SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: These Safety Precautions are for
your protection. They summarize precaution-
ary information from the references listed in
Additional Safety Information section. Before
performing any installation or operating procedures, be
sure to read and follow the safety precautions listed below
as well as all other manuals, material safety data sheets,
labels, etc. Failure to observe Safety Precautions can result
in injury or death.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS
--
Some welding, cutting, and gouging
processes are noisy and require ear
protection. The arc, like the sun, emits
ultraviolet (UV) and other radiation and
can injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause burns.
Training in the proper use of the processes and equip-
ment is essential to prevent accidents. Therefore:
1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any work
area, even if welding helmets, face shields, and goggles
are also required.
2. Use a face shield fitted with the correct filter and cover
plates to protect your eyes, face, neck, and ears from
sparks and rays of the arc when operating or observing
operations. Warn bystanders not to watch the arc and
not to expose themselves to the rays of the electric-arc
or hot metal.
3. Wear flameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long-sleeve
shirt, cuffless trousers, high-topped shoes, and a weld-
ing helmet or cap for hair protection, to protect against
arc rays and hot sparks or hot metal. A flameproof apron
may also be desirable as protection against radiated
heat and sparks.
4. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves,
trouser cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should be
kept buttoned, and open pockets eliminated from the
front of clothing
5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparks
with a suitable non-flammable partition or curtains.
6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or
grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can fly far.
Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety glasses.
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS -- Heat from
flames and arcs can start fires. Hot slag
or sparks can also cause fires and ex-
plosions. Therefore:
1. Remove all combustible materials well away from the
work area or cover the materials with a protective non-
flammable covering. Combustible materials include wood,
cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels, solvents, paints and
coatings, paper, etc.
2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or
crevices in floors or wall openings and cause a hidden
smoldering fire or fires on the floor below. Make certain
that such openings are protected from hot sparks and
metal.“
3. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until the
workpiece has been completely cleaned so that there
are no substances on the workpiece which might pro-
duce flammable or toxic vapors. Do not do hot work on
closed containers. They may explode.
4. Have fire extinguishing equipment handy for instant use,
such as a garden hose, water pail, sand bucket, or
portable fire extinguisher. Be sure you are trained in its
use.
10/98
5. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For example,
overloaded welding cable can overheat and create a fire
hazard.
6. After completing operations, inspect the work area to
make certain there are no hot sparks or hot metal which
could cause a later fire. Use fire watchers when neces-
sary.
7. For additional information, refer to NFPA Standard 51B,
"Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding Pro-
cesses", available from the National Fire Protection Asso-
ciation, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK -- Contact with live
electrical parts and ground can cause
severe injury or death. DO NOT use AC
welding current in damp areas, if move-
ment is confined, or if there is danger of
falling.
1. Be sure the power source frame (chassis) is connected
to the ground system of the input power.
2. Connect the workpiece to a good electrical ground.
3. Connect the work cable to the workpiece. A poor or
missing connection can expose you or others to a fatal
shock.
4. Use well-maintained equipment. Replace worn or dam-
aged cables.
5. Keep everything dry, including clothing, work area,
cables, torch/electrode holder, and power source.
6. Make sure that all parts of your body are insulated from
work
and from ground.
7. Do not stand directly on metal or the earth while working
in tight quarters or a damp area; stand on dry boards or
an insulating platform and wear rubber-soled shoes.
8. Put on dry, hole-free gloves before turning on the power.
9. Turn off the power before removing your gloves.
10. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (listed on next page)
for specific grounding recommendations. Do not mis-
take the work lead for a ground cable.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS —
May be dangerous. Electric current flow-
ing through any conductor causes lo-
calized Electric and Magnetic Fields
(EMF). Welding and cutting current cre-
ates EMF around welding cables and
welding machines. Therefore:
1. Welders having pacemakers should consult their physi-
cian before welding. EMF may interfere with some pace-
makers.
2. Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are
unknown.
3. Welders should use the following procedures to minimize
exposure to EMF:
A. Route the electrode and work cables together. Secure
them with tape when possible.
B. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body.
C. Do not place your body between the torch and work
cables. Route cables on the same side of your body.
D. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded.
E. Keep welding power source and cables as far away
from your body as possible.
6
FUMES AND GASES -- Fumes and
gases, can cause discomfort or harm,
particularly in confined spaces. Do
not breathe fumes and gases. Shield-
ing gases can cause asphyxiation.
