FX360XL

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

General FUnCTIOnal DesCrIpTIOn
The FX360XL is an inverter based, multi-process, DC power
source that has a 5 to 425 Amp output range. The machine is
capable of welding in CC and CV modes with common wire types
and sizes. The FX360XL is capable of gouging in either Stick or CV
modes. Two units can be paralleled in CC modes for extra gouging
power.
The welding modes for GMAW, FCAW, SMAW, and GTAW for a
variety of materials including mild steel, some cored wires, gas
shielded wires, and aluminum wires. Additional modes are
offered supporting reduced open circuit voltages for an added
measure of safety.
The FX360XL machine only comes with a 3-pin remote output
connector and is only compatible with across the arc wire feeders
and CrossLink™ compatible feeders.
FX360XL comes with the CrossLinc™ interface for remote voltage
setting with CrossLinc™ compatible feeders.

reCOMMenDeD prOCesses

FX360XL is designed for CC-SMAW, CC-GTAW (Touch Start TIG™),
CV-GMAW, CV-FCAW-SS, CV-FCAW-G. CAG arc gouging is also
supported in the CV and CC modes.

CrossLinc™ technology uses a communication protocol coupled
on the electrode and work cables. For best performance the total
voltage drop in the system should be kept under 10V.
CrossLinc™ is not compatible with High Frequency TIG. If HF is in
the area, the cables need to routed as far as possible from each
other. Also follow all high frequency best practices, including the
driven earth ground.
