Using X5 Manual control panel
The X5 Wire Feeder 200 Manual and 300 Manual control panels include the most essential features and functions for MIG welding with the option to use the X5 FastMig also for TIG (DC) and MMA welding and gouging.
X5 Wire Feeder 300 Manual control panel (X5 FP 300R)
1. | Left control knob |
>> In MIG mode: Wire feed speed
>> In MMA mode: Welding current adjustment
>> In Gouging mode: Current adjustment
2. | Right control knob |
>> In MIG mode: Welding voltage adjustment
>> In MIG mode (push button): Switch between welding voltage and dynamics adjustment
>> In MMA mode: Dynamics adjustment
3. | Trigger logic selection |
>> Switches between 2T and 4T trigger logic modes
4. | Welding process / operation mode selection |
>> Switches between MIG, MMA and Gouging modes
>> Long press for TIG mode
5. | Home button |
>> Switches to the default welding view/mode
6. | Weld data button |
>> Shows the duration, current and voltage of the last weld
7. | Settings menu button |
8. | Main display |
>> Shows the wire feed speed, current and/or voltage (content shown depends on the welding process selected).
To change the control panel settings and welding parameters, refer to Manual control panel: Settings.
Safety lock: By long-pressing the control knobs 1 and 2 simultaneously, the device can be locked for safety. This prevents welding and operating the device by accident without having to turn the equipment off. Unlock the device by pressing the control knobs 1 and 2 simultaneously for 2 seconds.
