DIGITAL MODEL INSTRUCTIONS 

                                                                     Thank You for choosing Black Widow Welding Remotes! 

                                                                                                    CHARGING : 

      After receiving your Wireless Remote Kit, it is recommended to Charge the Hand Remote, Receiver and Keyfob for a minimum of 6 hours, however charging overnight will ensure full capacity. It is also recommended to charge them once daily after using for extended periods of time. Continuous use of the remotes will use more battery capacity and it is very important to take proper care to ensure a long battery life. 

                                                                                       

 

                                                                                                 CALIBRATION: 

AMPERAGE RANGE: 

1) ******* SET THE MACHINE TO MAXIMUM AND LEAVE IT ******************* 

2) After connecting the Receiver to the Welding Machine, Press the Top switch to Power on. 

3) Power on the Hand Remote and allow enough time to reach the Home Screen. 

4) Hold down the Control Knob for approximately 5 seconds until you reach the “Set Min Val”  Screen. 

5) **The machine will Automatically go to its Lowest setting, Match the machine with “SET MIN VAL”, press the knob. 

6) ** The machine will Automatically go to its Highest setting, Match the machine with “SET MAX VAL”. 

7) ** Press the Control Knob one last time to reach “Calibration Complete”, assuring that the Welding Machine dial is still set to Maximum. It is very important to leave the machine at its highest, as it acts like a Water Dam....it cannot flow at full potential if it is anything less than at its max, and Re-Calibration will be needed.  

8)********After the “Calibration Complete” page clears, you will see the screen say 600 AMPS, that is completely normal, all you need to do is roll the dial down 1 number and back up, the screen will automatically reset itself to the highest value that you set. **************** 

9) ** Make a few sweeps from LOW to HIGH stopping at a random number to check Calibration, if it is not within 1%, Restart Calibration Method. Due to so many factors in the field, it is common to see 1-2 amp difference from machine to receiver. 

                                                                                         

 

                                                                                           SLEEP MODE : 

HAND REMOTE: 

    The Hand Remote display will “Go to sleep” after approximately 10 seconds of not using the control knob, however, not to worry, the remote is still transmitting/connected the entire time. To “Wake up” the Display, simply turn the control knob or press the center of the control knob. 

KEYFOB: 

     The Keyfob is designed to go into “Deep Sleep” after 20 minutes of no use. To “Wake up” the Keyfob, simply press the Left(Down) button and allow the Keyfob enough time to reconnect to the Hand Remote. If using the Keyfob in Pipeline use and need fast response, keep the remote “Awake” by pressing any button to prevent going into sleep mode while welding. The “Sleep Mode” is implemented to control battery discharge and ensure longer battery life between charge times. 

RECEIVER: 

    The Receiver is one half the brains of the operation and does the most work, so it is very important to take special care of it to ensure it stays working hard for you. To power on...simply press the button switch located on the top of the box. There is a 4 bar Battery level indicator located on the front face plate of the receiver that gives you a battery percentage. It is recommended to fully charge the receiver after every use to ensure stable voltage capacity for the most range and battery life.  

 

CONTACTOR SWITCH: 

     The Contactor Switch is located on the right side of the Receiver box. If your Remote is connected and have full movement of the amperage readout but no output on your leads, the contactor switch will need to be turned on. THIS CONTACTOR SWITCH MUST BE PRESSED IN WHEN CONNECTED TO ANY MILLER XMT MACHINE!!! If the machine has a “Remote” or “Local/Panel” switch...the contactor switch can be On or Off according to which one you choose respectively. 

                                                                                                       CONNECTORS : 

    

RECEIVER : 

     To attach 7 pin connector to the Receiver, carefully line the tabs with the female plug and give it a slight push inward towards the Receiver, once inserted, turn the collar clockwise until lightly finger tight only.  

 *** TAKE SPECIAL CARE NOT TO PULL THE CONNECTOR BY THE WIRE OR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR *** 

 

CONNECTOR TO MACHINE: 

     It is your responsibility to ensure the machine remote receptacle is exactly like the connector to be used. For example.... a Miller 14 Pin plug with the tab “Clocked” to pins A&J is not compatible with a Red-D-Arc 14 pin because most are “Clocked” to X and damage will occur if forced into place. Special connectors are built to be compatible with different machines and uses.  

     

Proper inspection of the receptacle is a must!! If you find any flaws or damage to the machine receptacle, do not use it as it may cause damage to your receiver. If the receptacle has Dirt, Grease, Grime, etc. inside.... you may use a Q-Tip, Aerosol Air Duster, or FILTERED Air Blower to clean the pins to ensure a good connection.  For a long working life, it is important to keep any Dirt, Grease, Metal Shavings, Metal Dust, etc. from getting inside the pins/connectors. If this does occur, please clean the pins as described. 

 

    **** VERY IMPORTANT NOTE...DO NOT CONNECT THE MILLER 14 PIN TO A LINCOLN WELDER WITH A 14 PIN LOCATED ON THE MACHINE!!!!! THE 14 PIN ON A LINCOLN IS DESIGNED FOR A WIRE FEEDER ONLY AND THE PINS DO NOT MATCH THE ORIGINAL MILLER 14 PIN!!! PLEASE USE THE LINCOLN 6 PIN CONNECTION TO THE MACHINE ONLY!!!************ 

      

                                                                                                         PAIRING: 

 HAND REMOTE TO RECEIVER: 

    1) Connect the applicable connector to be used into the machine ensuring a good connection.  

    2) Power on the Receiver and place as high as possible on the Machine/Frame in a clear line of sight if possible.  

    3) Power on the Hand Remote and when you get to the Home Screen it will be blank at the top left of the screen, that is normal,  once you turn the knob, the signal bars will appear to show signal strength. 

 

 

KEYFOB TO HAND REMOTE: 

     1) Power on the Hand Remote, allowing enough time to Host a connection port for the Keyfob to connect to the Hand Remote. 

     2) Press the Left(Down) button to “Wake up” the Keyfob and allow enough time to properly connect to the Hand Remote being mindful of the Keyfob sleep timer. If it does not connect, power off the Hand Remote to reset the connection and repeat the process. 

CRATER-OUT 

    Crater-out was designed to be used while tig welding to prevent fisheyes and crater cracks from excessive heat input. Like myself, i like to weld a little hotter to ensure i get enough penetration and speed up the process, however that comes with consequences if not done properly. To activate Crater-Out, simply hold the left down button on the keyfob and it will diminish all the way to the machines minimum so you can “snap” out of your puddle without a fisheye, when you release the button, it will automatically go back to the original amps you were at before 

HOTSTART 

     Hotstart is exactly as described, it is a Hotstart when stick welding to give you more amps for a better tie-in. To setup Hotstart, simply press both keyfob buttons  quickly at the same time, set your desired amps, press both buttons quickly again to save it. Now when you are ready, simply hold the up button down and it will go to your hotstart amps, once released, it goes back to your original amps. Set your keyfob Original amps where you would like to weld BEFORE pressing the hotstart.
