! This equipment shall not be used by the general public as the EMF limits for the general public might be exceeded during welding.
This equipment is built in accordance with EN 60974−1 and is intended to be used only in an occupational environment (where the general public
access is prohibited or regulated in such a way as to be similar to occupational use) by an expert or an instructed person.
Wire feeders and ancillary equipment (such as torches, liquid cooling systems and arc striking and stabilizing devices) as part of the welding
circuit may not be a major contributor to the EMF. See the Owner’s Manuals for all components of the welding circuit for additional EMF exposure
information.
S The EMF assessment on this equipment was conducted at 0.5 meter.
S At a distance of 1 meter the EMF exposure values were less than 20% of the permissible values.
The weld cable occupational exposure assessment was performed at the center of a radius of a curved weld cable under worst-case conditions.
The following special conditions apply to the operation of this equipment:
S Use mechanized welding operations when welding with AC or pulsed DC processes and power source settings are above 350 A.

C. Information On Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) (Dynasty 350)
! This Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is provided by the public low−
voltage supply system. There can be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in those locations, due to con-
ducted as well as radiated disturbances.
This equipment complies with IEC61000-3-11 and IEC 61000−3−12 and can be connected to public low-voltage systems provided that the public
low-voltage system impedance Zmax at the point of common coupling is less than 38.63mW (or the short−circuit power Ssc is greater than
4.1MVA). It is the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the distribution network operator if neces-
sary, that the system impedance complies with the impedance restrictions.

* This chart is a general guideline and may not suit all applications. If cable overheats, use next size larger cable.
**Weld cable size (AWG) is based on either a 4 volts or less drop or a current density of at least 300 circular mils per ampere.
( ) = mm2 for metric use
*** Select weld cable size for pulsing application at peak amperage value.
****For distances longer than 100 ft (30 m) and up to 200 ft (60 m), use direct current (DC) output only. For distances longer than those shown
in this guide, call a factory applications rep. at 920-735-4505 (Miller) or 1-800-332-3281 (Hobart).

Failure to follow these electrical service guide recommendations could create an electric shock or fire hazard. These recommenda-
tions 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
630.12.

(see Section 6-7) arc starting meth-
od that can be used with either AC
or DC TIG welding. Make connec-
tions according to Section 5-10.
TIG Lift-Arct - is an arc starting
method in which the electrode must
1 come in contact with the workpiece
(see Section 6-7). This method can
be used with either AC or DC TIG
welding. Make connections ac-
cording to Section 5-10.
Stick (SMAW) - This method can
be used with either AC or DC Stick
welding. Make connections ac-
cording to Section 5-12.
6-7. Lift-Arc And HF TIG Start Procedures

Lift-Arc Start
When Lift-Arct button light is On,
start arc as follows:
1 TIG Electrode
2 Workpiece
Touch tungsten electrode to work-
piece at weld start point, enable out-
put and shielding gas with torch trig-
Lift-Arc Start Method ger, foot control, or hand control. Hold
1 2 electrode to workpiece for 1-2 sec-
onds, and slowly lift electrode. Arc is
formed when electrode is lifted.
Normal open-circuit voltage is not
present before tungsten electrode
touches workpiece; only a low sens-
1−2 ing voltage is present between elec-
“Touch” Seconds trode and workpiece. The solid-state
output contactor does not energize
until after electrode is touching work-
piece. This allows a properly pre-
pared electrode (see Section 12-2) to
touch workpiece without overheating,
sticking, or getting contaminated.
Application:
Lift-Arc is used for the DCEN or AC
GTAW process when HF Start meth-
od is not permitted, or to replace the
scratch method.
Do NOT Strike Like A Match! HF Start
When HF Start button light is On, start
arc as follows:
High frequency turns on to start arc
when output is enabled. High fre-
quency turns off when arc is started,
and turns on whenever arc is broken
to help restart arc.
Application:
HF start is used for the DCEN GTAW,
or the AC GTAW process when a
non-contact arc starting method is
required.

