X8 Power Source
This section describes the structure of X8 power source.
Front
>> Connect a USB memory stick to upload the welding procedures (WPS) or Wise features to the power source or update firmware if a wireless connection is unavailable.
>> Connect Control Pad to the power source with a cable to charge its battery or to use it in wired mode.
>> Pull to open the front panel and reveal the coolant container.

|
Measurement cable connectors |
>> Connectors for wire feeder 1 on the left, wire feeder 2 on the right side of the power source.
|

|
Control cable connectors |
>> Connectors for wire feeder 1 on the left, wire feeder 2 on the right side of the power source.

Indicator panel
>> The LED is green when the unit is on.

|
Voltage Reduction Device (VRD) indicator |
>> The LED is green when VRD is switched on and the no-load voltage is under 35 V.
>> The LED blinks red when VRD is switched on and the no-load voltage is above 35 V.
>> The LED is off when VRD is switched off or during welding.
|
VRD is in use with MMA and Gouging modes only. |
>> The LED is yellow when the unit is overheating.
|
If the power source overheats, a thermal cutoff switches the unit off and does not allow it to be used until it has cooled down. |
|

|
Kemppi cloud connection |
>> The LED is blue when the wire feeder or power source is connected to Kemppi cloud services.
>> The LED blinks blue when the wire feeder or power source is connecting to Kemppi cloud services.
>> The LED is yellow when the coolant level is too low.
|
| 6.
|
Coolant temperature warning |
>> The LED is yellow when the cooler is overheating.
|
|
If the coolant liquid overheats, a thermal cutoff switches the welding system off and does not allow it to be used until the coolant liquid has cooled down. |
|
| 7.
|
Coolant circulation warning |
>> The LED is green when the coolant circulation is working normally.
>> The LED is red when there is a problem in the coolant circulation.
>> The LED blinks green and red in turns when the circulation of the coolant liquid has been obstructed too long.
|
|
If the circulation of the coolant liquid is obstructed, a thermal cutoff switches the welding system off. Check and fix the error before using the welding system again.
If the error was caused in an unsuccessful filling of the cooler, refill the cooler. In other cases, the error disappears automatically in 30 seconds.

|
Wireless pairing button |
>> To pair the wire feeder or power source with Control Pad, press the button. If the power source is connected to wire feeder(s), the wire feeder(s) pairs with Control Pad. If the power source is not connected to a wire feeder, the power source pairs with Control Pad.
>> The LED is blue when the wire feeder or power source is wirelessly connected to Control Pad.
>> The LED blinks blue when the wire feeder or power source is pairing with Control Pad.
