3. OPERATION CONTROL SWITCHES AND POTENTIOMETERS

3.1 Main switch I/O

When you turn the switch into I-position, pilot lamp H11 on the front face is illuminated and
the machine is ready for use.

NOTE! Always turn the machine on and o with the mains switch, never use the mains plugs as a

switch.

3.2 Pilot lamps

The pilot lamps of the machine report the electric operation:
The green pilot lamp H11 when lit indicates that the machine is on and ready for use and it is

connected to the mains supply with the main switch in the I-position.
H12 indicates when lit that the thermal protection of the machine has been activated due to

over heating. The cooling fan will continue to run and cool the machine down and when the
lamp is o the machine is ready to weld.

EN

3.3 Operation of cooling fan

In FastMig power sources there are two simultaneously operating fans.

• The fan is started for a moment when main switch is placed into position I.

• The fan will start during welding as the machine heats up and it will run for 1 to 10

minutes after the welding has stopped.

4. MANUAL METAL ARC WELDING

The FastMig power source can be used in electrode welding by connecting a FastMig
MXF 63, MXF 65 or MXF 67 wire feeder to it. The power source can be made suitable for
electrode welding without a wire feeder by connecting an R10 or R20 remote control to the
X14 or X15 terminal at the back of the power source for welding current adjustment, and the
welding power cable connected to the power source’s (+) connector X11 or X12.

6. OPERATION DISTURBANCES

In the event of a failure of the machine, contact an authorised Kemppi service agent or your
local Kemppi dealer.

Check the maintenance objects before the machine is sent to the Service Workshop.

6.1 Operation of the overload protection

Yellow pilot lamp H12 of thermal protection is lit when thermostat has operated due to
overheating of machine.

The thermostat of machine will operate, if machine is continuously loaded over rated values or
cooling air circulation is blocked.

Cooling fan cools down the machine and when the pilot lamp is not lit the machine is
automatically ready for welding.

6.2 Control fuses

Fuse F11, 6.3 A delayed, on the rear wall of machine is as protection for connection of auxiliary
devices X14-15.

NOTE! Use same type and rating of fuse which is marked beside the fuse adapter. Damage caused

by a wrong type fuse is not covered by the guarantee.

6.3 Under- and overvoltages in the mains supply

Primary circuits of machine are protected against sudden, transient overvoltages.
Machine is designed to withstand 3 x 440 V voltage continuously (see technical data). See to

it that voltage is kept within admissible limits especially when mains supply is taken e.g. from
combustion engine generator.

If the mains has undervoltage (under approx. 300 V) or overvoltage (over approx. 480 V)
machine control stops to operate automatically.

6.4 Loss of a phase in the mains supply

Loss of a phase causes noticeable poorer welding properties than normally or the machine
doesn’t get started at all. Loss of a phase can be due to following:

• blowing of mains supply fuse

• defective mains cable

• bad connection of mains connection cable on terminal block or plug of machine

7. DISPOSAL OF THE MACHINE

Do not dispose of electrical equipment with normal waste!
In observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic

equipment, and its implementation in accordance with national law, electrical equipment
that has reached the end of its life must be collected separately and taken to an appropriate
environmentally responsible recycling facility.

The owner of the equipment is obliged to deliver a decommissioned unit to a regional
