PRODUCT SERIES/ MODEL: Mig 5XL Feeder Pulse Control Module (Model- EC-05V-02)
SERIAL NO: SN - 0463.11.02 and greater
SUMMARY: The Mig 5XL Pulse control Control Module has been upgraded with two LED calibration
lamps to simplify the synchronization of the control module and gun. The use of the
LED’s eliminates the strobe light synchronization method. This control does not differ
functionally from the older models except for the addition of the LED’s. Follow the
instruction below to use the LED calibration method.
OPERATIONAL IMPACT: None
ACTION: Synchronization Instructions using LED’s
1. Set-Up the gun and feeder with the proper guides and springs for the wire type and .035 or
3/64” diameter.
2. Thread the wire through the feeder, gun, goose neck and install the contact tip. Move the
tension nut on the gun back to apply feed roll tension to the wire.
3. Important
4. Depress the gun trigger and feed wire.

5. While wire is feeding, adjust the “Synchronization “ pot
figures) until BOTH LED’s are colored ORANGE. Note - Be sure the lamps have the same
shade of orange. Small differences in color shades mean the calibration is not optimized.
The synchronization, once completed, is then optimized for both 4000 and 5000 aluminum
alloys and wire diameters of .035, 3/64 and 1/16”.
