2.5.3 Cable positions for multiple machine congurations
When using two or more FastMig X units working on the same work piece, the right
positioning of voltage sensing cable and the earth return cable is important.
In order for the voltage sensing function to work properly, the earth return cable and the
voltage sensing cable for each FastMig X power source should be connected close to each
other and away from other units’ cables (see the pictures below).
2.5.4 Connecting to mains power
FastMig power sources are delivered as standard with 5 meters of mains power cable. No
mains plug is tted at the Kemppi factory.
NOTE! If local country-based regulations state an alternative power cable is required, the mains
cable must be replaced in conformity with the regulations. Connection and installation of the
mains cable and plug should only be carried out by a suitably qualied person.
Remove the machine cover plate to enable mounting of a mains cable. FastMig X 350 and
X 450 power sources can be connected to the mains supply of 400 V 3~ .
If changing the mains cable take into consideration the following:
The cable is entered into the machine through the inlet ring on the rear panel of the machine
and fastened with a cable clamp (05). The phase conductors of the cable are coupled to
connectors L1, L2 and L3. The earth protection coloured green-yellow is coupled to the
marked connector.
If you are using 5-lead cable, do not connect the neutral conductor.

*) In S type cables there is a protective grounding conductor coloured green-yellow.
Generator use
If no mains connection is available, you can use FastMig X 350 and X 450 on a generator. The
minimum recommended generator output is 35 kVA. The greater the output, the more stable
is the FastMig X power source operation.

FastMig X 350, X 450
2.5.5 Cables
Kemppi always recommend the use of high quality copper cables with a suitable crosssectional area. Cable size should be selected depending on the intended welding application.
50 mm² copper cables may be used for low duty work in basic or synergic 1-MIG. However,
using pulsed MIG/MAG process, longer cables, or higher welding power increase the voltage
loss, and therefore smaller cross sectional interconnection cables and earth return cables will
restrict the welding performance of your machine.
Recommended cross-sectional area of FastMig X power source cables: 70 – 90 mm².
The enclosed table shows typical load capacities and voltage loss values of rubber insulated
copper cables for duty cycles 100%, 60% and 30%, when ambient temperature is 25 °C and
the cable temperature is 85 °C.

Do not overload the cables due to voltage losses and heating.
NOTE! Always check the serviceability of the earth return cable and clamp. Ensure the metal
surface to which the cable is connected is clean from metal oxide or paint. Check the connector to
the power source is fastened correctly.

2.5.6 Interconnection with wire feeder
Kemppi provide a choice of interconnection cable sets for dierent environments. Only
materials that meet the demands of Kemppi's international markets are used in their
construction.
Used correctly, Kemppi cable sets ensure high welding performance and serviceability.
Before use, always ensure the cable set is in good condition and that connectors are correctly
fastened. Loose connections reduce welding performance and may result in damage to
connectors due to heating eects.
For correct connection and conguration of cable sets, please refer to schematic drawings in
section 2.5 of this manual.
NOTE! FastMig X 350 and X 450 power sources are designed to be used with WFX wire feed units.
When you turn the on/o switch into position I, the pilot warning lamp is illuminated and the
machine is ready for use. Always turn the machine on and o with the power source mains
switch. Never use the mains plugs as a switch.
3.2 Pilot lamps
The pilot lamps of the machine report its operational state:
When the green pilot lamp is on, it indicates that the machine is switched on and ready for
use.
When the orange pilot lamp is on, it indicates that the machine is overheated due to higher
than normal working loads that exceed the rated duty cycle. The cooling fan will continue to
run and cool the machine down. When the lamp is o the machine is again ready to weld.
3.3 Operation of cooling fan
FastMig X power sources incorporate two simultaneously operating fans.
• The fan is started momentarily when the main switch is turned into position I.
• The fan will start during welding as the machine reaches operational temperature, and
it will run for 1 to 10 minutes after the welding has stopped, depending on the welding
cycle completed.
3.4 Manual Metal Arc Welding

