2.4 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.
Kempact Pulse 3000:
WARNING: This equipment does not comply with IEC 61000-3-12. If it is connected to a public
low voltage system, 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 may
be connected.
2.5 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.
2.6 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.
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.
NOTE! Never use defected gun.
2.9 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
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 o 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
o 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
2.11 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
NOTE! 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.
EN
2.12 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 sucient
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.

2.13 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.
Parts of gas ow regulator
A
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.
NOTE! Always fasten the gas cylinder securely in an upright position on a wall rack intended for the
purpose or on a cylinder cart. Always close the cylinder valve after you have nished welding.
NOTE! Only an authorised electrician is allowed to install electrical connection!

Filling the reservoir:
Fill the reservoir with a 20 – 40 % mixture of etanol and water, or with any other suitable
antifreeze. The capacity of the reservoir is 3 litres.
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 o 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.
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 aects the pulse parametres.
10
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
aects 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.
Display for welding current and welding material thickness. Changing can be made using the
button behind the display. There is a percentage display (eg. gas consistency) and seconds
display (see timer). The relative length of arc will be displayed when adjusted. Otherwise the
predicted current value is displayed (not in 2-MIG).
Process Manager™ for setting all welding parameters.
The display for wire feed speed, welding voltage or material group. This can be switched using
the button under the display (wire feed speed/length of arc). The voltage can be adjusted
in the normal and 1-MIG position (wire feed range/the length of arc). During pulse welding
the voltage is determined by the wire feed speed while the length of arc aects some other
parameters.
12
When pressed simultaneously, the weld data buttons recall the wire feed speed on the display,
the welding voltage and welding current values which have been used when welding was
stopped.
3.3.5 Timer
intermittent welding
spot welding
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 aected 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.
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 the potentiometer
on the panel. Panel control, adjustments using the potentiometer on the panel.

3.3.8 MIG extra functions
Crater lling, 1-MIG and pulse MIG:
Crater lling reduces welding mistakes caused by end craters. By pressing the 4T-trigger
continuously at the end of weld, a descending welding power is achieved which lls end
craters in a controlled manner. The descending time is kept constant using the 2T function,
and the welding power and end level can be changed using the SETUP-function.
The Hot Start function is used with 1-MIG and pulse MIG welding. The Hot Start time by 4T
Hot Start time is determined by trigger function (see picture) and while by 2T function it
is determined by the SETUP parameters. The level of Hot Start can be changed by SETUP
function.
The Hot Start level, Hot Start time by 2T, crater ll level and downslope time can be easily
adjusted using the ‘QUICK SETUP’ function:
1. Select the gun trigger function: 4T or 2T.
2. First, press the SETUP button and then , while still pressing the SETUP button, press the
extra function button.
3. Adjust the Hot Start level.
4. Repeat step 2, upon which the display will show the next adjustable parameter,
depending on the switch mode.

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:
• Start power source.
• Check water level and input ow of the reservoir, add liquid if needed.
• 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.
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.
