Light Industrial Applications Quick Specs Process pipe Dairy industry Food/beverage industry Restaurant/kitchen repair Experimental aircraft Shipboard installation/repair Maintenance repair Stick (SMAW) Lift-Arc™ TIG (GTAW) High-frequency TIG (GTAW)* Pulsed TIG (GTAW-P)* TIG/Stick Welding Power Source Input Power 120–240 V, 1-phase power Amperage Range 120 V: 5–130 A (DC TIG) 20–90 A (DC stick) 240 V: 5–160 A (DC TIG) 20–160 A (DC stick) Max. Open-Circuit Voltage 48 Net Weight 13 lb. (5.9 kg) Additional STH model features Pro-Set™ eliminates the guesswork when setting weld parameters. Use Pro-Set when you want the speed, convenience and confidence of preset controls. Simply select the feature and adjust until Pro-Set appears on the display. Allows for any input voltage hookup (120–240 V) with no manual linking, providing convenience in any job setting. Ideal solution for dirty or unreliable power. Portable in the shop or at the job site — at 13 pounds, the handle/shoulder strap allows the end user to easily move from location to location. High-frequency for non-contact arc initiation that reduces tungsten and material contamination. Pulse. Pulsing can increase puddle agitation, arc stability and travel speeds while reducing heat input and distortion. Fan-On-Demand™ power source cooling system operates only when needed, reducing noise, energy use and the amount of contaminants pulled through the machine. Thermal overload protection helps prevent machine damage if the duty cycle is exceeded or airflow is blocked. Digital meter for more precise control when presetting or monitoring welding amperage. Simple-to-use operator interface providing only the necessary controls in a compact machine. Lift-Arc™ provides TIG arc initiation without the use of high frequency. Built-in gas solenoid eliminates the need for a bulky torch with a gas valve. Maxstar 161 STL Full function remote control for precise amperage control for critical welds on thin materials (6-pin fingertip or foot control available.) Selectable trigger configuration allows the operator to choose standard or 2T trigger method to meet the application. Low OCV stick is a simple design that reduces the open-circuit voltage to 12–16 volts when the welding power source is not in use. This circuit design is now built into the Maxstar 161 eliminating the need for add-on voltage reducers. Hot Start™ adaptive control provides positive arc starts without sticking. Power factor corrected (PFC) for optimum performance especially on 120 volts — reduces nuisance breaker tripping. Stick-Stuck detects if the electrode is stuck to the part and turns the welding output off to safely and easily remove the electrode. Menu selectable. Superior stick arc performance even on the difficult-to-run electrodes like E6010. Power source is warranted for three years, parts and labor. Original main power rectified parts are warranted for five years. Equipment Sales US and Canada MillerWelds.com An ITW Welding Company 1635 West Spencer Street P.O.
