or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is
electrically live whenever the output is on. The input
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

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.
D If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
D Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)
and the manufacturer’s instructions for metals, consumables,
coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.
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 op-
erations. 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 fil-
ter lenses to protect your face and eyes 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 protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant mate-
rial (leather, heavy cotton, or wool) and foot protection.
WELDING can cause fire or explosion.
D Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.
D Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at
contact tip when not in use.
D Wear oil-free protective garments 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 by-
pass 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.
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 shielding gas supply when not in use.
D Always ventilate confined spaces or use
approved air-supplied respirator.
MAGNETIC FIELDS 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.
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
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.

1-6.EMF Information
Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency
Electric And Magnetic Fields
Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electromagnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such
fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17
years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National
Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the
committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to powerfrequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.”
However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be
examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you
may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when
welding or cutting.
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following
procedures:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a
cable cover.
2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from operator as practical.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as possible.
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.

2-6.Information EMF
Considérations sur le soudage et les effets de basse fréquence et des
champs magnétiques et électriques.
Le courant de soudage, pendant son passage dans les câbles de soudage, causera des champs électromagnétiques. Il y a eu et il y a encore
un certain souci à propos de tels champs. Cependant, après avoir examiné plus de 500 études qui ont été faites pendant une période de
recherche de 17 ans, un comité spécial ruban bleu du National
Research Council a conclu : « L’accumulation de preuves, suivant le
jugement du comité, n’a pas démontré que l’exposition aux champs
magnétiques et champs électriques à haute fréquence représente un
risque à la santé humaine ». Toutefois, des études sont toujours en
cours et les preuves continuent à être examinées. En attendant que les
conclusions finales de la recherche soient établies, il vous serait
souhaitable de réduire votre exposition aux champs électromagnétiques pendant le soudage ou le coupage.
Pour réduire les champs magnétiques sur le poste de travail, appliquer
les procédures suivantes :

the weld display mode is activated.
If zero time is programmed for a timed se-
quence except for Weld, that sequence will
be skipped.
• In the weld sequence display mode, the Se-
quence push button LED is Off. When the
Sequence push button is pressed, the Sequence push button flashes and the Start
LEDs flash. In this condition, the unit is in the
Start sequence display mode, and Start sequence parameters are displayed (see Section 7-1).
• When the Sequence push button is pressed
a second time, the Crater sequence LED
flashes. The Sequence push button LED remains flashing. In this condition, the unit is
in the Crater sequence display mode, and
Crater sequence parameters are displayed.
a third time, the Preflow/Postflow sequence
LED flashes. The Sequence push button
LED remains flashing. In the Preflow display
mode the upper display shows the preflow
time and the lower display indicates the abbreviation PRE, to inform the operator that
preflow time is displayed. If the upper display push button is pressed, the Adjust control can be used to adjust preflow.
• If the lower display push button is pressed,
the Adjust control can be used to select between preflow (PRE) and postflow (POST).
When POST is selected, the upper display
can be used to specify postflow time.
• When the Sequence push button is pressed
a fourth time, the unit returns to the welding
sequence display mode.
A reset menu is displayed if the following
four push buttons are pressed simultaneously: Program, Sequence, upper display, and Setup. The upper display indicates “WIPE” . The lower display indicates
“OFF”. The lower push button is active indicating that the Adjust control can be used to
change the unit to “WIPE ON”. When “WIPE
ON” is set, if the original four push buttons
are simultaneously pressed a second time,
the unit will reset all settings to factory default except the arc time and arc cycle
counts. If a reset is not desired, set the display to “WIPE OFF” and simultaneously
press the Program, Sequence, upper display, and Setup push buttons to exit the reset menu.
Auxiliary Menu
• An auxiliary menu is provided if both the
Sequence and Setup push buttons are
pressed simultaneously. The Setup push
button and sequence push button LEDS
flash when the auxiliary menu is displayed.
Pushing the Setup push button will step
through the menu. Pushing the sequence
push button will step through the menu in reverse.
. The auxiliary menu may be exited at
any time by pressing both the Sequence and Setup push buttons simultaneously.
Run-In
• The run-in modes are program specific
(i.e. each program may be set to its own
run-in mode).
Wire SpeedAmps
Trigger Hold
Dual Schedule

The upper display indicates “RUNI”. The
lower display indicates “AUTO”, meaning
the factory set automatic run-in speed is
selected.
Pressing the lower display button allows
manual setting of the run-in wire speed.
Speed may be adjusted from 10% to
100% of weld wire speed.
Pressing the lower display button again
allows disabling of the run-in feature.
When the lower display indicates “OFF”,
run-in is disabled.
Burnback
Burnback time and voltage can be specified
when the lower display indicates “BURN”
and the upper display indicates the burnback time or voltage. The Adjust control is
used to set the desired burnback time or
voltage. Burnback settings are program
specific. The active program is displayed in
the Program display and can be adjusted
(see Section 6-6).
Trigger Hold Setup
Trigger hold delay time is indicated by
”HOLD” in the lower display and the hold
delay time in the upper display. The adjust
control can be used to specify a new delay
time for trigger hold. Trigger hold delay time
is the minimum amount of time the trigger
must be held for trigger hold to work when
the trigger is released (the trigger hold function must be on). For example, if a trigger
hold delay time of 2.0 seconds is defined,
the operator must hold the trigger for at least
2 seconds before releasing it in order for the
trigger hold function to work. Once the trigger hold function is in effect, the wire feeder
will stay On until the trigger is pressed and
released again.

