I bought an IMIG 200 to try and hook up a Miller 30A spoolgun up to it. I recieved it today and tested it on stick using 5P and 7018. I was pleasantly surprised on how well it ran both - much better, in my opinion, than my 200DX. I know the DX is not supposed to run 5P but I haven't been crazy about how it runs LO-HI, either. The arc seems much smoother with the IMIG. The control in stick mode is YOYO - You're On Your Own - as the readouts mean nothing and is dialed in at the POT. No biggie, same as my other analog machines. I have not played with the arc control, I didn't buy it to stick weld but I'm encouraged enough to play more. The idea behind this effort is to have portability for jobs that I do in a harbor where 220V is available dockside in places or on boats that generate their own power, usually 208V. That it welds stick too, and well it seems, is icing. I do mostly aluminum. When I bought it, I asked for a female connector (Amphenol type) that is part of their spoolgun hook-up, which, they gave me for free, so as to have internal access for my designs. My probing so far shows that the contactor (lugweld says there is no contactor) which is energized by jumping the two pin contacts on the Euro style connection. At the Amphenol, which has four wires to it, two provide 13VDC, which apparently provides power for the spoolgun. The two other connections I cannot figure. Anyway, I'm off to make this work. I'll update how it goes, one way or another. Failure is not a concern. BTW, Alex gave me a good deal on the unit.
