DESCRIPTION
NOTE
Either the 4-in-1 Option Module or the Pulse Selection Option Module can be installed NOT BOTH
Digital Dual Schedule MMI Panel
The Digital Dual Schedule MMI panel has all the capability of the Basic Dual Schedule panel with the addition of a digital
WFS and VOLT meter. The digital WFS meters adds digital presettability to the wire feed speed. The digital wire feed speed
can be preset to the IPM (inches per minute) setting desired and the control circuitry will maintain that wire feed speed
within +/- 2 ipm. A preset display of the arc voltage is NOT supported. During welding, the average WFS and VOLTS is
calculated and the display updated 3 times a second. The last reading is then held for 10 seconds after welding has completed for weld parameter verification and recording.
Digital Dual Schedule Pulse MMI Panel
The Digital Dual Schedule Pulse MMI panel adds Pulse MIG welding capability and is the most advanced MMI panel for the
DuraDrive feeder line. Two welding parameters can be preset on the panel in either the standard (CV) or pulse MIG process
mode. The arc starting schedule is selected with the SCHEDULE select switch (A or B). The "Click Click" gun trigger schedule
switching technique can be used to change welding parameters while welding. This MMI panel MUST be used with a PULSE
SELECTION module installed on the wire feeder control cabinet rear panel. This module can be used with the ESAB 350MPi,
MTS-3500i, SVI-450i and MultiPower 460 (non-pulse version) power sources for MIG pulse welding. The DuraDrive feeder
is factory shipped configured for the ESAB 350MPi, MTS-3500i and MultiPower 460 power sources. MMI installation and
setup instructions for the SVI-450i power source configuration are included in the Dual Pulse MMI installation instructions
F15-703. Other ESAB power sources and competitors power sources will not operate in the pulse mode using this Pulse
MMI panel.
NOTE
Power sources with pulsing capability built into the power source (such as the MultiPower 460 Pulse)
can utilize any of the MMI panels for pulse operation and does NOT require the Digital Dual; Schedule
Pulse MMI panel.
