WELD UNIT METER CERTIFICATION PROCEDURE

1. Voltage readings shall be taken at the output studs of unit under test. Voltage readings shall be
taken at open circuit
A. Voltmeter Certification
voltage with the Fluke 45.
2. Verify that welder voltmeter reading is within + or - 10% of standard meter reading. (If
adjustment is required, see
Technical manual for each make and model.)
3. Take readings at 10 volt intervals from min to max open circuit voltage.
4. Record data on a Calibration Data Sheet
1. Put certified shunt in series with Miller Load Bank #043329 and the output of unit under test.
B. Ammeter Certification
2. Monitor output of shunt with Fluke 45.
3. Verify that welder ammeter reading is within + or - 10% of standard meter reading. (If
adjustment is required, see technical manual for each make and model.
4. Take readings at 100 amp intervals from 100 amps to max amperage output of unit under test.
5. Record data on a Certification Calibration Data Sheet
1. Fill out Certificate of Calibration form.
C. Certificate
2. Fill out a Certification sticker. Place sticker on front panel of unit under test.
3. Customer receives the original Certificate of Calibration.
4. File a copy of the Certificate, along with a copy of the order inquiry, and all of the completed
data sheets.

WIRE FEED METER CERTIFICATION PROCEDURE
A. Inch Per Minute (IPM) Meter Certification
1. Disengage drive rolls so wire will not feed. Actuate the drive rolls by pressing the jog switch.
2. Use a digital tachometer to determine the RPM of the drive roll.
3. Take readings at 200 IPM intervals from 700 to 100 IPM.
4. Multiply the RPM by the nominal circumference of the drive roll (5.128) to determine Inches Per
Minute.
5. Verify that the IPM Meter is within +/- 5% of the primary standard meter reading. If
adjustment is required, see the Technical Manual.
6. Record data on a Calibration Data Sheet
B. Certificate
1. Fill out Certificate of Calibration form
2. Fill out a Certification sticker. Place sticker on front panel of unit under test.
3. Customer receives the original Certificate of Calibration.
4. File a copy of the Certificate, along with a copy of the order inquiry, and all of the completed
data sheets.
