The Kempact Pulse 3000 is a compact MIG inverter suitable for repair and installation use, and
for light and medium industrial use.
1.3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Kemppi welding devices conform to international safety standards. Safety is an important issue
in equipment design and manufacturing. Therefore, Kemppi welding solutions are unparalleled in
safety. There are, however, always certain hazards involved in using welding equipment. Therefore,
to ensure your personal safety and the safety of your working environment, carefully read the safety
instructions below and respect them.
Use of personal protective equipment
• The arc and its reflecting radiation damage unprotected eyes. Shield your eyes and
face appropriately before you start welding or observe welding. Also note the different
requirements for the darkness of the screen in the mask as the welding current changes.
• The arc radiation and spatters burn unprotected skin. Always wear protective gloves, clothing
and footwear when welding.
• Always wear hearing protection if the ambient noise level exceeds the allowable limit (e.g.,
85 dB(A)).
General operating safety
• Exercise caution when handling parts heated in welding. For example, the tip of the welding
torch, the end of the welding rod and the work piece will heat during gouging to a burning
temperature.
• Never wear the device on the shoulder during welding and never suspend it by the carrying
strap during welding.
• Do not expose the machine to high temperatures, as heat may cause damage to the
machine.
• Keep the torch cable and earthing cable as close to each other as possible throughout their
length. Straighten any loops in the cables. This minimises your exposure to harmful magnetic
elds, which may interfere with a pacemaker, for example.
• Do not wrap the cables around the body.
• In environments classied as dangerous, only use S-marked welding devices with a safe idle
voltage level. These work environments include, for example, humid, hot or small spaces
where the user may be directly exposed to the surrounding conductive pieces.
Kempact pulse 3000, Kempactcool 10 / 0813 – 3© Kemppi oy
Spatter and re safety
• Welding is always classied as hot work, so pay attention to re safety regulations during
welding and after it.
• Remember that re can break out from sparks even several hours after the welding work is
completed.
• Protect the environment from welding splatter. Remove ammable materials, such as
ammable uids, from the welding vicinity and supply the welding site with adequate re
ghting equipment.
• In special welding jobs, be prepared for hazards such as re or explosion when welding
container type work pieces.
• Never direct the spark spray or cutting spray of a grinder toward the welding machine or
ammable materials.
• Beware of hot objects or splatter falling on the machine when working above the
machine.
• Welding in ammable or explosive sites is absolutely forbidden.
General electric safety
• Only connect the welding machine to an earthed electric network.
• Note the recommended mains fuse size.
• Do not take the welding machine inside a container, vehicle or similar work piece.
• Do not place the welding machine on a wet surface and do not work on a wet surface.
• Do not allow the mains cable to be directly exposed to water.
• Ensure cables or welding torches are not squashed by heavy objects and that they are not
exposed to sharp edges or a hot work piece.
• Make sure that faulty and damaged welding torches are changed immediately as they can
be lethal and may cause electrocution or re.
• Remember that the cable, plugs and other electric devices may be installed or replaced only
by an electrical contractor or engineer authorised to perform such operations.
• Turn off the welding machine when it is not in use.
Welding power circuit
• Insulate yourself from the welding circuit by using dry and undamaged protective
clothing.
• Never touch the work piece and welding rod, welding wire, welding electrode or contact tip
at the same time.
• Do not put the welding torch or ground cable on the welding machine or other electric
equipment.
Welding fumes
• Ensure proper ventilation and avoid inhaling the fumes.
• Ensure sufcient supply of fresh air, particularly in closed spaces. You can also ensure the
supply of clean and sufcient breathing air by using a fresh-air mask.
• Take extra precautions when working on metals or surface-treated materials containing lead,
cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium.

