instructions
which are delivered in packages.
1. Installation of power source
Read paragraph: ”Installation” in operation instructions for Kemppi FastMig™ power sources
and carry out the installation according to that.
2. Mounting of KMS power sources to transport wagon
Read and follow the instructions given in the transport cart installation/assembly manual
3. Mounting the FastMig™ MSF on to the power source
Screw the fastening pivot on the power source. Lift the wire feeder on fastening pivot.
4. Connecting cables
Connect the cables in accordance with the equipment notes provided.
The polarity of the welding wire (+ or -) can be changed by replacing the MSF welding current
cable and return current cable with the Kemppi FastMig™ power source welding cable
connector.
5. Mounting of FastMig™ wire feed units to boom
NOTE! Wire feed unit must be mounted to boom in such a way that its chassis is galvanic
separated both from swing arm and boom.
Suspension angle of wire feed unit can be changed by moving xing point in handle.
Wire feed rolls are available with plain groove, knurled groove and with U groove for dierent
purposes.
Feed rolls with plain groove: Universal feed roll for welding of all kinds of wires.
Feed rolls with knurled groove: Special feed roll for cored wires and steel wires.
Feed rolls with U groove: Special feed roll for aluminium wires.
In delivery FastMig™ wire feed units are equipped with 1.2 mm orange feed rolls with
V-groove and with silver wire guide tubes for welding ller wires of 0.6 – 1.6 mm.
2.3 MOUNTING OF MIG WELDING GUN
In order to ensure trouble-free welding check in operation instructions of gun used by you
that wire guide tube and contact tip of gun are according to manufacturer’s recommendation
suitable to be used for wire feed diameter and type in question. To tight a wire guide tube
might cause for wire feed unit a bigger stress than normally as well as disturbances in
wire feed. Screw snap connector of gun tight that there won’t come any voltage losses on
connecting surface. A loose connection will heat gun and wire feed unit and feeder.
MSF wire feed units are equipped with backup functions in case of overheating of the liquidcooled PMT gun or overloading of the wire feed motor. The backup function is as follows (see
also the error code information, page 21):
1. The Kemppi PMT gun thermal protection goes into action. When this occurs, the unit
interrupts welding and the message ’Err 153’ appears on the panel (ls) display.
2. The wire feed motor can overload - due to, e.g., gun clogging. In this event, the unit
interrupts welding and the text ’Err 162’ appears on the panel display. ’Err 161’ = warning.
Error codes disappear on the next start-up if the cause of the error has been eliminated (i.e.,
the gun has cooled down or the motor is no longer overloaded).
NOTE! Check that in ller wire reel there are no parts sticking out, which could e.g. chafe against
chassis or door of wire feed unit. Dragging parts might expose chassis of wire feed unit under
voltage.
EN
2.5 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.
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.
2.6 ADJUSTMENT OF PRESSURE
Adjust the pressure of feed rolls with the control screw (20) so that the wire is fed into the wire
guide tube evenly and allows a little braking when coming out from the contact tip without
slipping at the feed rolls.
NOTE! Excessive pressure causes attening of the ller wire and damage to the coating. It also
causes undue wear of the feed rolls as well as friction.
10
2.7 ADJUSTMENT OF TIGHTNESS OF REEL BRAKE
Brake force is adjusted through hole in locking device of spool hub by screwing the control
screw (A) with screwdriver.
A
Brake force is adjusted by screwing the brake force adjusting screw (B), tightening clockwise
direction.
A
Adjust brake force as so big that the wire is not allowed to become too loose on the reel so
that it would spill from the reel when the rotation of the reel stops. Need for brake force is
increased with increase of wire feed speed.
Since the brake loads for its part the motor, you shouldn’t keep it unnecessarily tight.
2.8 BURN BACK TIME
Electronics of feed unit controls stopping of welding automatically so that the wire end
doesn’t melt fastened to the contact tip or the work piece. Automatics work regardless of the
wire feed speed. Can be adjusted also from SETUP-menu ('PoC').
2.9 GROUND CABLE
Connecting of earth cable should be preferably connected directly to the welding material.
