1. PREFACE
1.1. INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on having purchased this product. Properly installed Kemppi products should
prove to be productive machines requiring maintenance at only regular intervals. This manual
is arranged to give you a good understanding of the equipment and its safe operation. It also
contains maintenance information and technical specifications. Read this manual from front to
back before installing, operating or maintaining the equipment for the first time. For further
information on Kemppi products please contact us or your nearest Kemppi distributor.
The specifications and designs presented in this manual are subject to change without prior
notice.
In this document, for danger to life or injury the following symbol is used:
Read the warning texts carefully and follow the instructions. Please also study the Operation
safety instructions and respect them when installing, operating and servicing the machine.
1.2. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
MXE is a control panel which is designed for the PROMIG 501, PROMIG 511 and PROMIG
530 wire feeders. Operations of the MXE panel are versatile and very suitable for MIG/MAG
and PulsedMIG in the most demanding welding environment. MMA welding is also possible.
MXE panel is part of the KEMPPI PRO product range.
This manual describes installation, functions and use of the MXE panel. Installation and functions of other units of welding set such as power source, cooling unit and wire feeder, are described in manuals and installation instructions delivered with those units.
1.2.1. Main functions of the MXE panel
• Selection of welding process: MMA (1), MIG 2T, MIG 4T (2)
• Selection of MIG process (3): MIG/MAG, synergic MIG/MAG, synergic PulsedMIG
• Material, gas and wire diameter selections for synergic welding (10)
• Controls and displays of main welding parameters: wire feed speed or MMA current (4), voltage (5),
welding dynamics (8), plate thickness display (6) in synergic programs
• Selection for controls (7): local controls, gun remote control unit, remote control unit
• Storing of welding situations (MIG/MAG, PulsedMIG) (9): 20 channels to store welding parameters
• Special features of MIG/MAG and PulsedMIG processes selected from panel (11): creep start, hot
start, spot weld timer, crater filling
• Checking the shielding-gas flow
• Using double pulse in PulsedMig welding
• Parameter presettings of MIG/MAG, 1-MIG and PulsedMIG welding can be changed by using
SETUP function (14)

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.

2.1.2. MXE installation
a) Put other units of the welding equipment; PRO power source, PROMIG wire feeder, eventual
PROCOOL water cooling unit, into operation condition before mounting the MXE panel.
b) Make sure that no supply voltage has been connected to the PROMIG, main switch of power
source OFF.
c) Mount the MXE panel to the PROMIG wire feeder according to figure on the previous page.
2.2. MXE QUICK GUIDE
2.2.1. MIG/MAG welding
a) Select MEMORY OFF (9)
b) Select FACTORY (14)
b) Select MIG 2T or MIG 4T (2)
c) Select MIG (3)
d) If needed, select gun or remote control (7)
e) If needed, select creep start (11)
f) Adjust wire feed speed (4), welding voltage (5) and welding dynamics as needed (8)
Weld and adjust wire speed and voltage when necessary from controls 4 and 5.
2.2.2. MMA welding
a) Select MEMORY OFF (9)
b) Select FACTORY (14)
c) Select MMA welding (1). Note! Power source is turned on and open circuit voltage will be
switched on.
d) Select remote control if needed (7)
e) Adjust MMA welding current as needed (4)
f) With welding dynamics control (8) you can optimize welding result with different electrode
types.
Weld and adjust current when necessary from control 4.
2.2.3. Synergic MIG/MAG welding, 1-MIG
With the synergic MIG/MAG welding the power control is easy. Welding power is controlled
from one control (4) from minimum values to maximum values and the arc is kept stable. Synergic MIG/MAG welding requires selection of a correct material curve before welding.
