We know you don’t have time to do it any other way. That’s why when Niels Miller first started building arc welders in 1929, he made sure his products offered long-lasting value and superior quality.

SECTION 6 − OPERATION 6-1. Operational Terms The following is a list of terms and their definitions as they apply to the interface unit in the wire feeder: General Terms: AccuCurve CV Pulse process using a pulse waveform with modified curves at particular locations within the wa- veform.
General Terms: Time Indicates time values being set for timed functions (e.g. Preflow, Postflow which are only available in the Arc On and Analog input or the Arc On and No Analog input modes). TPS (Trigger Program Schedule) TPS allows the operator to select weld programs by using the gun trigger. In TPS mode, momentarily pressing the gun trigger allows the operator to cycle through preselected weld programs up to a total of 8 programs.

A. Emergency Stop Error Indicates an emergency stop error. Receptacle RC5-1 connects to receptacle RC1-4 and receptacle RC5-2 connects to receptacle RC4-2 on E-Stop board PC12. A closure between RC4-1 and RC4-2 allows +24 volts DC to be supplied to the four relays on E-Stop board PC12. In an E-Stop situation (relays open), all four relays on the E-Stop board de-energize and cut power to the control boards.
Page 34
G. Arc Start Error Indicates the contactor either is or was active, but the system failed to start an arc. Conditions for a valid arc start are at least 50% of arc start current, voltage less than 60 volts, and voltage greater than min. valid arc voltage (default is 22.5 volts).
Page 35
K. Motor Communications Error The motor board has lost communication with the PCM board PC4. Check cabling and cable routing for boom system motor cable and secondary cables. Separate cable as much as possible. Check if WFM board PC6 code is installed and if microprocessor is running. Check LED3 and LED4 on WFM board PC6. Depending on the wire feed speed, check for 0-40 volts DC on J17-3 to J17-1.
Page 36
M. Over Current Error Indicates one or more of the inverter engines has latched with an over-current. Signal is sent from engine module(s) (RC6, Pin 11, on inverter control board PC1) to process control module PC4 (J2, Pin 6). The over-current circuit monitors the inverter high frequency transformer primary current. Normal welding will never trip this circuit, only a fault will cause an over-current condition.
Page 37
S. Stuck Error Indicates a wire stuck error. Press Jog/Purge button to clear error. This error occurs if the welding wire sticks to the workpiece at the end of a weld. This fault may be caused by poor welding conditions. Cut the welding wire from the workpiece. STUK T.
