1.2 About FastMig X 350 and X 450

FastMig X 350 and X 450 are multi-purpose welding power sources designed for demanding professional use. They are suitable for synergic pulsed MIG/MAG, synergic 1-MIG and basic MIG/MAG welding, as well as the modied WiseRoot+™ and WiseThin+™ processes. They can also be used as a welding power source for MMA welding. TIG welding is also available when connected to MasterTig LT 250.

Control panel X 37 is included in the delivery for selecting, setting and managing the welding system prior to and during system use.

FastMig X 350 and X 450 oer a multi-process solution for a wide range of welding applications. Various cable options, welding software options, remote control units including tablet computer based ARC Mobile Control (adapter included with WFX 200 AMC and 300 AMC wire feeders) and other accessories are available for this product. Please see the list at the end of this manual.

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 Before use

The product is packed in specially designed transport cartons. However, before use always make sure the products have not been damaged during transportation.

Check also that you have received the components you ordered and the corresponding instruction manuals. Product packaging material is recyclable.

NOTE! When moving the welding machine, always lift it from the handle, never pull it from the

welding gun or other cables.

Operating environment

This machine is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Always make sure that the air ow to the machine is unrestricted. The recommended operating temperature range is –20…+40°C.

Please ensure you read the safety instructions concerning operating environments supplied in this manual.

2.2 Distribution network

All regular electrical devices without special circuits generate harmonic currents into distribution network. High rates of harmonic current may cause losses and disturbance to some equipment.

FastMig X 350 and X 450

This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-12 provided that the short-circuit power Ssc is greater than or equal to 5.5 MVA at the interface point between the user’s supply and the public suply network. It is the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the distribution network operator if necessary, that the equipment is connected only to a supply with a short-circuit power Ssc greater than or equal to 5.5 MVA.

2.4 Positioning of the machine

Place the machine on a sturdy, level surface that is dry and does not allow dust or other impurities to enter the machines cooling air ow. Preferably site the machine to a suitable carriage unit so it is above oor level.

Notes for positioning the machine

• The surface inclination may not exceed 15 degrees.

• Ensure the free circulation of the cooling air. There must be at least 20 cm of free space in

front of and behind the machine for cooling air circulation.

• Protect the machine against heavy rain and direct sunshine.

NOTE! The machine is not allowed to be operated in the rain as the protection class of the machine,

IP23S, allows preserving and storing outside only.

NOTE! Never aim the spray of sparks from a grinding machine toward the equipment.

2.5 Connecting cables

NOTE! Always check before use that the mains cable, earth return cable and its clamp,

interconnection cable and shielding gas hose are in a serviceable condition. Ensure that connectors are correctly fastened. Lose connectors can impair welding performance and damage connectors.

2.5.3 Cable positions for multiple machine congurations

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 qualied 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.

L1 L2 L3

*) 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.
