Activ8X® Pipe™ OPERATION STEEL AND STAINLESS SYNERGIC GMAW-P (PULSED MIG) WELDING Synergic GMAW-P (Pulsed MIG) welding is ideal for low spatter, out of position and reduced heat input applications. During pulse welding, the welding current continuously switches from a low level to a high level and then back again. Each pulse sends a small droplet of molten metal from the wire to the weld puddle. - Page 19 The display continues to hold the value of the amperage display shows the preset voltage or trim when it is connected to a power source that supports the Activ8X Pipe and CrossLinc or WFS and arc voltage for five seconds after the communication has been established (see figure B.1).