Contact surface of press always should be as large as possible.
Cleanthefasteningsurfacefrompaintandrust!
Use in your MIG equipment at least 70 mm². Thinner cross-sectional areas might cause
overheating of connectors and insulations.
Make sure that the welding gun in your use is designed for max. welding current needed by
NOTE! Handle gas bottle with care. There is a risk for injury if gas bottle or bottle valve is damaged!
For welding stainless steels, mixed gases are normally used. Check that the gas bottle valve
is suitable for the gas. The ow rate is set according to the welding power used in the job. A
suitable ow rate is normally 8 – 10 l/min. If the gas ow is not suitable, the welded joint will
be sporous. Contact your local Kemppi-dealer for choosing gas and equipment.
8. Open needle valve if there is one in the regulator.
9. Turn regulation screw (B) until hose pressure meter (G) shows the required ow (or
pressure). When regulating ow amount, the power source should be in switched on and
the gun switch pressed simultaneously.
Close bottle valve after having nished welding. If the machine will be out of use for a long
time, unscrew the pressure regulation screw.

connected to the equipment, and in gun control the SETUP parameter ’GUN’ is position ”ON”.
Additional MIG functions (13)
Activation of additional MIG functions
Functions can be added to wire feeder by buing a specic code for it (=licence). The code can
be programmed via wire feeder bus address or via panel. Instructions for programming the
code via wire feeder bus address are on programming manual.
Programming from panel:
1. Go to SETUP functions by a long press on button SETUP.
2. Choose with left potentiometer parameter Code Entering (’Cod’) and adjust right
potentiometer to Enter (’Ent’).
3. Press shortly on REMOTE button.
4. You can see on left display number one (1), programm the rst value of the code on right
potentiometer. Programmed value can be seen on right display.
5. Choose next value programming with the potentiometer on left.
6. Programm the same value seen on left display with right potentiometer.
7. Go back to point 5, until all values of the code have been programmed.
8. Approve the code by a short press on button REMOTE.
9. If code programming is succeeded, on panel can be seen text ’Suc cEs’. If code
programming failed, there is an error code on panel. (See 5. FastMig™ error codes).
10. You can remove from programming mode at any time by pressing shortly ON/OFF button
(ESC function).
The selection button for additional MIG functions can be used to activate the slow start
(’Creep Start’), hot start, or crater levelling (’Crater Level’) function. Further presses of the
additional functions for each method can be selected.
Parameters related to these functions are set via the SETUP function (see ’SETUP functions’).
The purpose of Creep Start is to facilitate the initial weld – e.g., when welding with a high wire
feed speed. The wire feed speed is kept low until the wire touches the work piece and the
current begins to ow. Creep Start can be selected with normal MIG welding or with Synergic
1-MIG welding.
The purpose of the Hot Start function is to reduce initial welding errors when welding highly
heat-conductive materials such as aluminium. Hot Start can be selected when using Synergic
1-MIG welding and when the 4T operating mode is selected. In this case, when the start
switch of the gun is held down, a xed pre-gas time is displayed after which welding starts at
the level determined by the SETUP mode’s Hot Start parameter, returning to the normal level
when the gun switch is released.
Stopping is performed as with the normal 4T function.
The purpose of crater levelling is to reduce welding defects caused by end cratering. The
Crater Level function can be selected when using Synergic 1-MIG welding and when the 4T
operating mode is selected.
When the gun switch is pressed down in connection with termination of welding, the
welding power drops to the crater-lling level selected previously. The crater lling function is
discontinued by releasing the gun switch.
The values of parameters related to additional MIG functions can be changed either with the
SETUP function (see ’SETUP’) or with the Quick SETUP function. Quick SETUP is activated by
simultaneously pressing buttons 13 and 10. In this way, parameters related to MIG additional
functions can be set.
Parameters are selected for adjustment either with button 13 or via potentiometer No. 14. The
value of the parameter is set via potentiometer No. 16. The value is immediately recorded in
the memory.
The memory functions can be used to record useful welding values in the memory. There are
ten dierent memory locations: 0 … 9.
