1.2 About FastMig AS product

FastMig AS panel can be installed to all FastMig M power sources using installation kit. After
this, FastMig M is a multi-purpose welding power source designed for demanding professional
use. It is suitable for synergic 1-MIG and basic MIG/MAG welding, as well as the modied
Wise™ processes. It can also be used as a welding power source for MMA welding. TIG welding
is also available, when connected to MasterTig LT 250. FastMig M with AS kit is compatible
with MXF and ArcFeed wire feeders for MIG/MAG welding.

2. FUNCTIONS OF AS PANEL

ON/OFF button

MIG dynamics / MMA Arc Force adjustment

• When CV is selected, parameter name ’dYn’ and the adjustable value between -9 ... 9 are shown

• When CC/MMA is selected, parameter name ’Arc’ and the adjustable value between -9 ... 9 are

shown

• In MXF mode the dynamics cannot be adjusted with the AS panel and ’--- ---’ is shown. In this case
the adjustment is done through the wire feeder panel

CC/MMA = Constant current mode. Selection with a long press. Selected when operated with ArcFeed
with CC-mode or MMA welding

MXF mode = Use with MSF or MXF feeders
CV mode = Constant Voltage. Selected when operating with ArcFeed CV-mode

• In CC/MMA mode the current can be adjusted with the remote

• In CV mode the voltage can be adjusted with the remote

FastMig AS

MIG/MAG welding

FastMig AS is designed for MIG/MAG welding with either the Kemppi ArcFeed voltage sensing
wire feed unit, or FastMig series MSF and MXF wire feeding units. When using MSF or MXF
wire feed units, connect the unit and select the MXF mode from the AS panel. For further
information see MSF or MXF manuals.

When you use the ArcFeed voltage sensing wire feed unit, you must select either CC or CV
(Constant Current or Constant Voltage) mode from the AS control panel. Ensure that the
ArcFeed control panel has been set to correspond with the power source control panel. For
example if power source is set to CC mode, the ArcFeed should also be set to CC mode. In CV
mode FastMig AS has two welding programs for ArcFeed welding: one for self shielding ller
wires and the other for standard cored and solid ller wires. The welding program can be
changed in SETUP function.

It is possible to connect MSF or MXF and ArcFeed feeders to FastMig M power source with AS
panel simultaneously. For example, this can be an ecient combination when using Kemppi
WiseRoot process for root pass welding and then completing hot pass and ller runs with
ArcFeed system using self-shielded ller wire.

MMA welding

FastMig M with AS panel is also suitable for MMA welding with basic or rutile electrodes. MMA
welding works with CC (Constant current) mode set from the AS panel.

NOTE! In CC/MMA mode FastMig AS has two welding programs: one for ArcFeed CC welding and

the other for MMA welding. The desired welding program can be chosen from the AS ‘SETUP’
function.

EN

TIG welding

By connecting MasterTig LT 250 to FastMig M with AS panel, TIG welding can be done. You
must select either CC or CV (Constant Current or Constant Voltage) mode from the AS control
panel.

3. FASTMIG ERROR CODES

The existence of possible faults in the equipment is investigated in connection with each
wire feed unit start-up. If a fault is detected, the fault in question will be indicated as an ’Err’
message on the panel display.

Error code examples:

Err 2: Undervoltage

The device has stopped because it has detected a mains undervoltage that disturbs welding.
Check the quality of the supply network.

Err 3: Overvoltage

The device has stopped because dangerously high temporary voltage surges or a continuous
over-voltage has been detected in the electric network. Check the quality of the supply
network.

Err 4: Power source is overheated

The power source has overheated. The cause may be one of the following:

• The power source has been used for a long time at maximum power.

• The circulation of cooling air to the power source is blocked.

• The cooling system has experienced a failure.

Remove any obstacle to air circulation, and wait until the power source fan has cooled down
the machine.

Err 5: Water unit alarm

The water circulation is blocked. The cause may be one of the following:

• Congestion or disconnection in the cooling pipeline

• Insucient cooling liquid

• Excessive cooling liquid temperature

Check the circulation of the cooling liquid and the air circulation of the water unit.

Err 54: No data communication from power source

The data transmission between the power source and the wire feed unit has been cut o or is
defective. Check the extension lead and connections.

Err 55: Power source is busy

The communication channel is busy. The power source is being used by another wire feed unit
or the programming for some other device in the channel (e.g. control panel) is in progress.

Err 61: The water unit is not found

Water unit is not connected to the equipment or there is a connection fault.
Connect up the water unit or change the setting of the unit to air-cooled, if you are using a

air-cooled welding gun

Err 153: Overheating of liquid-cooled PMT gun

When starting to weld or during welding, the overheat protection on the liquid-cooled MIG
welding gun has activated. Check that there is sucient liquid in the cooling unit and that
air is circulating freely through it. Ensure that liquid is circulating freely through the cooling
hoses.

Err 154: Overloading of the wire feed motor

The welding has been interrupted because the loading of the wire feed motor has risen to
a high level. The cause of this could be a blockage of the wire line. Check the wire conduit,
contact tip and feed rolls.

Err 155: Warning of the wire feed unit overloading

The wire feed motor load level has risen. The cause could be dirty wire conduits or a gun cable
twisted into sharp curves. Check the state of the gun and clean the wire line if necessary

Err 165: Gas guard alarm

Gas guard function has worked, because the pressure of gas has decreased. Possibly reasons:
Gas is unconnected to the wire feeder. Gas has been ran out, gas hose is leaking or there is no
pressure enough in the gas web. Connect the gas to the wire feeder, check gas hose and the
pressure of the gas web.

FastMig AS

Err 171: Conguration not found for the device

The equipment’s internal data transmission has been cut o. The optional features cannot be
used. Turn o the machine, detach the welding gun and re-start the machine. If an error code
does not appear in the display, the fault lies in the welding gun. If this error code pertains,
contact maintenance.

Err 172: A wrong conguration code has been supplied

License activation with DataGun has failed. Turn o the machine, detach DataGun and restart
the machine. Reconnect DataGun. If this error code recurs, contact maintenance.

Err 201: Use of PMT gun is prevented

You try to use the PMT welding gun, but the necessary settings have not been entered into
the machine’s control panel. Select ‘PMT gun’ from the control panel SETUP menu, if you wish
to use it. This fault can also occur with other guns, if the trigger contacts are bad or dirty.

Err 221: Two wire feeders connected with the same device address.

Two wire feed units have the same device address. Dene dierent addresses for the devices
as follows:

1. Press any button on either control panel (except the ESC button). “Add” (Device Address)
is displayed.

2. Change the device address using the right-hand control knob.

3. Return to normal status by pressing again any button on the control panel.

The machines will return to normal status within 15 seconds.

Other error codes:

The machine can show codes not listed here. In the event of an unlisted code appearing,
contact an authorised Kemppi service agent and report the error code shown.