Therefore:
1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area by
natural or mechanical means. Do not weld, cut, or gouge
on materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel,
copper, zinc, lead, beryllium, or cadmium unless posi-
tive mechanical ventilation is provided. Do not breathe
fumes from these materials.
2. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying opera-
tions. The heat or arc rays can react with chlorinated
hydrocarbon vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic
gas, and other irritant gases.
3. If you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat irritation
while operating, this is an indication that ventilation is not
adequate. Stop work and take necessary steps to im-
prove ventilation in the work area. Do not continue to
operate if physical discomfort persists.
4. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (see listing below)
for specific ventilation recommendations.
5. WARNING: This product, when used for welding or
cutting, produces fumes or gases which
contain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause birth defects and, in
some cases, cancer. (California Health &
Safety Code
§25249.5 et seq.)
CYLINDER HANDLING -- Cylinders, if
mishandled, can rupture and violently
release gas. Sudden rupture of cylin-
der, valve, or relief device can injure or
kill. Therefore:
1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the proper
pressure reducing regulator designed to operate from
the compressed gas cylinder. Do not use adaptors.
Maintain hoses and fittings in good condition. Follow
manufacturer's operating instructions for mounting regu-
lator to a compressed gas cylinder.
2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by chain
or strap to suitable hand trucks, undercarriages, benches,
walls, post, or racks. Never secure cylinders to work
tables or fixtures where they may become part of an
electrical circuit.
3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have
valve protection cap in place if regulator is not con-
nected. Secure and move cylinders by using suitable
hand trucks. Avoid rough handling of cylinders.
4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks, and flames.
Never strike an arc on a cylinder.
5. For additional information, refer to CGA Standard P-1,
"Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in
Cylinders", which is available from Compressed Gas
Association, 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington,
VA 22202.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE -- Faulty or
improperly maintained equipment can
cause injury or death. Therefore:
1. Always have qualified personnel perform the installa-
tion, troubleshooting, and maintenance work. Do not
perform any electrical work unless you are qualified to
perform such work.
2. Before performing any maintenance work inside a power
source, disconnect the power source from the incoming
electrical power.
3. Maintain cables, grounding wire, connections, power
cord, and power supply in safe working order. Do not
operate any equipment in faulty condition.
4. Do not abuse any equipment or accessories. Keep
equipment away from heat sources such as furnaces,
wet conditions such as water puddles, oil or grease,
corrosive atmospheres and inclement weather.
5. Keep all safety devices and cabinet covers in position
and in good repair.
6. Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Do not
modify it in any manner.

SECTION 1 DESCRIPTION
1.1 General
The Ultra-Pulse 350 pendant is designed to provide
simple to use, high quality, synergic pulsed Mig welding
when used with a 350MPi inverter power source and a
Mig 4HD, 4HD Dual or Mig 5XL "Mongoose" wire feeder.
Synergic pulsed Mig welding means that pulse param-
eters (such as pulse height, pulse width, background
current and pulse frequency) are automatically adjusted
by the Ultra-Pulse 300i pendant as you change wire feed
speed.
The Ultra-Pulse 350 pendant also provides a PULSE
ARC TRIM that allows the operator to fine tune the pulse
arc length. The operator can change to standard welding
by simply moving the PULSE /STANDARD switch to the
STANDARD position. The system can then be used for
non-pulsed Mig (GMAW), Tig (GTAW) or stick electrode
welding (SMAW) by changing the 350MPi PROCESS
SELECTOR switch to the desired welding process and
connecting the appropriate welding torch or electrode
holder.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION
2.1 General

2. Use output cables that are as short as possible.
Do not loop or coil the work cables. Excessive
cable lengths and coiled cables could result in
less than optimum performance.
3. Proper connection of the work cables to the
work is essential for high quality results. Under-
sized ground clamps, poor connects, frayed
cables, cable splices or clamps attached to
rusting or dirty surfaces will result in unstable
conditions.
4. Turn the power source "ON" and initiate the
welding process by closing the torch trigger.
3. Be sure that the secondary output connections
(welding cables) are connected so the positive
cable goes to the wire feeder and the negative
cable goes to the work piece.
2.3 Power Source Set-Up
1. The 350MPi power source is "Pulse Mig Ready"
and requires no additional configuration or ad-
justments. Place the 350MPi power source
PROCESS SELECTOR switch in the Mig posi-
tion and the MIG SELECTOR switch to the type
of Mig wire to be used. The position of the
REMOTE/PANEL switch is dependant on the
wire feeder and process (STANDARD or
PULSE) being used. Refer to TABLE 1.