See Section 6-14 for all Pulser parameter ranges.
PPS - Pulse frequency or pulses per second, is the num-
1 ber of pulse cycles per second. Pulse frequency helps
reduce heat input, part warpage, and helps weld bead
cosmetics. The higher the PPS setting, the smoother the
ripple effect, the narrower the weld bead, and the more
cooling you get. By setting PPS on the lower end, the
pulse is slower, and the weld bead wider. This slow puls-
ing helps agitate the weld puddle to help release gas
trapped in the weldment, and help reduce porosity (very
useful in aluminum welding). Some beginners use a
slower pulse rate (2-4 pps) to help them with their timing
on adding filler material. An experienced welder may
have the PPS setting much higher, depending on their
personal preferences, and on what they are trying to ac-
4 complish.
PEAK t - (PEAK t) is the percentage of time in each cycle,
spent at peak amperage (main amperage). Peak amper-
age is set with the Amperage control (see Section 6-3).
If one pulse per second is being used, and peak time is

Example shows affect changing the Peak Time control
has on the pulsed output waveform.
Application:
Pulsing refers to the alternating raising and lowering of
the weld output at a specific rate. The raised portions of
the weld output are controlled in width, height, and fre-
quency, forming pulses of weld output. These pulses and
the lower amperage level between them (called the back-
ground amperage) alternately heat and cool the molten
weld puddle. The combined effect gives the operator bet-
ter control of penetration, bead width, crowning, under-
cutting, and heat input. Controls can be adjusted while
welding.
Pulsing can also be used for filler material addition tech-
nique training.

4 Voltmeter
Displays word abbreviations of se-
lected parameters.
INITIAL A (Initial Amperage) [INTL]
- Use control to select a starting am-
perage that is different from the
weld amperage.
1 Application:
Initial Amperage can be used to as-
sist in preheating cold material prior
to depositing filler material, or to en-
sure a soft start.
INITIAL t (Initial Time) [INTL]
(Available with Automation op-
tion Only) - Press control again
and turn Encoder to set amount of
time needed at the beginning of the
weld.
INITIAL SLOPE t (Initial Slope
Time) [ISLP] Use control to set
amount of time that it takes to slope
from initial amperage to weld
amperage. To disable, set to 0.
5 Amperage Switch Pad

tomation option Only) - Press
Amperage switch pad twice. Set
desired weld time.
Spot Time - Press amperage
switch twice. Set desired spot time.
FINAL SLOPE t (Final Slope Time)
[FSLP] - Use control to set amount
of time it takes to slope from weld
amperage to final amperage. To
disable, set to 0.
Application:
Final Slope should be used while
welding materials that are crack
sensitive, and/or to eliminate the
crater at the end of the weld.
FINAL A (Final Amperage) [FNL] -

1 Gas/DIG Controls
Press switch pad until desired function
4 3 LED is illuminated.
See Section 6-14 for all Adjust parameter
ranges.
4 Voltmeter
Displays word abbreviations of selected
2 parameters.
PREFLOW [PRE] - If the TIG HF process
is active (see Section 6-6) and Preflow is
shown on the control panel, use control to
set length of time gas flows before arc ini-
tiation.
Application: Preflow is used to purge
the weld area and aids in arc starts.
POST FLOW [POST] - If the TIG process
is active (see Section 6-6), use control to
set length of time gas flows after welding
stops.
AUTO POST FLOW - Creates a post
flow time scaled at 1 second per 10 amps
of the peak weld amperage for a given
1 weld cycle. Auto post flow is limited to a
8 second minimum, or to the maximum
preset post flow time.
Application:
Postflow is required to cool tungsten and
weld, and to prevent contamination of
tungsten and weld. Increase postflow
time if tungsten or weld are dark in ap-
pearance.
DIG - If Stick process is active (see Sec-
tion 6-6), use control to set amount of
DIG. When set at 0, short-circuit amper-
age at low arc voltage is the same as nor-
mal welding amperage.
When setting is increased, short-circuit
amperage at low arc voltage increases.
Application:
Control helps arc starting or making verti-
cal or overhead welds by increasing am-
perage at low arc voltage, and reduces
electrode sticking while welding.
PURGE [PURG] - To activate the gas
valve and start the purge function, push
and hold the Gas/DIG switch pad for the
desired amount of time. To set from 1 to
50 seconds of purge time, hold the Gas/
DIG switch pad while turning the encoder
control. Default is 0.
While Purge is active, [PURG] is shown
in the left display, and purge time is
shown in the right display.
Pressing any switch pad will end the
purge display, but gas will continue to flow
until the preset time has timed out.
Application: Purge is used to clear the
gas lines.

