Pro Pulse 220 MTS Specifications Maximum Output Amperage 200 (220 for 10 seconds) MIG: 12 Minimum Output Amperage TIG & Stick: 4 Maximum Recommended Thickness *Single pass capacity varies depending on the material 1/4” to 3/8” being welded and the setting of the machine.
Of course, since you will encounter atypical situations, especially during repairs on used or dirty material, the Pro Pulse 220 MTS gives you the option to adjust the weld either colder or hotter by reducing or increasing the voltage.

IPM typically alleviates the issues. We also noticed that video cameras or security cameras within close proximity to the Pro Pulse 220 MTS, when welding in a pulse program, show the interference in the recorded picture. Although the spray arc itself is almost silent (just a slight hiss), the sound of the pulse is well noticeable. It sounds, at times, much like an AC TIG welder.

Pro Pulse 220 MTS to accept push/pull systems. HTP offers an 18’ air-cooled push/pull gun, with remote control capabilities, that plugs directly into the front of your Pro Pulse 220 MTS. And because we have quality in mind on everything we do, our push/pull system is like the rest of our products...nothing short of excellent.
Front Panel Controls Fig. 2 A (Select Mode Button)—Allows you to access different welding modes by repeatedly pressing. B, C, D, E (Setup and Selection Buttons)—The function of these buttons differs depending on which mode the machine is in and what setup screen the machine is on. The function of the individual button is shown in the display right above each button.

If you choose not to preheat the part(s) that you are welding, for whatever reason, there is a hot start function built into the Pro Pulse 220 MTS that will reduce the effects of starting an aluminum MIG weld on a cold part.

There is no way to override this function. The Pro Pulse 220 MTS is a machine in the 200 amp class; it is designed for welding operations up to 200 amps. The Pro Pulse 220 MTS has the capability to run up to 220 amps for up to 10 seconds (this will take effect in some aluminum hot start functions and in situations where the operator holds a too tight arc length (too close stick out).

HTP 15 Series MIG Welding Gun The smallest of the guns. Excellent for reaching into tight spaces (e.g., work on cars). Also, lightweight for less operator fatigue. Best for use on steel (non-pulse). Not suitable for pulse welding steel, and limited potential for pulse welding silicon bronze in the collision repair industry.

HTP 24 Series MIG Welding Gun Slightly larger than the 15 Series MIG Welding Gun. Still lightweight and fits into most small spaces. For pulse welding, we recommend a maximum gun length of 10’. Although we also sell the gun in 12’ and 15’ lengths, only the 10’...

HTP 26 Series MIG Welding Gun Noticeably larger than the 24 Series MIG Welding Gun with a thicker torch cable (the thicker torch cable helps the operator keep the gun straight, which is especially important when welding aluminum). Comes in an 8’ length with M8 size long-life tips.

Likewise, if you weld at 100 amps and set arc force to 200%, the amperage can increase, under certain conditions, up to 300 amps (theoretically, since the maximum output of 200 amps on the Pro Pulse 220 MTS poses a limiting factor). At a 200% setting, drops in arc voltage will cause the amperage to climb faster than it would if set at 50% arc force.