9
• There is an additional function built in
called ”maximum trigger hold time” which
is the maximum length of time the trigger
can be held and the trigger hold function
still work when the trigger is released (the
trigger hold function must be on). The
maximum trigger hold time is set at 4.0
seconds after the trigger hold delay time.
For example, if a trigger hold delay time of
2.0 seconds is defined, and the operator
held the trigger in for more than 6.0 seconds, the trigger hold function would not
be in effect and the wire feeder would stop
when the trigger is released.
Trigger Program Select
The upper display shows “TSEL”. Lower
display shows “On” or “Off”. The Adjust control is used to select either “On” or “Off”.
Trigger Program Select allows the operator
to select programs by clicking the trigger
(pulling and releasing the trigger in a maximum of 0.2 seconds). The feeder will switch
between any programs that have a minimum of 0.2 seconds of preflow time set in
the weld sequence.
• Any combination of programs may be
used.
• If only programs 1 and 3 have a minimum
of 0.2 seconds of preflow time, clicking
the trigger will toggle between programs
1 and 3.
• If only programs 1, 2, and 4 have a mini-
mum of 0.2 seconds of preflow time, clicking the trigger will switch from 1 to 2 to 4
to 1 to 2.
• Trigger Program Select cannot be used
while welding or with Dual Schedule.

Range Locks
Range locks are indicated by “LOCK” in the
upper display for wire speed or “LOCK” in
the lower display for voltage range.
In a MIG program, the voltage range lock
ranges from +/− 0 to 10 volts.
In a pulse program, the trim range lock
ranges from +/− 0 to 100.
The wire speed range lock ranges from +/−
0 to 195 IPM.
Locks are program dependent and wire
speed locks are independent from voltage/
trim command locks (i.e. you can have a
wire speed lock with or without locking the
voltage/trim command and vice versa).
Press the Upper Display Pushbutton to select Voltage/Trim Command Range Locks.
Press the Lower Display Pushbutton to select Wire Speed Range Locks.
To set a Voltage/Trim Command Range
Lock, you must choose the type of command being locked, voltage or trim based
on the type of weld process selected at the
power source. This is done by repeatedly
pressing the Upper Display Pushbutton to
cycle between OFF, T (trim) or V (voltage),
as indicated on the Upper Display.
Use the adjust knob to set the range value.
Once any program has a lock enabled, the
remaining programs with all locks “OFF”
will not be accessible. To enable additional
programs, set the lock values for one or
more Voltage/Trim Command or Wire
Speed to appropriate ranges for each program.
Only one of the values needs to be set to
enable the program. For example, setting a
Trim of 100 and leaving the Wire Speed at
OFF will allow the welder to adjust the Wire
Speed to full range
Wire Feed Speed Units
Wire feed speed setting indicated by “WFS”
in the upper display is set to “IPM” inches−
per−minute or ”MPM” meters−per−minute.
This setting is independent of the program
selected.
Software Revision Level
• The unit displays the software version
being used by the interface PCB (PC20).
• When the Setup button is pressed again,
the menu repeats.
Code
Upon leaving the auxiliary menu, the user is
asked if a password code, indicated by
“CODE” in the top display should be activated.
By default the code is “OFF” in the lower
display. The user may enter a numerical
password between 0 and 999 by turning the
Adjust control.
If a code is set, when the user re-enters the
auxiliary menu, the password code must be
selected to gain access to the auxiliary
menu. Press Setup and Sequence buttons
simultaneously to enter the auxillary menu.
A failed attempt returns the user to the weld
screen and a counter is incremented. A
counter in the program display shows the
number of incorrect attempts. The user has
five attempts to enter the correct password
code before being locked out of the auxiliary menu, indicated by “LOCK” in the lower
display.
The power may be cycled to continue welding, but the user will remained locked out of
the auxiliary menu.
The counter can be reset in the weld screen
by pressing the Program, Sequence, upper
display, and Set-up push buttons simultaneously. Resetting the counter is indicated
by “CODE” in the upper display and “RSET”
in the lower display. Pressing the Program,
Sequence, upper display, and Set-up push
buttons simultaneously again resets the
counter to 0.
To reset the password, follow the directions
under Reset To Factory Settings at the beginning of this section. Note: this will reset
all settings and programs to the factory defaults.

6-13. Remote-14 Receptacle Information
1 Remote Switch
2 Remote-14 Receptacle
If the remote switch is set to MIG,
the feeder operates normally. A remote control may be left attached
while the remote switch is in the
MIG mode, as the remote has no affect on the operation of the wire
feeder.
If the remote switch is set to Stick/
TIG, the feeder controls and meter
displays are disabled, allowing control from a standard remote control.
When a remote control is connected to the remote-14 receptacle,
the PipePro 450 RFC will automatically adjust output control in a primary/secondary configuration, but
the power source must be set for
remote operation (see the PipePro
450 RFC Owner’s Manual for information).
In this configuration, the Amp Adjust control on the PipePro 450 RFC
power source becomes the primary, and sets the maximum amperage output of the unit. The remote
control becomes the secondary,
and provides an amperage range
adjustment of 0 to 100% of what is
set on the Amp Adjust control on the
power source.

. When in Stick/Tig mode, re-
mote program select is still
functional from the feeder.
!Do not connect a Stick elec-
trode holder and a MIG gun
to the same output terminal
at the same time, as both
will be live when the contactor is on. An external polarity reversing isolation control should be used to isolate the outputs.

LED3, 4 turn Off unit, remove wrapper, and
turn unit On.
The LED blinks in a 2.5 second cycle. The
number of blinks in this period indicates the
type of error.
The priority of the errors is related to the number of blinks indicating the error. The more
blinks, the more severe the error (motor error
is top priority). A higher priority error overrides
a lower one (if a motor error and a communication error existed, the light would blink four
times for the motor error).
Since blink On time and blink Off time are
equal in a four-blink cycle, the four−blink se-
quence appears as a constant blink.
