mts 251is with 30a

[girvin]

ALoha just got my mts 251is and have alot of alluminum coming up. 2 truck beds and two boat bimini tops. I am buying a 30a for my trailblazer but was wondering how and how to hook it up to my mts. Also will I be loosing pulse or synergy setttings? I just dont want to buy twospoolguns if I dont have to.

can I make a adapter so I dont have to cut off my conector on the 30a? I really want to pulse mig aluminum but I will prob use it on the trailblazer more.

Yes you can buy a miller 10 pin femal plug then buy a 7pin plug from everlast to fit your 251. Follow the wire schematics for miller and the mts251 and make a short adapter. I have an mts 250 so I can not tell you for sure that the synergic function and pulse will work but from what I see in the 251 manual I believe it would. Personally I do not see the need for the synergic function for anything. You will need a euro adapter to hook up the 30A to the mig port .

thanks you just saved me 400 for a extra spool gun. Do you have the wireing schematic to do this?

Here is a link that has the schematics in it. http://www.everlastgenerators.com/fo...ted-to-MTS250S Kempy wired his without an adapter because he does not have any other miller equipment . You need to check your 251 manual to make sure your 251 7 pin plug is wired the same as the mts250s. If it is different then follow the schematic given in your 251 manual. A miller 10 pin aphenol plug will probably cost you $50-$75 . You can probably get the euro mig plug from Everlast. Personally I would get a Dinse plug and plug the 30A power lead into the + dinse plug then run the gas hose right to the regulator on the gas bottle.

You should be able to get a 30A and the wc-24 adapter with it on ebay for $700-$800. You will need the wc-24 to make it work with your trailblazer. Ebay also has the 10 pin female plug you need to make an adapter for your 251. I saw one on there the other day for around $40. The Dinse connectors can be purchases there also. here is one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/miller-spool...item3d031b9456
