By the time you calibrate it you will need a new spool of wire, WOW!
Do you need to do the calibration procedure on the older 211s that have just a rocker switch that changes from MiG gun to spool gun and not the dial like the newer models ? Thanks
LOL!
This is like my Canon printer using half the remaining ink up "cleaning the head" before doing the print job.
Blue light does not flash please help
Can't get the blue light to flash unless I turn it into the blue auto set. Did you ever figure it out?
Do you use the mig steel C25 gas setting as the video shows or do you set it to spool gun setting
+Pocono Stairman The new Millermatics have an Auto Spoolgun Detect. This means that the machine knows when there is a spoolgun connected, so it does not matter where you set the machine when setting up for spoolgun calibration. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
I have read through all my paperwork for a 150 spool connected to a 211, it doesnt make any mention of polarity, getting some bad burnback into the tip and jamming up the feed.
I have a 211 with the 100, and I was getting the same thing and wondered about the polarity, and I couldn't find anything online about reversing the polarity.
Kbg welding guy say dc. positive. Check there video out. How to connect aluminum spool gun
I am about ready to try this out with a 211 inverter and a M 150 spoolgun, thanks for the video. I was curious if there is anything you need to do to the machine when you put the standard MIG gun back in to recalibrate it?
+Chukk B That's a great question. When you are finished with the spool gun, you can simply disconnect the spool gun, reinstall the MIG gun and be ready to weld. No calibration is required for the MIG gun. Let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you.
Hey thanks for answering my question. I figured that was the case, but wanted to confirm.
+Chukk B You're very welcome. We're happy to help!
If would be nice if we could leave spool gun and mig gun connected in place and dual gas inputs for both purposes. But I guess that’s why you sell the multimatics huh.
Is there a similar calibration procedure for the Hobart 190 and spoolrunner 100?
The Handler 190 does not have a calibration process
Hello guys! Can you help me .. I have spoolmate gun 100, I configurated like you say but when I use it , it does not have a clean finish. I end up with lumps on the welding. Any advice on what could it be?
Thanks for reaching out. We recommend talking this through with one of our techs. You can contact them at 920-734-9821
Do you repeat this every time the spool gun is needed?
radishfever The calibration procedure is needed when first setting up your machine. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
@@MillerWelders is calibration possible on 211 transformer type machine ? i get the orange temp light on start up but once i turn the dial to 10 followed by 100 i dont get the blue flashing light. i had issues with my spoolgun or machine for the first time.. any setting wouldnt weld properlly,. i figure a calibration is my best bet ?
Is this calibration is only for the spoolmate 150 or the spoolmate 100 has this fonctionnality too on the new miller 211?
+Jordan Nolin-Audet Thanks for your question. The Millermatic 211 is compatible with both the Spoolmate 100 and Spoolmate 150, and spool gun calibration is recommended for both guns. Let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you.
My Millermatic 211 autoset with MVP not only looks different from this one, but I can only go as far as getting the temperature light to blink.
Turning the wire speed to minimum, and then to 100 has no effect.
Hi, Pat. You most likely have the previous version of the Millermatic 211. It doesn't have Auto-Set for a spool gun, so calibration would not be a part of the setup. The Owner's Manual for your machine will have installation details. If you do not have your Owner's Manual, you can search for it here: www.millerwelds.com/support/manuals-and-parts Let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you!
Miller Welders Yeah, I figured it out and got it to work.
And I just ordered the switch kit to convert an older Challenger 172 to run a Spoolmate.
I was disappointed that I found nothing on doing that, but I did figure out that the 135 is very close in construction to the 172 and it should work.
Miller Welders i had the same question as I have the older 211 also
Is this also need it for mig welding?
Hi Sal. No, it's only necessary for spool guns. Let us know if you have any other questions.
Do you have to do this every time you hook up the spool gun
Thanks for reaching out. The spool gun calibration procedure would only need to be done the first time the spool gun is attached to the unit. Thank you.
i can not get more than 1 inch of wire to feed on low speed calibration. any ideas?
Thank you for reaching out. We recommend giving our service line a call to talk this through with a tech. The number is 920-734-9821. Let us know if you have any trouble getting through.
Is this also for the Millermatic 141? Thank you!
Hi Leaonardo. Thank you for reaching out. The calibration procedure does not apply to the Millermatic 141. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
So to use the spool gun 150, you first need to calibrate it? And when it's complete you can use autoset if I'm understanding this correctly. You can put the regular mig gun, I have a m25 gun for my 211, back on and run it like normal? And the last question, when you reinstall the spool gun again, is calibration needed?
+RYAN GODIN Those are great questions. Yes, you need to calibrate your spool gun when you first use it with the Millermatic 211. Once the calibration is complete, you can use Auto-Set. When you are finished with the spool gun, you can put your MIG gun back on and run it like normal. You do not need to calibrate the spool gun again after the first calibration. We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you!
+Miller Welders thank you very much, such a great company with outstanding customer service!!
+RYAN GODIN You're very welcome! Weld on...
So why can't the calibration be done before shipping the unit? Would solve a lot of issues and the unit would then be tested and READY to use.
@@johnn4367 Because MILLLER does not have the gun you are using 100% on hand.
Do you need to do this procedure even if you aren't going to use the autoset feature with the spool gun?
Hi Brett, thanks for reaching out. The main reason for the calibration process is to ensure the that the Autoset feature works properly, so if you are just using manual mode it wouldn’t be required. We hope this helps!
I just bought a spoolmate 100 series gun and I have a earlier model Miller matic mvp 211 . Does my Mvp calibrate my gun the same way? 55892205533__6C9007EB-1879-4857-884C-FC32DAC846B7.JPG
Hi Robert, thank you for the question. The earlier Millermatic 211 models do not have any type of calibration procedure that needs to be performed. Thank you.
And again we find older is better. ;)
At what point does the secret door pop open for the drug stash.
Wtheeeeeeeck!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 Autoset my @$$!!!!
Such A Waist of wire
