1.3. OPERATION SAFETY

Please study these Operation safety instructions and respect them when installing, operating and
servicing the machine.

Welding arc and spatters

Welding arc hurts unprotected eyes. Be careful also with reflecting arc flash. Welding arc and
spatter burn unprotected skin. Use safety gloves and protective clothing.

Danger for fire or explosion

Pay attention to fire safety regulations. Remove flammable or explosive materials from wel­ding place. Always reserve sufficient fire-fighting equipment on welding place. Be prepared for
hazards in special welding jobs, eg. for the danger of fire or explosion when welding container
type work pieces. Note! Fire can break out from sparks even several hours after the welding

work has been finished!

Mains voltage

Never take welding machine inside a work piece (eg. container or truck). Do not place welding
machine on a wet surface. Always check cables before operating the machine. Change defect
cables without delay. Defect cables may cause an injury or set out a fire. Connection cable must
not be compressed, it must not touch sharp edges or hot work pieces.

Welding power circuit

Isolate yourself by using proper protective clothing, do not wear wet clothing. Never work on a
wet surface or use defect cables. Do not put MIG-gun or welding cables on welding machine or
on other electric equipment. Do not press MIG-gun switch, if the gun is not directed towards a
work piece.

Welding fumes

Take care that there is sufficient ventilation during welding. Take special safety precautions
when welding metals which contain lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium.

The double-pulse function operates only with PulsedMIG welding.
Wire feed speed can be regulated max. 2.5 m/min above and below the
relected wire feed speed. At the same time, the synergic welding para­meters are changed to match the current wire feed speed. The purpose
of the function is to create a suitable protrusion and good appearance
in the weld. It also improves the controllability of weld pool in position
welding.

30. Creep start, MIG/MAG, 1-MIG, PulsedMIG: Creep start is used for
smooth start for example in welding with high wire feed speeds. In
start the wire feed speed is lower than set value until the wire touches
the weld piece and current starts flowing. Note! If the wire does not
touch the weld piece within 0.6 seconds, wire feed speed goes over to
set value. When needed you can change lower wire feed speed level on
creep start and also wire feed speed upslope with SETUP functions.

31. Hot start, spot weld timer:
Hot start function is used to reduce start faults in welding of well heat conductive materials

such as aluminium. Hot start is in use with 1-MIG and PulsedMIG. In 4T mode hot start the
time is set with switch function (see picture), in 2T mode the time is set with the parameter
of SETUP function. Hot start level can be changed with SETUP function when needed.

Spot weld timer is normally switched off. The timer is switched on with SETUP function

by setting the spot weld time as different from zero, and correspondingly switched off by
setting the spot weld time as zero. Spot weld time is switched on with 2T switch function,
in which case hot start is selected (the LED is on) but not in use when spot weld time is
over zero. Hot start has to be selected in order to use spot weld. Current during spot weld
time is the same as hot start current.

32. Crater filling, 1-MIG and PulsedMIG:
Crater filling is used to reduce weld defects caused by end crater. With 4T switch function

at the weld end you get, during pressing gun’s start switch, a steplessly decreasing welding
power, which fills end crater in a controlled way. With 2T mode the decreasing time is cons­tant. Decreasing speed of welding power and decreasing time can be changed with SETUP
function when needed.

33. Selecting key for MIG auxiliary functions.
Auxiliary functions can be switched on independently from each other, either together or

separately both with 4T and 2T.

Note! With longer creep start times creep start and hot start cannot be switched on at the

same time.

3.9. TESTING THE GAS FEED

By pressing the gas-feed test key, you can make the shielding gas flow without star­ting the power source or the wire feed. This enables the measuring of the gas flow
with an external measuring device.

The gas flow will cease when you press the same key again or the gun trigger. If you
do not press the key again, gas flow will cease automatically in 20 seconds.

3.10. MXE MEMORY CHANNELS, MEMORY

The MXE panel has 20 memory channels into which you can be store MIG/MAG, 1-MIG and
PulsedMIG welding situations. Control potentiometer values as well as function selections are
stored into memory. You cannot store MMA welding values into memory channels.

3.10.1. Following parameters are stored into memory

– Wire feed speed and welding voltage (MIG/MAG)
– Welding power and arc length (1-MIG, PulsedMIG)
– Synergic curve selections (1-MIG, PulsedMIG)
– MIG dynamics (MIG/MAG, 1-MIG)
– MIG 2T / MIG 4T selections
– Creep start selection
– Hot start and crater filling selections (1-MIG, PulsedMIG)
– FACTORY / USER parameter selections

Operation modes of memory function are selected with key 37. Operation modes are OFF (34):
normal welding without memory functions. ON (35): welding with welding values stored into
memory channels. SET (36): mode where you can store welding values into memory channels
by pressing on memory key SAVE (41). Memory channel is selected by CH- (38) and CH+ (39)
keys. Number of selected channel is displayed in screen 40.

In SET mode (36) blinking indicator LED shows that no welding values are stored into the
channel in question. When needed, you can clear the memory channel by simultaneous pressing
(42) of keys for mode selection (37) and CH- (38). Before clearing you can check the values
stored into channel by going over for a moment to ON state (35).

In ON state you can select only those channels with stored values. Fine control of stored chan­nels for welding voltage (MIG/MAG) or for arc length (1-MIG, PulsedMIG) is made from
potentiometer 43. During welding you can change channels if the MIG process (MIG, 1-MIG,
PulsedMIG) remains the same. Also 1-MIG and PulsedMIG synergic curve selection should be
the same in the channels in question.

Selection of memory channels 1-5 can be transferred to remote control unit R20, connected
to the PROMIG or to gun remote control unit RMT10 of the PMT MIG gun. Change-over to
remote control of channels is made in ON state by simultaneous pressing (44) of CH+ (39) and
control selection (27) keys. When using R20 control unit both channel selection and fine control
are transferred to potentiometers of the control unit. When using RMT10 control unit the chan­nel selection is transferred to RMT10 and fine control remains in the panel potentiometer (43).
Remote selection of memory channels is indicated by blinking remote control or gun remote
control indicator LEDs. Exit from remote control in the same way by simultaneous pressing
(44). You can go directly from OFF to SET mode by simultaneous pressing (45) of keys 37 and
39 (= direct storing of currently welded values into memory). You can go directly from ON to
OFF mode by simultaneous pressing (42) of keys 37 and 38.

3.11. PRESETTINGS OF WELDING PARAMETERS, SETUP

With SETUP function the user can change such parameters of MIG, 1-MIG and PulsedMIG,
for which there is no own control on the panel. Such parameters are for example pre-, post gas
time and hot start. Parameters are different for every MIG process, which means that you can set
independently your own parameters for MIG, 1-MIG and PulsedMIG. SETUP keys are marked
with blue colour.

Modes of SETUP function:

a) FACTORY mode: Use the so called factory settings of welding parameters.
b) USER mode: Use welding parameters changed by the user.
c) SETUP change mode: Mode in which parameters are changed and stored into memory.
