2.5 CONNECTING CABLES
NOTE! Always check before use that the interconnecting cable, shielding gas hose, earth return
lead/clamp, and mains cable is in a serviceable condition. Ensure that connectors are correctly
fastened. Lose connectors can impair welding performance and damage connectors.
KempArc power sources are delivered as standard with 5 meters of mains power cable. No
mains plug is tted at the Kemppi factory.
NOTE! If local country based regulations state an alternative power cable is required, the mains
cable must be replaced in conformity with the regulations. Connection and installation of the
mains cable and plug, should only be carried out by a suitably qualied person.
Remove the machine cover plate to enable mounting of a mains cable. KempArc Pulse power
sources can be connected to the mains supply of 400 V 3~ .
If changing the mains cable take into consideration the following:
The cable is entered into the machine through the inlet ring on the rear panel of the machine
and fastened with a cable clamp. The phase conductors of the cable are coupled to connectors
L1, L2 and L3. The earth protection coloured green-yellow is coupled to the marked connector.
If you are using 5-lead cable, do not connect the neutral conductor.
*) In cables of S type there is a protective grounding conductor coloured green-yellow.
2.5.4 Connecting welding and earthing cables
The power source has two welding cable and control cable connectors. With them, the
welding robot’s welding torch and, if necessary, a manual welding torch for tack welding can
be connected to the power source.
Connect the welding and earthing cables as follows.
1. Connect the power source to the electric network according to the instructions above.
2. Connect the earthing cable to the earthing connector .
3. Connect the welding cable to the welding current connector.
NOTE! Do not overload the welding cables, as an overload may cause voltage loss and
overheating.
You can conect the control cables of manual welding wire feeders or the control cable of a
remote controller to the control cable connectors.
Before starting the welding, connect the earth clamp directly to the work piece in such a way
as to maximise the contact surface of the clamp. The point of connection must be unpainted
and free of corrosion.
2.5.5 Welding and earth return cables
Kemppi always recommend the use of high quality copper cables with a suitable crosssectional area. Cable size should be selected depending on the intended welding application.
50mm copper welding cables may be used for low duty work in basic or Synergic 1-MIG.
However when using Pulse MIG/MAG process, and or longer cables, and or higher welding
power, voltage loss increases, and therefore smaller cross sectional interconnecting power and
return cables will restrict the welding performance of your machine.
• KempArc Pulse 350: 70 to 90 mm²
• KempArc Pulse 450: 70 to 90 mm²
The enclosed table shows typical load capacities of rubber insulated copper cables, when
ambient temperature is 25 °C and the cable temperature is 85 °C.

2.5.6 Interconnection with wire feeder
Kemppi provide a choice of interconnection cable sets for dierent environments. Only
materials that meet the demands of Kemppi's international markets are used in their
construction.
Used correctly, Kemppi cables sets ensure high welding performance and serviceability.
Before use, always ensure the cable set is in good condition and that connectors are correctly
fastened. Loose connections reduce welding performance and may result in damage to
connectors due to heating eects.
For correct connection and conguration of cable sets, please refer to schematic drawings:
2.4.1 and 2.4.2
NOTE! KempArc Pulse 350/450 power sources are designed to be used ONLY with DT 400 wire feed
When you turn the on/o switch into I -position, the pilot warning lamp is illuminated and
the machine is ready for use. Always turn the machine on and o with the power source mains
switch. Never use the mains plugs as a switch.
3.2 PILOT LAMPS
The pilot lamps of the machine report its operational state:
The green pilot lamp when lit, indicates that the machine is switched on and ready for
use, and that it is connected to the mains supply with the power source main switch in the
I-position.
When lit, the orange lamp indicates that the thermal protection circuit has been activated due
to higher than normal working loads that exceed the rated duty cycle. The cooling fan will
continue to run and cool the machine down. When the lamp is o the machine is again ready
to weld.
3.3 OPERATION OF COOLING FAN
KempArc Pulse power sources incorporate two simultaneously operating fans.
• The fan is started momentarily when the main switch is placed into position - I.
• The fan will start during welding as the machine reaches operational temperature, and
it will run for 1 to 10 minutes after the welding has stopped, depending on the welding
cycle completed.

either the White +/- buttons OR Orange UP-DOWN buttons - Press SAVE button
READY TO WELD: Your basic welding selection and set-up is now complete. You are ready
to weld, providing you select the corresponding channel ‘Job’ number on the KF 62 remote
control panel. Set your welding power and arc length and weld.
NOTE! If you SELECT ‘MIG’ (i.e. Basic MIG/MAG selection in the above listing) you will automatically
jump from item 4 to item 9. When you have saved your channel ‘Job’ number selection, you will
have access to basic MIG/MAG welding on this channel. Voltage and wire feed speed are then
selected in the normal way.
Memory ‘Job’ Channels
So there is a maximum of 100 x channels available for a variety of welding ‘Job’s or welding
projects.
Welding parametres can be quickly saved to MEMORY ‘Job’ CHANNEL Numbers and recalled
later or updated later unless ‘locked’ via the four digits ADMINISTRATOR PIN code lock.
K 60 – Fast Function Keys

6. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE! The problems listed and the possible causes are not denitive, but serve to suggest some
standard and typical situations that may present during normal environmental use when using
the MIG/MAG process with KempArc Pulse.
ProblemCheck the following
Machine won’t work?• Check mains plug is connected
• Check mains power distribution is switched on
• Check the mains fuse and or circuit breaker
• Check power source 0/I switch is ON
• Check interconnection cable set and connectors between the power source and
wire feed unit are correctly fastened. See the manual schematic
• Check earth return lead is connected
• Check function panels are switched on – Orange buttons top left, long press.
Dirty, poor quality weld? • Check shielding gas supply
• Check and set gas ow rate
• Check gas type for application
• Check gun/electrode polarity. Example: Fe solid ller wire: Earth return should be
connected to the – pole, wire feed unit to the + pole connector
• Check correct welding curve selected
• Check correct Channel (job) number selected on KF 62 function panel
• Check power supply – Phase down?
Variable welding performance?• Check wire feed mechanism is correctly adjusted
• Check correct drive rolls are tted
• Check wire spool overrun tension is correctly adjusted
• Check gun liner is not blocked. Replace if necessary
• Check correct gun liner is tted for the ller wire size and type
• Check contact tip for size, type and wear
• Check gun is not over heating in application
• Check cable connections and earth return clamp
• Check welding parametre settings.
Filler wire won’t feed?• Check wire feed mechanism. Pressure arms are closed? Close and adjust
• Check welding gun switch function.
• Check euro gun collar is correctly fastened to euro block
• Check gun liner is not blocked
• Check contact tip, size, type, wear
• Check and try alternative gun.
High spatter volume?• Check welding parametre values
Should you experience a malfunction from your machine, please consult the basic
troubleshooting text above rst, and complete some basic checks.
If the machine malfunction cannot be corrected with these measures, contact your KEMPPI
maintenance service workshop.
7.1 OPERATION OF THE OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Yellow thermal protection lamp is lit when the thermostat is operating due to loading beyond
the stated duty cycle.
The thermostat will operate, if machine is continuously loaded over rated values or cooling air
circulation is blocked.
Internal fans will cool the machine, and when the pilot lamp is not lit the machine is
automatically ready for welding.
7.2 CONTROL FUSES
Fuse, 6.3 A delayed, on the rear wall of machine provides protection for auxiliary devices.
Use the same type and rating of fuse as marked beside the fuse adapter. Damage caused by
incorrect fuse selection is not covered by the guarantee.
7.3 UNDER AND OVER VOLTAGES IN THE MAINS SUPPLY
Primary circuits of the machine are protected against sudden, transient overvoltages. The
machine is designed to withstand 3 x 440 V voltage continuously (see technical data). Ensure
that voltage is kept within this admissible limit, especially when the mains supply is provided
by a combustion engine generator. If the mains has under voltage (under approx. 300 V) or
overvoltage (over approx. 480 V) machine control stops operation automatically.
7.4 LOSS OF A PHASE IN THE MAINS SUPPLY
Loss of a main power phase causes noticeably poor welding properties. In some cases the
machine won't start at all. Loss of a phase can be due to following:
• Blowing of mains supply fuse
• Defective mains cable
• Bad connection of mains power cable on machine terminal block or plug of machine.
8. MAINTENANCE
When considering and planning routine maintenance, please consider the the frequency of
machine use and the working environment.
Correct operation of the machine and regular maintenance will help you avoid unnecessary
downtime and equipment failure.
NOTE! Disconnect the machine from the mains before handling the electrical cables.
8.1 DAILY MAINTENANCE
• Check the overall condition of the welding gun. Remove welding spatter from the
contact tip and clean the gas nozzle. Replace worn or damaged parts. Only use original
Kemppi spare parts.
• Check the condition and connection of the welding circuit components: welding gun,
earth return cable and clamp, sockets and connectors.
• Check the condition of the feed rolls, needle bearings and shafts. Clean and lubricate
bearings and shafts with a small quantity of light machine oil if necessary. Assemble,
adjust and test function.
26
8.2 PERIOD MAINTENANCE
NOTE! Period maintenance should only be carried out by a suitably qualied person. Disconnect
the plug of the machine from the mains socket and wait approx. 2 minutes (capacitor charge)
before removing the cover plate.
Check at least every half year:
• Electric connectors of the machine – clean any oxidized parts and tighten loose
connections.
NOTE! You must know the correct tension torques values before starting the reparation of the loose
joints.
Clean the inner parts of the machine from dust and dirt e.g. with a soft brush and vacuum
cleaner. Also clean the ventilation net behind the front grill.
Do not use compressed air, there is a risk that the dirt will compact even more tightly into
gaps of cooling proles.
Do not use pressure washing devices.
Only an authorized trained electrician should carry out repairs to Kemppi machines.
8.3 SERVICE SHOP MAINTENANCE
Kemppi Service Workshops complete maintenance according to their Kemppi service
agreement.
The major points in the maintenance procedure are listed as follows:
• Cleaning of the machine
• Checking and maintenance of the welding tools
• Checking of connectors, switches and potentiometers
• Checking of electric connections
• Checking of mains cable and plug
• Damaged parts or parts in bad condition are replaced by new ones
• Maintenance testing.
• Operation and performance values of the machine are checked, and when necessary
adjusted by means of software and test equipment.
Software loading
Kemppi Service Workshops can also test and load rm ware and welding software.
9. DISPOSAL OF THE MACHINE
