing arc adjust shortens arc length. Arc Adjust is replaced by volts in MIG programs. Trigger Control Selecting Trigger Control allows activating trigger functions such as DS, TH, 4

General Terms: Sequence Selecting Sequence will allow setting of preflow, start, crater, and postflow times and parameters. Preflow Setting a time value for gas flow prior to arc start. Start Provides voltage/arc adjust, wire feed rate, and time value for modified arc starts (which is only adjustable with the optional PDA with File Management/WaveWriter software). Crater Allows setting of voltage/arc adjust, wire feed rate, and time value for arc ends. Postflow Setting a time value for gas flow