Transportation, lifting and suspension
• Never pull or lift the machine by the welding torch or other cables. Always use the lift points
or handles designed for that purpose.
• Only use a transportation platform designed for the equipment.
• Try to transport the machine in an upright position, if possible.
• Never lift a gas cylinder and the welding machine at the same time. There are separate
provisions for gas cylinder transportation.
• Never use a welding machine when suspended unless the suspension device has been designed
and approved for that particular purpose.
• Do not exceed the maximum allowed load of suspension booms or the transportation trolley
of welding equipment.
• It is recommended that the wire coil be removed during lifting or transportation.
Environment
• Protect welding machines from heavy rain and direct sunshine even if it were suitable for
outdoor use.
• Always store the machine in a dry and clean space.
• Protect the machine from sand and dust during use and in storage.
• The recommended operating temperature range is -20 to +40 °C. The machine’s operation
efciency decreases and it becomes more prone to damage if used in temperatures in excess
of 40 °C.
• Place the machine so that it is not exposed to hot surfaces, sparks or spatter.
• Make sure the airow to and from the machine is unrestricted.
• This electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of professional equipment is usually designed for
industrial use. Such class-A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where
the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system. The machine may
interfere with sensitive home electronic devices.
Gas bottles and pneumatic devices
• Adhere to the instructions for handling pneumatic devices and gas bottles.
• Make sure that gas bottles are used and stored in properly ventilated spaces. A leaking gas
bottle may replace the oxygen in the inhaled air, causing suffocation.
• Before use, make sure that the gas bottle contains gas suitable for the intended purpose.
• Always x the gas cylinder securely in an upright position, against a cylinder wall rack or
purpose-made cylinder cart.
• Never move a protective gas bottle when the ow adjuster is in place. Put the valve cover
in place during transportation.
• Always close the gas cylinder valve after use.

2. BEFORE YOU START USING THE UNIT
2.1. UNPACKING
The equipment is packed in durable packages, designed specially for it. Nevertheless, before using
the equipment, always make sure it was not damaged during transport. Also check that you have
received what you ordered and it is accompanied by the appropriate instructions. NOTE! The
packaging material is suitable for recycling.
2.2. PLACEMENT OF THE UNIT
Place the unit on a horizontal, solid, and clean surface. Shield it from heavy rain and scorching
sun. Make sure that cooling air circulates freely.
2.3. SERIAL NUMBER
The serial number of the unit is marked on its rating plate. The serial number makes it possible to
trace product manufacturing series. You might need the serial number when placing spare parts
orders or when planning maintenance.
2.4. CONNECTION TO THE MAINS SUPPLY
The Kempact Pulse 3000 is delivered with a ve metre mains cable without a plug. Installation of
the plug should be carried out only by a competent electrician. For fuse and cable sizes, see the
technical data in the end of this document.
2.5. GROUND CABLE
Fasten the earth clamp of the return current cable carefully, preferably direct onto the piece to be
welded. The contact surface of the earth clamp should always be as large as possible.
Clean the fastening surface of paint and rust. Use at least two 35 mm² cables. Thinner cross sectional
areas may cause the connectors to overheat.

2.6. INSTALLATION OF WELDING GUN
Make sure the gun wire conduit and the contact tip match the manufacturer’s recommendations
for the type and diameter of wire you use. Too small a conduit may overload the wire feed device
and impede the wire feeding. Tighten the gun’s quick connector to eliminate voltage loss. A loose
joint will heat up the gun and wire heater.
Never use defected gun.
2.7. MOUNTING AND LOCKING OF WIRE REEL
LOCKED OPEN
– Release locking nails of wire reel hub by turning locking knob a quarter round.
– Mount the reel at its place. Note rotating direction of reel!
– Lock the reel with locking knob, locking nails of hub remain to outside position and will
lock the reel.
2.8. AUTOMATIC WIRE FEED TO GUN
Automatic wire feed makes change of wire reel more rapid. In reel change the pressure of feed
rolls need not to be released and ller wire goes automatically to correct wire line.
– Make sure that groove of feed roll matches the diameter of welding wire used.
– Release the wire end from reel and cut off the bent length. Be careful that the wire does not
spill from the reel to sides!
– Straighten about 20 cm of the wire and see that the end of it has no sharp edges (le off if
necessary). A sharp edge may damage the wire guide tube and contact tip of the welding
gun.
– Draw a bit of loose wire from wire reel. Feed wire through back liner to feed rolls. Do not
release pressure of feed rolls!
– Press the gun switch and feed a bit wire until wire goes through feed rolls to gun. See that
wire is in grooves of both feed roll pairs!
– Press still the gun switch until wire has come through contact tip.
Automatic feed may sometimes fail with thin wires (Fe, Fc, Ss: 0,6...0,8 mm, Al: 0,8...1,0 mm). In
that case you might have to open feed rolls and feed wire manually through feed rolls.
Note! Check that the wire or wire reel does not touch the equipment body, there is
a danger of short circuit
2.9. ADJUSTMENT OF PRESSURE
Adjust the pressure of the feed rolls with the control screw so that the wire is fed into the wire
guide tube evenly and allows a little braking when emerging from the contact tip, without slipping
on the feed rolls.
Excessive pressure will cause the ller wire to atten and damage its coating, as well
as undue wear and tear of the feed rolls and friction damage.
8 – Kempact pulse 3000, Kempactcool 10 / 0813 © Kemppi oy
2.10. ADJUSTMENT OF TIGHTNESS OF SPOOL BRAKE
Brake force can be adjusted through the hole in the spool hub’s locking device of spool hub by
screwing the control screw with a screwdriver. Adjust the braking force so that it is sufcient to
prevent the wire from becoming too loose on the spool and spilling when the spool stops rotating.
The greater the wire feed speed, the greater the braking force required. Do not keep the brake
unnecessarily tight, since this will impose a strain on the motor.

