3.0 Electrical and Air Requirements
CHAPTER 3 ELECTRICAL AND AIR REQUIREMENTS
Warning! Only a qualified electrician may connect the electrical power.
Electrical Supply
Due to the number of different style outlets available, the cord will not include a plug. It
is recommended that your electrician install a plug that is comparable to your style power
outlet. You may choose to have your power cord hard-wired into your Power Supply. It is
recommended that your electrician use a Junction Box with an ON/OFF switch. The Miller
Weldmaster Impulse Extreme has the following electrical requirements:
•40 Amperes - Three phase - 230 Volts
•40 Amperes - Three phase - 400 Volts
•40 Amperes - Single phase - 230 Volts
Shop Air Supply
The Miller Weldmaster Impulse Extreme includes an In-Shop Air Supply Valve that allows quick
connects and disconnects to your shop air supply. Due to the number of different style airline
connectors, a male quick-connect is not included. You will want to select a male quick-connect
with a ¼ inch NPT (National Pipe Thread) to match your female quick-connect. The Miller Weld-
master Impulse Extreme requires the following shop air requirements:
•Minimum of 5cfm at 120 psi
•140 liters/min at 8.2 Bar

4.0 Principals of Heat Sealing
CHAPTER 4 PRINCIPALS OF HEAT SEALING
Heat: The heat required for the welding operation is created electrically by two heating elements
located on each sealing bar.
Time: The amount of time the heat and pressure is applied to the fabric or film. This time allows
the heat to penetrate into the fabric or film and then cool.
Pressure: The pressure is applied to the fabric or film through the sealing bars. The sealing bars
apply.
Summary: The correct combination of heat, pressure, and time will allow you to achieve a
properly welded seam.

5.0 Definition of Controls
Operator Control : System banner bar notifies the user of the ma-
chines current process as well as any alarms that may be present.
This will display many different phrases so the operator knows what
process the machine is currently in.
Recipe Bar: This is a reference as to what the current recipe is. As
well as the name of the recipe that the operator can change in
the recipe screen.
Weld Time:
SP: Set Point. Set point is the amount of time the heat elements are
on during the welding cycle. This is a changeable Value. To change the
Set point touch the screen area displaying the current Set point. A key
pad will pop up. This will allow the Set point to be entered. A minimum
time of 1 second to a maximum time of 30 seconds can be entered.
PV:Present Value. During the welding cycle the Weld Present
Value will display the elapsed time of the Heating cycle. This
time will start at 0.00seconds and count up to the Weld time
set point.
Cool Time:
SP: Set point. The Cool Time Set point is the amount of time the heat
elements are off during the welding cycle. This is a changeable set
point. To change the Cool Time Set point touch the screen area dis-
playing the current Cool Time Set point. A key pad pop up will allow
the Cool Time Set point to be entered. A minimum time of 1 second to
a maximum time of 99 seconds can be entered.
PV:Present Value. During the cooling cycle the Cool Time Present Val-
