Yep, the pulser and start current will work with stick. Set the

per second near the minimum and the duty cycle near the middle.
Make
the foreground and background currents a lot different and you'll
see
what the pulser does after you strike the arc...

AHHA! Somebody who knows Stuff! (doning brain picking garb)

Ok then...if you would be so kind as to sit over there and watch the
watch...you are getting sleepy...sleepy.....


If you would be so kind as to perhaps anzer a few kavestions aboot
zis
mazhine....

Za controls on zis verdamnit mazhine are az follows.

Contactor Local/remote *obvious

Weld Current Local/remote *obvious

Crater Fill In/out *this keeps the HF going for some seconds
after
releasing the pedal ????

Spot Time On/Off *?????
Spot Time Sec. .02-5

Start Current On/Off
Start Current (percentage of max. current on range selected) 0-100
* I know what it does..starts the arc at a certain amperage..but
why?

Preset/Actual *changes the LED displays

Weld Current Percentage of Range Selected *big master knob amp
control- obvious

High 15-375 amps/ Low 5-125 Amps *obvious

AC Balance *scale goes 1 to 0 to -1 to -9
0-50/50 balance and DC Welding
-9 Max straight Polarity and Minimum Tungstun Heating
1 Max Reverse polarity cleaning


Pre-flow time 0-15 *obvious
Post flow time 10-60 *there is a click position at the bottom that
says Stick Weld (gas/water off) Obvious

Frequency P.P.S .02-10 *??

Pulsar (3 position) *???
Peak *arrow points up to Freq PPS and arrow pointing to
Pulse Width Percentage
Pulse *arrow points to Background current
Background

Background Current 0-100 *??

Pulse Width Percentage 10-90 *??


Can you give me a hint as to what they all mean...and some start
settings for aluminum?

I start going glassy eyed at AC Balance and goes completly clueless
on the pulsar stuff.
I think I got Balance figured out..thats how long the AC arc is on
the
negative or positive side of the sine wave? 50% is even, 70% is 70%
heat, 30% cleaning and so forth?

I posted photos if they will help

Thanks.

Zu may vake up now....SNAP!

xray pretty much covered it.

"SPOT TIME" is for tig spot welding

"CRATER FILL" reduces the current gradually after your release the
foot pedal

"START CURRENT" gives you a higher current for a few seconds after the
arc is struck-better penetration . Works is stick mode too

Your machine is probably a newer version of mine. Same panel layout
but mine is white with black lettering. If you go to the Miller
website (www.millerwelds.com) you can download an owners manual for
one of their tig units and it will explain the similar controls.
There's also a TIG manual you might want to save.

Nice catch! I bought mine years ago at a DRMO auction for $190 and it
didn't have any accessories, so you did REALLY well!