2.11. SHIELDING GAS
The MIG shielding gas consists of carbon dioxide, mixed gases and argon. Shielding gas ow
rate is determined by the amount of welding current. The typical ow rate of gas in the welding
steel is 8-15 l /min.
A Gas bottle valve
B Press regulation screw
C Connecting nut
D Hose spindle
E Jacket nut
F Gas bottle pressure meter
G Gas hose pressure meter
The following installation instructions are valid for
most gas ow regulator types:
1. Step aside and open the bottle valve (A) for a while to blow out possible impurities.
2. Turn the press regulation screw (B) of the regulator until no spring pressure can be felt.
3. Close the needle valve if there is one in the regulator.
4. Install the regulator onto bottle valve and tighten the connecting nut (C) with a wrench.
5. Install the hose spindle (D) and jacket nut (E) into the gas hose and tighten with a hose clamp
6. Connect the hose with the regulator and the other end with the wire feed unit.
Tighten jacket nut.
7. Open the bottle valve slowly. The gas bottle pressure meter (F) shows bottle pressure.
Note! Do not use the whole contents of the bottle. The bottle pressure should be lled when
bottle pressure is 2 bar.
8. Open the needle valve if there is one in the regulator.
9. Turn the regulation screw (B) until the hose pressure meter (G) displays the required ow
(or pressure). When regulating the ow amount, the power source should be switched on
and the "GAS PURGE" -switch pressed simultanously.
Close the bottle valve after welding is nished. If the machine will not be in use for a long time,
unscrew the pressure regulation screw.

3. OPERATION
3.1. MAIN SWITCH AND SIGNAL LIGHTS
With the switch in the ‘I’ position, the primary and control circuits of the machine become live
and the ‘ON’ signal light on the panel lights up. The welding circuit receives voltage when the gun
switch is operated or when the wire feed test switch is pressed. Always use the main switch to turn
the machine on and off with the main switch; do not use the power plug for this purpose.
3.2. TO SELECT POLARITY FOR WELDING
Solid wire is usually welded in the +pole and gasfree ller wires in the - pole gun. When welding
with other ller wires, check for the recommended polarity on the package or consult the supplier
of the product. The welding of very thin steelplates (0.5 to 0.7 mm) a - polarity might also work
best for solid wire.
3.2.1. Changing the polarity
- pole
+ pole
Only a service shop authorised by Kemppi may change the polarity.

3.3. PANEL
3.3.1. Choosing start switch function
MIG welding by 4-function start switch, MIG 4T
MIG welding by 2 function start switch, MIG 2T
3.3.2. Choosing the welding method
Normal MIG/MAG welding:
with a separate wire feed and voltage regulation can be chosen in the 1-MIG position.
Curve number “00” provides a free wire feed range between 1-18 m/min. The voltage
can be set between special pre-programmed limits depending on the wire feed. Curve
number “01” wire feed speed and voltage are not depended on each other. When curve
“01” is selected, the wire feed speed and voltage will be independent of one another.
Synergic MIG/MAG welding (1-MIG)
Synergic MIG/MAG welding (1-MIG): MIG welding in which the wire feed speed
determines all the other welding parameter values, allowing the adjustment of welding
power with a single knob. Choose the appropriate synergy curve for the ller wire and
shielding gas to determine how the wire feed speed affects the pulse parametres.
Synergic Pulse MIG welding:
through this welding method, based on pulsing the welding current, the ller metal on the
workpiece is kept spatter-free. The power source pulse parameters change automatically
(synergy) enabling welding power regulation using a single knob. Choose the appropriate
synergy curve for the ller wire and shielding gas to determine how the wire feed speed
affects the pulse parametres.
Double pulse:
the wire feed will become higher or lower according to the wire feed range. While the
synergic welding parameters change to correspond to the momentary wire speed. The
purpose is to get a goodlooking weld and a proper penetration while improving the
controllability of the weld pool during position welding.

