The following is a quotation from the General Conclusions Section
of the U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Biological
Effects of Power Frequency Electric & Magnetic Fields −
Background Paper, OTA-BP-E-53 (Washington, DC: U.S.
Government Printing Office, May 1989): “. . . there is now a very
large volume of scientific findings based on experiments at the
cellular level and from studies with animals and people which clearly
establish that low frequency magnetic fields can interact with, and
produce changes in, biological systems. While most of this work is
of very high quality, the results are complex. Current scientific
understanding does not yet allow us to interpret the evidence in a
single coherent framework. Even more frustrating, it does not yet
allow us to draw definite conclusions about questions of possible
risk or t o o f fer clear science-based advice on strategies to minimize
or avoid potential risks.”
Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency Electric And
Magnetic Fields
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following
procedures:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around the body.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away as
practical.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible.
About Pacemakers:
The above procedures are among those also normally
recommended for pacemaker wearers. Consult your doctor for
complete information.
• Turn Off robot, welding power source, and interface unit, and disconnect input power before inspecting or installing.

SECTION 3 − OPERATIONAL TERMS
The following is a list of terms and their definitions as they apply to this interface unit:
General Terms:
Adaptive Pulse WeldingWhen the “adaptive pulse” welding process is selected, the unit will automati-
cally regulate pulse frequency in order to maintain a constant arc length, regardless of change in welding wire stickout.
Abk (Background
Amperage)
Apk (Peak Amperage)Apk is the high pulse of welding current. Peak current melts the welding wire
InductanceIn short circuit GMAW welding, an increase in inductance will decrease the
PPS (Pulses Per Second)PPS, pulse rate, and frequency (Hz) are used interchangeably. A PPS or pulse
PWms (Pulse Width in
Milliseconds)
SynergicSynergic refers to the unit’s ability to use preprogrammed pulse parameters to

Abk is the low weld current. Background current preheats welding wire and
maintains the arc. When background current is too low, the arc is unstable and
hard to maintain.
and forms a droplet. The droplet is forced into the weld puddle.
number of short circuit metal transfers per second (provided no other changes
are made) and increase the arc-on time. The increased arc-on time makes the
pool more fluid.
rate of 60 Hz means 60 pulses of current are produced each second.
PWms is the time spent at peak current (1.2 ms is .0012 seconds). This time
must be long enough to form a droplet of welding wire. The stiffness or fluidity
of the molten weld puddle is controlled by PWms.
determine the actual pulse settings of Peak Amperage, Background Amperage,
Pulse Frequency and Pulse Width at any specific wire feed speed setting.
trim increases the actual arc length. Likewise, decreasing trim shortens arc
length. Trim is replaced by volts in MIG programs.
Pulse Panel Terms:
Card ModeIs used to select use of the optional data card storage and retrieval capabilities.
Process ModeIs used to select the type of process to be used, including Pulse, Adaptive
Pulse, or Mig.
Setup Screen Terms:
Access CodeNOTE: The optional Data Card is required to activate this feature. With code
off, access to the setup displays is not restricted. With code on, the operator
must know and enter the access code to access or change any of the setup
displays.
To use code, press Parameter Select button to enter access code. When the
correct letter is entered, the indicator automatically moves to the next character.
When the final access code letter is entered, the display automatically changes
to the initial setup display.
Arc StartNOTE: Do not use the Hot Start setting for .035 in (9 mm) or smaller wire. Use
the Hot Start mode for pulse welding with 450 Ampere Inverter Model when
high initial weld current is necessary to start large diameter welding wires.
When in Hot Start, the 450 Ampere Inverter Model starts the arc in the CV
mode and switches to CC once the arc is started. Do not use Hot Start unless
using 450 Ampere Inverter Model
Arc TimeAllows actual arc time up to 9,999.99 hours and weld cycles up to 999,999 to
be accumulated and displayed on the digital display, and can be reset to zero
as required.