6-12. AC Waveshape (Dynasty Models Only)

1 AC Waveshape Control
Press switch pad until desired function LED is
4 3 illuminated.
See Section 6-14 for all AC Waveshape param-
eter ranges.
EN Amperage [EN] - Use with AC TIG only to
2 select electrode negative amperage value.
EP Amperage [EP] - Use with AC TIG only to
5 select electrode positive amperage value.
Note: See Section 7-1 to set same Amplitude
control [ENEP].
EN Amperage and EP Amperage allow the op-
erator the ability to control the amount of am-
perage in the negative and positive half cycles
independently. A 1.5 to 1 ratio of EN to EP is a
good starting point. This provides cleaning ac-
tion, but directs more energy into the workpiece
and provides faster travel speeds.
4 Amperage Control
Average Amperage Control: Setting EN Am-
perage, EP Amperage, Balance, and Frequen-
f cy values creates an average amperage. The
1 operator can change the average amperage
value while maintaining the same EN amper-
age to EP amperage ratio at the existing bal-
ance and frequency. To change the average
amperage value, press the Amperage switch
pad and turn the Encoder control. The chang-
ing average value is displayed on the ammeter.
Example: If EN Amperage is 300, EP Amper-
age is 150, Balance is 60%, and Frequency is
120, the average amperage is 240 amps. If you
press the Amperage switch pad and turn the
Encoder control until 480 amps is displayed,
the EN amperage is now 600 and EP amper-
age is now 300. The balance remains 60%, and
the frequency is still 120, and the 2 to 1 EN am-
perage to EP amperage is maintained.
Balance [BAL] - AC Balance control is enabled
only in AC TIG to set percentage of time polarity
is electrode negative. Set control at about 75%,
and fine tune from there.
5 Voltmeter
Displays word abbreviations of selected pa-
rameters.
Application:
When welding on oxide forming materials such
as aluminum or magnesium, excess cleaning
is not necessary. To produce a good weld, only
0.10 in (2.5mm) of etched zone along the weld
toes is required.
Use AC Balance to control the etch zone width.
Joint configuration, set-up, process variables,
and oxide thickness may affect setting.
AC Frequency [FREQ] - Use control to set AC
frequency (cycles per second).
Application:
AC Frequency controls arc width and direction-
al control. As AC frequency decreases, the arc
becomes wider and less focused, limiting di-
rectional control. As AC frequency increases,
the arc becomes narrower and more focused,
increasing directional control. Travel speed
can increase as AC frequency increases.

12-2. Preparing Tungsten Electrode For DC Electrode Negative (DCEN) Welding

Or AC Welding With Inverter Machines
Grinding the tungsten electrode produces dust and flying sparks which can cause injury and start fires.
Use local exhaust (forced ventilation) at the grinder or wear an approved respirator. Read MSDS for safety
information. Consider using tungsten containing ceria, lanthana, or yttria instead of thoria. Grinding dust
from thoriated electrodes contains low-level radioactive material. Properly dispose of grinder dust in an
environmentally safe way. Wear proper face, hand, and body protection. Keep flammables away.