In addition to welding values (wire feed speed, welding voltage), function options such as
2T/4T, Creep Start, and Crater Level are recorded in the memory.
Storage in memory is performed as follows:
1. Press the MEMORY button twice; the SET light begins to ash if the channel is not in use. If
2. Select the desired memory channel with the CH key.
3. Make the settings and store them in the memory by pressing the SAVE button.

Synergic 1-MIG or FR-MIG welding (9, 11)
In Synergic 1-MIG welding, the optimal welding parameters for the welding wires and gas
used are recorded in the unit. The welding is controlled by adjusting the welding power and
arc length.
Synergic FR-MIG process is meant for root bass welding. Welding parametres and shape of
short circuit responce are optimized for root bass welding.
Welding arc/programme selection:
Before commencing welding, a welding arc/programme suited to the welding wire and gas
used must be chosen from the instructions on the inner surface of the MSF door.
Arc selection is activated by pressing button No. 9 for >1 second. In this case, displays 2 and
8 begin to ash and the material group is selected from the left-hand potentiometer and the
welding arc/programme for the material group in question from the right potentiometer; see
the enclosed table.
The selected programme is immediately recorded in the memory. To get back to normal status
press ON/OFF (1) key, or Synergic PROGRAM button (9).

5. FASTMIG™ ERROR CODES
The existence of possible faults in the equipment is investigated in connection with each
wire feed unit start-up. If a fault is detected, the fault in question will be indicated as an ’Err’
message on the panel display.
Error code examples:
Err 2: Undervoltage
The device has stopped because it has detected a mains undervoltage that disturbs welding.
Check the quality of the supply network.
Err 3: Overvoltage
The device has stopped because dangerously high temporary voltage surges or a continuous
over-voltage has been detected in the electric network. Check the quality of the supply
network.
Err 4: Power source is overheated
The power source has overheated. The cause may be one of the following:
Check the circulation of the cooling liquid and the air circulation of the water unit.
Err 54: No data communication from power source
The data transmission between the power source and the wire feed unit has been cut o or is
defective. Check the extension lead and connections.
Err 55: Power source is busy
The communication channel is busy. The power source is being used by another wire feed unit
or the programming for some other device in the channel (e.g. control panel) is in progress.
Err 61: The water unit is not found
Water unit is not connected to the equipment or there is a connection fault.
Connect up the water unit or change the setting of the unit to gas-cooled, if you are using a
gas-cooled welding gun
Err 153: Overheating of liquid-cooled PMT gun
When starting to weld or during welding, the overheat protection on the liquid-cooled MIG
air is circulating freely through it. Ensure that liquid is circulating freely through the cooling
hoses.
Err 154: Overloading of the wire feed motor
The welding has been interrupted because the loading of the wire feed motor has risen to
a high level. The cause of this could be a blockage of the wire line. Check the wire conduit,
contact tip and feed rolls.
Err 155: Warning of the wire feed unit overloading
The wire feed motor load level has risen. The cause could be dirty wire conduits or a gun cable
twisted into sharp curves. Check the state of the gun and clean the wire line if necessary
Err 165: Gas guard alarm
Gas guard function has worked, because the pressure of gas has decreased. Possibly reasons:

6. SERVICE, OPERATION DISTURBANCES
The amount of use and the working environment should be taken into consideration when
planning the frequency of maintenance of MSF. Careful use and preventive maintenance will
help to ensure trouble-free operation.
The following maintenance operations should be carried out at least every six months:
Check:
– The wear of the grooves of the feed rolls. Excessive wear of grooves causes problems in
wire feed.
– The wear of the wire guide tubes of wire feed. Badly worn feed rolls and wire guide tubes
should be discarded.
– The wire guide tube in the gun should be set as near the feed rolls as possible, but not
touching them and the wire must follow a straight line from the end of the tube to the
groove of the feed roll.
– Reel brake adjustment.
– Electric connections
* Oxidised couplings must be cleaned
* Loose couplings must be tightened
Clean dust and dirt from the equipment.
NOTE! When using compressed air, always protect your eyes with proper eye protection.