4.5 Arc voltage display
FastMig X is capable of measuring and showing the voltage close to the welding arc. By taking
this feature into use you don't need to be concerned about the voltage losses in welding
cables anymore. With this feature you are only required to set the voltage for the arc before
welding and after welding you can see the voltage close to the arc.
In order to use the arc voltage feature, follow these steps:
1. After setting up the welding equipment for the rst time, connect the voltage sensing
cable to the welding piece and the measurement cable between the wire feeder and the
power source.
2. If you are using a sub-feeder, enter the length of the sub-feeder to the SubFeederLength
parameter.
3. Set the welding parameters according to your application. Note that the set voltage
when using 1-MIG, MIG and WiseThin+ welding processes means always the voltage in
the arc despite of ArcVoltage setting.
4. Weld with 1-MIG, MIG or with Pulse MIG for at least 5 seconds. During that time the
welding machine calibrates itself for the welding cable length in question. Calibration
values are stored into the welding machine, therefore this calibration is required only
once after installing the welding machine package.
5. If you want to see arc voltage in panels during and after welding, turn the ArcVoltage
setting to ON. Dot after voltage value in XF 37 or XF 38 panel means that showed value is
arc voltage. In the weld data after welding in X 37 panel 'AVol' means also the arc voltage.
6. Voltage sensing cable can be removed after the calibration procedure, but it is
recommended to use it always.
NOTE! Steps 1-3 should be repeated every time, when the length of the welding or grounding cable
is changed.
Factory PIN code is 0000Administrator pin code change.
OFF: No PIN code inquiry.
StartUp: Control panel X 37 always asks for
the PIN code when the machine is turned
on. Wire feeder panel XF 37 (or XF 38) is not
aected and always works without PIN.
Menu: Control panel X 37 asks for the PIN
code every time when MENU button is
pressed and when the display is in channel
info mode (in start-up view). PIN code
inquiry is made only once when entering
the menu. After that the menu button can
be pressed any time without PIN inquiry.

If the machine malfunction cannot be corrected with these measures, contact your Kemppi
maintenance service workshop.
Operation of the overload protection
Yellow thermal protection lamp is lit when the thermostat is operating due to loading beyond
the stated duty cycle.
The thermostat will operate, if machine is continuously loaded over rated values or cooling air
circulation is blocked.
Internal fans will cool the machine, and when the pilot lamp is not lit the machine is
automatically ready for welding.
Control fuses
Fuse, 6.3 A delayed, on the rear wall of machine provides protection for auxiliary devices.
Use the same type and rating of fuse as marked beside the fuse adapter. Damage caused by
incorrect fuse selection is not covered by the guarantee.
Under and over voltages in the mains supply
Primary circuits of the machine are protected against sudden, transient overvoltages. The
machine is designed to withstand 3 x 440 V voltage continuously. Ensure that voltage is kept
within this permissible limit, especially when the mains supply is provided by a combustion
engine generator. If the mains has under voltage (under approx. 300 V) or overvoltage (over
approx. 480 V) machine control stops operation automatically.
Loss of a phase in the mains supply
Loss of a mains power phase causes noticeably poor welding properties. In some cases the
machine won't start at all. Loss of a phase can be due to following:
• Blowing of mains supply fuse
• Defective mains cable
• Bad connection of mains power cable on machine terminal block or plug of machine.

Correct operation of the machine and regular maintenance will help you avoid unnecessary
downtime and equipment failure.
NOTE! Disconnect the machine from the mains before handling the electrical cables.
7.1 Daily maintenance
• Check the overall condition of the welding gun. Remove welding spatter from the
contact tip and clean the gas nozzle. Replace worn or damaged parts. Only use original
Kemppi spare parts.
• Check the condition and connection of the welding circuit components: welding gun,
earth return cable and clamp, sockets and connectors.
• Check the condition of the feed rolls, needle bearings and shafts. Clean and lubricate
bearings and shafts with a small quantity of light machine oil if necessary. Assemble,
adjust and test function.
• Check that the feed rolls are suitable for the ller wire you are using, and that their
pressure adjustment is correct.
7.2 Periodic maintenance
NOTE! Periodic maintenance should only be carried out by a suitably qualied person. Disconnect
the plug of the machine from the mains socket and wait about 2 minutes (capacitor charge) before
removing the cover plate.
Check at least every half year:
• Electric connectors of the machine – clean any oxidized parts and tighten loose
connections.
NOTE! You must know the correct tension torques values before starting the reparation of the loose
joints.
Clean the inner parts of the machine from dust and dirt e.g. with a soft brush and vacuum
cleaner. Also clean the ventilation net behind the front grill.
Do not use compressed air, there is a risk that the dirt will compact even more tightly into
gaps of cooling proles.
Do not use pressure washing devices.
Only an authorized trained electrician should carry out repairs to Kemppi machines.
Kemppi Service Workshops complete maintenance according to their Kemppi service
agreement.
The major points in the maintenance procedure are listed as follows:
• Cleaning of the machine
• Checking and maintenance of the welding tools
• Checking of connectors, switches and potentiometers
• Checking of electric connections
• Checking of mains cable and plug
• Damaged parts or parts in bad condition are replaced by new ones
• Maintenance testing.
• Operation and performance values of the machine are checked, and when necessary
adjusted by means of software and test equipment.