3.3.3. Selecting 1-mig/pulse mig synergy curves
The program number of the synergy curve is selected using the plus-minus buttons and is displayed
on "SYNERGIC PRG".
The middle display is actual material group display (eg. SS, AL, CUS, FE, GEN). Wire diameter
(mm) can be seen on the right side. This information will only be displayed for a while.
The “PRG INFO” button gives more curve information:
One press will revert to the material group and diameter display, a second will display the type
number of the material and a third run through the gas consistency components one by one.

The spot time is set immediately after pressing the switch button, on the display SPt.
The pause time is set accordingly, on the PSE display. The time is set using the Process
Manager.
3.3.6. Adjustment of welding dynamics
For adjusting of MIG/MAG welding dynamics, the adjustment value dyn -9...0...9 is
displayed. The welding stability and quantity of spatter are affected by the welding
dynamics control, the 0-position is the recommended reference range. Values -9...-1
give a smoother arc and less spatter, while values 1...9 give a rougher arc and increased
stability, when using a 100% CO² shielding gas when welding steel.
3.3.7. Remote control
Gun control, wire feed speed or welding power control is changed using RMT 10.
Control of the welding voltage or the length of the welding arc can be adjusted using

Changing parameters
By pressing the 2T/4T (SETUP) selection switch a little longer the machine will enter the SETUP
state. The display will show the set parameter’s runnning number (blinking), its abbreviation and
value. Select the parameter number using the “SYNERGIC PRG” + and - buttons or the “SETUP”
button (which will jump by tens). Change the value using the control button (in some cases, the
value can be found from the synergy curve). “Syn” and the curve value will blink by turns on the
right of the display. Set the value by turning the button anticlockwise.
Exit for SETUP using a long press.
Frequency and amplitude of double pulse can be set in the separate ‘SET’ mode, obtained by rst
pressing the 2T/4T (SETUP) and, without releasing it, the method button. “dFr” and the frequency
in Hz will be displayed. “Syn” will appear if the frequency is based on synergy curves. Change this
value by turning the control button anticlockwise. Press it twice to display “dA” i.e. the amplitude
(m/min). Adjust this accordingly and exit SETUP by pressing any button other than SETUP.
3.3.13. Error codes
Error codes are among others the following:
Err 3: Overvoltages in the mains supply. Also the pilot light of overvoltage is lighting.
Err 4: The thermal protection of power suorce has stopped welding. Also the pilot light of
thermal protection is lighting.
Err 5: The cooling device has stopped welding.
Err 6: The terminal voltage has rised. Take the device to service.
Err 153: Liquid cooled PMT- or WS-gun is overheated. Or torch-PTC or RMT10 has beeb installed,
but the jumber inside the torch is in FU-position, look also instruction of torch.
Err 154: Overloading of the wire feed motor
Error code is eliminated when the reason is aborted, except Err 6, which demands to turn down
the machine.
3.4. COOLING UNIT OPERATION (KEMPACTCOOL 10)
The operation of cooling units KempactCool 10 is
controlled by the power source. The cooling unit pump
starts automatically when welding starts. Proceed as
follows:
1. Start power source.
2. Check water level and input ow of the reservoir, add
liquid if needed.
3. If you use a water-cooled gun you can ll it with
cooling liquid by pressing TEST-button (on cooling
unit).
The pump operates for 5 another minutes after welding has
been nished to cool the liquid to the same temperature
as in the machine surrounds. This reduces the need of
service.
Thermal overload
The thermal overload light is lit, the machine stops and display shows Err 5 when temperature
control of the machine has detected cooling water overheating. The cooling unit fan cools down
the water, and when the light goes out welding can be started again.
Water ow signal
Display shows Err 5 when water ow is blocked.

4. MAINTENANCE
4.1. DAILY MAINTENANCE
Be careful of mains voltage when handling electric cables!
Clean the wire channel of the gun and check the contact tip regularly. Always check the condition
of the mains and welding cable before operation and replace defective cables.
Note! Only a qualied electrician should remove or install the mains cable!
4.2. REGULAR MAINTENANCE
KEMPPI -service workshops sign special service contracts with customers for regular maintenance.
All parts are cleaned, checked and if necessary, repaired. The operation of the welding machine
is also tested.
4.3. DISPOSAL OF THE MACHINE
