USB update
The X3 FastMig firmware can be updated to a newer version (when available) using a USB memory stick.
|
There can be only one ZIP file on the USB memory stick inserted into the welding system at once.
This ZIP file must be a dedicated firmware update pack for this welding system. |
|
|
For more information on firmware updates and their availability, contact your local Kemppi representative. |
|
|
Where applicable, the voltage reduction device (VRD) function is enabled following the same USB update procedure. |
|
To ensure safe update operation, turn the welding equipment on once the USB memory stick is connected, and only for the update process to complete. Removing the filler wire and disconnecting the welding torch before the update is also advised. |
