NOTICE − INCORRECT INPUT POWER can damage this welding power source. This welding power source requires a CONTINUOUS supply of
input power at rated frequency(+10%) and voltage (+10%). Phase to ground voltage shall not exceed +10% of rated input voltage. Do not use a genera-
tor with automatic idle device (that idles engine when no load is sensed) to supply input power to this welding power source.
NOTICE − Actual input voltage should not be 10% less than minimum and/or 10% more than maximum input voltages listed in table. If actual input
voltage is outside this range, output may not be be available.
Failure to follow these electrical service guide recommendations could create an electric shock or fire hazard. These
recommendations are for a dedicated circuit sized for the rated output and duty cycle of the welding power source.
In dedicated circuit installations, the National Electrical Code (NEC) allows the receptacle or conductor rating to be less than the rating
of the circuit protection device. All components of the circuit must be physically compatible. See NEC articles 210.21, 630.11, and

General Terms:
98/2 Ox Gas mixture of 98% Argon and 2% O2.
Amps Indicates average amperage while welding and holds the value for 10 seconds at end of weld.
Arc Control The adjustment of arc cone width and arc characteristics in the RMD and Pulse processes. Increasing Arc
Control value increases the arc cone width and subsequently effects the arc length (end of electrode to
workpiece). See Section 6-9 items 1 and 4 for adjusting Arc Control value.
Arc Length Distance from end of wire electrode to workpiece. This term is also used to represent arc length adjustments in
RMD and Pulse processes. Increasing Arc Length increases the actual arc length; likewise, decreasing Arc
Length shortens actual arc length. See Section 6-9 items 2 and 3 for adjusting arc length value.
C2 Gas mixture of 98% Argon and 2% CO2.
C20 Gas mixture of mainly Argon and 20% CO2.
C20-C25 Gas mixture of mainly Argon and 25% CO2.
C8-C15 Gas mixture of mainly Argon and 8-15% CO2.
Dig Adjustable setting for stick welding. Increasing the value provides additional amperage during low voltage (short
arc length) conditions while welding. Helps avoid “sticking” the electrodes or snubbing out the arc when a short
arc length is used.
Dual Schedule A two position switch which attaches to (or incorporated in) the gun handle that can be used to change weld
parameters during the MIG welding processes. The gun trigger operates as a standard trigger. Dual Schedule is
always activated. See Section 6-2 item F 8 for setup procedure.
EXX10 Stick welding electrode type. EXXX1 or EXXX2 are typically used on this setting (cellulosic electrode).
EXX18 Stick welding electrode type. EXXX3 through EXXX8, or stainless are typically used on this setting (low
hydrogen type electrode).
FCAW (Flux Cored Arc Flux cored arc welding is a continuous electrode that is fed into the arc and depends on shielding gas from
Welding) either an external source or is generated from the decomposition of gas forming ingredients contained in the
electrode’s core. Only dual shielded wire is recommended for the PipeWorx 400. A gas mixture or wire diameter
selection is not required. See wire manufacturer for the recommended gas mixture. The 0.9 to 1.6 mm wire
sizes can be used in the process.
Gas Type Selection of shielding gas being used in an application: C8-C15 (Argon/8-15% CO2), C20 (Argon/20% CO2),
C25 (Argon/25% CO2), 100% CO2, C2 (Argon/2% CO2), 98/2 Ox (Argon/2% O2), CO2 (100% CO2).
HF TIG starting method. High frequency turns on to help start the arc when output is enabled. High frequency turns
off when arc is started and turns on whenever the arc is broken to help restart the arc. HF start is used for
GTAW process when a non-contact arc start method is required.
Hot Start Adjustable setting for stick welding. Allows for adjustment of the output amperage at the start of a stick weld,
should the start require it. This helps eliminate sticking of the electrode at are start. Increasing the value
increases the start amperage. Decreasing the value, decreases the start amperage.
Inductance Control Allows setting inductance in MIG and FCAW. In short circuit GMAW welding, an increase in inductance will
decrease the number of short circuit transfers per second (provided no other changes are made) and increase
the arc-on time. The increased arc-on time makes the welding puddle more fluid. See Section 6-9 items 1 and 4
for adjusting Inductance Control value.
Jog Method for feeding wire without contactor or gas valve being energized (see Section 6-9, item 9).
Lift-Arc TIG starting method. Touch tungsten electrode to workpiece at weld start point and enable output and shielding
gas with torch trigger, foot control, or hand control (if a control is desired). Hold electrode to workpiece for one to
two seconds, and slowly lift electrode to form the arc. Lift-Arc is used for the GTAW process when HF Start
method is not permitted.
MIG (GMAW) Also referred to as solid wire welding. An arc welding process which joins metals by heating them with an arc.
The arc is between a continuously fed filler metal (consumable) electrode and the workpiece. Externally
supplied gas or gas mixtures provide shielding.
Postflow The time that the shielding gas continues to flow after the arc has been terminated.
Preflow The time that the shielding gas flows prior to arc initiation.
Process A selection made for MIG, Pulse, RMD, Stick, Flux Core (FCAW), or TIG (Lift-Arc or HF starts).
Memory Location Buttons By selecting a process such as STICK, TIG, MIG LEFT side of feeder, or MIG right side of feeder there will be
1-4 four Memory Locations available for selection providing a total of 16 Memory Locations for a dual feeder. There
will only be 12 Memory Locations available for a single feeder.
Pulse An advanced pulse spray transfer process suited for the fill and cap passes on pipe. The Pulse process utilizes
(Pro-Pulset) constant current ramps with constant voltage control of peaks and backgrounds. Adaptive response is
controlled by peak and minimum current levels. Benefits are shorter arc lengths, better puddle control, more
tolerance of tip-to-work variation, less audible noise, no arc wandering, allows weld to fill in at toes increasing
travel speed and deposition, and more tolerant to poor fit up and gaps. Settings for Pulse include Arc Length,
Wire Speed and Arc Control.
Purge Method for energizing the gas valve(s) to purge gas lines before welding and to preset gas pressure at the
regulator (see Section 6-9, 11).
RMD RMD stands for Regulated Metal Deposition, a precisely controlled short-circuit transfer process. Benefits of
RMD are well suited to root pass welding on pipe, improves gap filling and spatter reduction. Provides less heat
input into the workpiece, minimizes distortion and allows use of larger diameter wire on thin gauge materials.
Settings for RMD include Arc Length, Wire Speed and Arc Control.
Stick (SMAW) Stick (SMAW) welding uses a flux covered consumable electrode that produces a shielding gas and slag to
shield the arc and molten weld puddle.
Synergic Synergic refers to the unit’s ability to use preprogrammed parameters to determine the actual pulse settings of
Peak Amperage, Background Amperage, Pulse Frequency, and Pulse Width at any specific wire feed speed
setting. This is a characteristic used in RMD and Pulse processes.
TIG (GTAW) TIG (GTAW) welding uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode and shielding gas to produce a strong, clean,
high quality weld.
Trigger Hold This feature reduces welder fatigue by allowing continuous welding without holding the trigger. See Section 6-9
item 10 to set up the Trigger Hold feature.
Trigger Select This feature allows the operator to select MIG processes in Memory Locations 1-4 by pressing the gun trigger.
See Section 6-2 item F 6 to set up the Trigger Select feature.
Trim See Arc Length description.
Volts Preset voltage in MIG mode at idle, actual voltage while welding, and 10 seconds hold value at end of weld.
Wire Diameter Selection of wire diameter for MIG RMD and Pulse processes. The 0.9, 1.0 or 1.2 wire size must be selected for
MIG RMD and Pulse processes. The 0.9 to 1.6 wire sizes can be used with FCAW, but a wire selection is not
required.
Wire Type Selection of wire type (carbon, metal core or stainless).
WFS Term used to represent wire feed speed. In MIG mode, wire feed setting is independent of voltage setting. In
Pulse and RMD, adjusting wire feed speed also increases power level on wire electrode (one knob control).