The ARC TRIM is used to fine tune the arc
length performance. Turn the knob clockwise to
increase the arc length or counterclockwise to
decrease the arc length.
B.
Mig 4HD Wire Feeder
1. Set the WIRE FEED SPEED dial to a wire feed
rate that is within the range of the UltraPuse
pendant control.
NOTE-----The RED light on the UltraPulse pen-
dant will "Blink" when the wire feed speed is out
of range.
2. Pull the gun trigger. Begin Welding. Trim the
arc voltage with the UltraPulse pendant TRIM
knob to the desired arc length
C.
Mig 4HD Dual Wire Feeder
1. Pulse operation is the same as the standard Mig
4HD except BOTH guns on the Mig 4HD Dual
will have pulse parameters sent to them based
on the wire type and diameter seletcted on the
UltraPulse Pendant. Each gun CANNOT be
independently controlled for different wire types
or sizes.
D. Mig 5XL "Mongoose" Wire Feeder
1. To pulse with the Mongoose "push/Pull" Sys-
tem, be sure you have the Mig 5XL Pulse
Version wire feeder (PN-37487).
2. Set the 350MPi PANEL/REMOTE switch to the
REMOTE position (See TABLE 1).
3. Set the wire feed speed on the MT-300XL gun.
NOTE-----The RED light on the UltraPulse pen-
dant will "Blink" when the wire feed speed is out
of range.
4. Adjust the UltraPuse Arc Trim to the desired arc
characteristics.
E.
Process control
1. Use a tip-to-work distance of 3/8" to 5/8". This
refers to the distance between the end of the Mig
gun contact tip and the plate or weld puddle.
2. For the best arc stability, keep the arc on the
front edge of the molten puddle and use a 5 to 10
degree gun angle from the vertical.
3. The TRIM knob on the UltraPulse 350 pendant
is used to fine tune the arc length by turning the
dial clockwise to lengthen the arc or counter-
clockwise to shorten the arc. If the arc is "crack-
ling" or if spatter is excessive lengthen the arc.
If the arc is "fluttering" or difficult to control then
shorten the arc length.
SECTION 4 PULSE TECHNICAL DATA
4.1 Standard CV Operation
The Ultra-Pulse 350 pendant provides for both standard
welding and pulsed Mig welding. When the STAN-
DARD/PULSE switch is in the STANDARD position the
wire feeder and power source are ready for standard
non-pulsed CV Mig welding. Follow the basic instruc-
tions provided with the power source to change to other
welding processes, such as, Tig or Stick welding .
1. For standard CV Mig welding the wire feed
speed and power source output (voltage) are
independent.
2. On a Mig 4HD, set the voltage on the front panel
of the feeder. On a Mig 5XL, set the arc voltage
on the front panel of the power source. Refer to
Table 1.
13
SECTION 4 PULSE TECHNICAL DATA
4.2 Pulse MIG Arc Stability
Many variables can affect the arc stability of pulse MIG
welding. Some examples are:
Long welding cables
High resistance cables and connections
Differences in shielding gas compositions
Differences in weld wire chemistry
Water vs. air cooled guns
Base metal surface condition
When adverse conditions are present, the pulse arc
stability is sometimes less than desirable. The arc will
"crackle" and produce higher than normal spatter levels.
This occurs due to higher resistances in the welding
circuit causing changes pulse waveform and average
current levels. The TRIM knob on the UltraPulse pen-
dant adjusts the pulse frequency to accommodate small
changes in the welding equipment set-up and base
material variations to achieve a stable pulse welding
condition.
4.3 Shielding Gases
Table 2 lists the range of shielding gases that can be
used with the UltraPuse pendant. The wire burn-off rate
and synergic operation will vary with changes in shield-
ing gas. The UtraPulse TRIM knob is used to compen-
sate for changes in shield gas composition.
4.4 Pulse Parameters
Tables 3 through 7 list the approximate pulse welding
parmeters for each material and diameter. These are
provided for general reference only. Actual pulse pa-
rameters can vary with the equipment set-up, welding
application and shielding gases being used. The wire
feed speed ranges shown in the tables are the same as
programmed into the UltraPulse 350 pendant. Attempt-
ing to weld outside of the suggested speed ranges will
result in a "blinking" indicator light on the UltraPulse front
panel. A "steady" light lite on the panel indicates the wire
material and diameter combination selected does not
have any pulse data programmed.
