Also tracks oil change intervals and displays engine diagnostics for quick and easy servicing. Deutz D2.9 L4 Tier 4 Final compliant diesel. The cleanest, greenest diesel power available. Utilizes Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) technology to keep the air clean with NO exhaust aftertreatment maintenance. Low OCV Stick is a simple design that reduces the open-circuit voltage to 15 volts when the welding power source is not in use. This feature is now built into the Big Blue 500 Pro for increased operator safety without compromising arc starts. Auto Remote Sense™ (ARS) detects if a remote control is plugged into the 14-pin receptacle and eliminates confusion of a remote/panel switch. Thermal overload protection prevents machine damage if the duty cycle is exceeded or airflow is blocked. Infinite arc control allows the arc characteristics to be changed for specific applications in Stick, MIG and FCAW. Remote oil drain prevents spills and makes servicing easy. Standard features include digital preset weld meters, automatic idle and 120 V block heater. The Vault — ultimate control board reliability. See page 4. Welder/generator is warranted by Miller for 3 years, parts and labor. Engine is warranted separately by engine manufacturer.

Function Guide 1. Self-Calibrating Digital Weld Meters with Fault Code Indication display preset or actual weld parameters. 2. Adjustable Arc Control adjusts DIG when process control is in Stick mode and adjusts inductance when process control is in FCAW or MIG mode. The amount of DIG determines how much amperage (heat) varies with Stick arc length. Inductance determines the “wetness” of the weld puddle. 3. Amperage/Voltage Adjust Control ™ 4. Hot Start provides positive Stick electrode starts making it easy to start all types of electrodes and it also works great for bead tie-ins. 5. Great...

What Makes Miller Industrial Engine Drives So ® Superior Circuit Board Design Our critical circuit boards are engineered to carry low power and low heat to reduce thermal stress and minimize expansion and contraction. In contrast, our competitor’s boards carry high power and high heat, making them more vulnerable to failure. Rigorous Testing for Tough, Real-World Conditions To prove our machines go to the limit, Miller industrial engine drives are put to the test in very extreme environmental conditions. • Airborne dust and sand. Critical components are exposed to abusive airborne particles...