Press and release GAS TYPE button to select the desired shielding gas. This button will cycle through and illuminate only the available gas selections in
one particular column of the gas table based on the selected MIG process and WIRE TYPE type. The text illuminates when any MIG process is selected
except FCAW.
The gas selection table provides the available shielding gas selections. For any MIG process except FCAW, gas selections are structured into columns
based first on WIRE TYPE type and then on MIG process selections. The gas type text illuminates to indicate the active gas selection. Shielding gas
selections are as follows:
Press and release SIDE SELECT button to select the MIG process and the desired side of a dual feeder (only LEFT will illuminate when using a single
feeder).
8. Dual Schedule
To use Dual Schedule, plug in the switch, and select the MIG TYPE Process with the necessary selections and parameters with the switch in one
position. Then move the switch position and select the MIG TYPE Process with the necessary selections and parameters again. Essentially, there are
two programs saved to the selected memory location.

The unit is shipped in the standard configuration (“Std” appears on the display). In the standard configuration preflow and postflow times are automatic-
ally calculated as follows:
Preflow
Preflow is only active when in the HF start mode. For TIG, the preflow time is set to 0.1 seconds when in the standard configuration.
For wire processes, the preflow times are fixed at 0.25 seconds which is the default setting in the weld programs.
Postflow
For TIG, the postflow time is a function of output current where the minimum time is 8 seconds from 0 to 175 amps and increases linearly from 8 seconds
at 175 amps to 16 seconds at 350 amps.
For wire processes, the postflow time is a function of wire feed speed where the minimum time is 8 seconds from 0 to 9.9 mpm and increases linearly for
8 seconds at 9.9 mpm to 16 seconds at 19.8 mpm.

Unit will display PrE on the Voltage display and preflow setting on the Wire Feed Speed display (Std appears if this is the first time).
5. Adjust preflow time to desired value by rotate the Wire Feed Speed knob.
Available selections include Std and numeric values from 0.9 to 10.0 seconds.
If Trigger Select is enabled, there is a minimum preflow time of 0.25 seconds even if programmed for 0.0 seconds.

Note: Arc Length − Length of arc from end of wire to weld puddle. Wire feed speed and voltage are synergic for the
RMD and ProPulse processes. This means when adjusting wire feed speed, the voltage is automatically adjusted so
it is not necessary to adjust the Arc Length.
*See wire manufacturer for recommended wire feed speed and gas mixture.