Mig Type (Voltage
Correction)
With DVC Voltage Correction On, the unit uses closed-loop feedback from the
17-pin cord or voltage sensing leads to maintain set voltage parameters. With
DVC Voltage Correction Off, feedback from the arc is not used for closed-loop
feedback to maintain voltage parameters. Feedback from the arc is still used for
other functions.
Be sure voltage sensing leads are connected or voltage feedback is available
through the 17-pin receptacle via the welding power source.
Name FeatureWhen using the optional Data Card and turning the name feature on, programs
written to the card can be identified by name, number, job number, etc.
Program ResetBy selecting program reset in the memory reset mode, the unit defaults to origi-
nal factory program settings for the program last active. All other program and
setup information remains the same.
RangeThe interface requires that the voltage and amperage range of the welding
power source be entered. Obtain this information from the welding power
source Owner’s Manual.
SecurityNOTE: The optional Data Card is required to activate this feature. Is used to
limit what the operator can control. This includes accessing the number of the
program, 1 through 8, and the range of welding parameters within the program.
Software ScreenSelection of this function will display the software version of the unit. When talk-
ing with factory service personnel, this number may be required.
System ResetBy selecting system reset in the memory reset mode, the unit defaults to origi-
nal factory settings for all programs and all set up excluding System, Arc Time,
and Model Type.
Voltage (Control Feedback)Allows voltage to be monitored at the output terminals by two methods. This
can be selected through the 17-pin cord connection if the welding power source
has a 17-pin receptacle, or through the unit’s external voltage sense lead.
If the 17 Pin setting is used, it is recommended that the voltage sensing terminals on the welding power source be used to monitor arc voltage at the workpiece.
When using the V. Sense setting, arc voltage feedback is through the voltage
sense leads connected to the feeder. Use this setting when there is more than
50 ft (15 m) of weld cable used.
Arc Start/Volt Sense
Shutdown
When this feature is on, the system immediately shuts down if no arc voltage is
sensed. An error message is displayed. When this feature is off, wire feeds
even when there is no arc voltage sensed.
Wire Feed ModeAllows the selection of inches per minute or meters per minute for wire feed
speed. This mode is also used to select motor type; standard speed, low
speed, or high speed. High speed motor is available as factory option.

Amps (Current)
241
Time
The interface, not the welding power source, controls weld output for
pulsed welds.
1 ApK − Peak Current Of
100-565 Amperes
ApK is the high pulse of welding
current. Peak current melts the
welding wire and forms a droplet.
The droplet is forced into the weld
puddle.
2 AbK − Background Current
Of 10-200 Amperes
AbK is the low weld current. Background current preheats welding
wire and maintains the arc. When
background current is too low, the
arc is unstable and hard to
maintain.
3 PPS − Pulses Per Second Of
20-400
PPS, pulse rate, and frequency
(Hz) are used interchangeably. A
PPS or pulse rate of 60 Hz means
60 pulses of current are produced
each second.
4 PWms − Pulse Width Of
1.0-5.0 Milliseconds
PWms is the time spent at peak
current (1.2 ms is .0012 seconds).
This time must be long enough to
form a droplet of welding wire. The
stiffness or fluidity of the molten
weld puddle is controlled by
PWms.
OM-169 571 Page 16
Ref. S-0259
Figure 6-1. Pulse Waveforms And Explanation Of Terms
The teach mode allows the user to create
custom pulse MIG welding programs. The
teach mode has 15 teach points. At each
teach point, the user can adjust four parameters: peak amperage (ApK), background
amperage (AbK), pulses per second (PPS),
and pulse width in milliseconds (PWms) to
shape the pulse waveform of the weld
output.
Wire feed speed teach points can range
from the minimum to the maximum wire feed
speed of the feeder . When using a standard
speed motor, wire feed speed teach points
typically range from 50 to 750 ipm. The feeder uses pulse parameters at teach points to
establish the pulse parameters at any wire
feed speed setting.
Below the wire feed speed of the lowest
Figure 6-2. Typical Teach Point Settings And Resulting Synergic Setting
teach point, and above the wire feed speed
of the highest teach point, the unit may limit
wire feed speed settings in pulse MIG to
maintain all pulse parameters within the
capability of the unit.
Pulse MIG programs made by the manufacturer have pulse waveform information entered for all 15 teach points. The operator
can relocate and modify the setting of one, or
any number of the 15 teach points if the factory set information is not appropriate for a
specific application.
After the parameters for each teach point are
established, an arc must be struck and maintained for at least 5 seconds in teach mode.
This allows the wire feeder to learn the arc
voltage length associated with the taught
pulse parameters. To ensure a proper arc
length reading, electrode stick-out must be
carefully maintained.
The taught arc length represents a Trim (arc
length) setting of 50. Increasing the value of
Trim, increases the actual arc length. Likewise, decreasing the value of Trim will
decrease actual arc length.
In the Pulse mode, the unit does not maintain a constant arc length with variations in
electrode stick-out. In the Adaptive Pulse
mode, the unit adjusts pulse frequency to
maintain a constant arc length regardless of
variations in electrode stick-out.
Proceed to next section to teach a pulse MIG
program.

When using the 17 Pin setting, arc
voltage feedback is through the
welding power source and the
feedback signal is sent through the
17-pin cord to the feeder.
If the 17 Pin setting is used, it is recommended that the voltage sensing terminals on the welding power
source be used to monitor arc voltage at the workpiece.
When using the V. Sense setting,
arc voltage feedback is through the
voltage sense leads connected to
the interface. Use this setting when
there is more than 50 ft (15 m) of

When this feature is on and a range
of deviation is set (±0.1 − 9.9 volts
from desired weld voltage), arc
voltage or arc length variations ou t side of the range for a period of

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
