    Rev. A, July 2018 1 Safety Precautions Safety precautions for operating personnel and equipment: WARNING 1: Operating personnel should perform only the procedures described and recommended in this manual. Only qualified service personnel familiar with electrical shock hazards and mechanical entanglement hazards present inside the equipment should perform disassembly or corrective maintenance of the equipment.
  • Page 7: General Safety & Maintenance Information

    Before removing or installing spare parts or performing other repair operations to the welder, consult DEMTECH Services, Inc. or your authorized DEMTECH service center for advice on proper procedures. This will help insure a safe and successful outcome. Always make sure all screw connections are tight before attempting to operate the welder after maintenance and/or repair procedures.

    DEMTECH Services, Inc. strives to make our welders easy to use and built to last. Just like all other DEMTECH Services, Inc. products, even a first-time user will be productive in minutes.
  • Page 9: Unpacking & Installation Instructions

    You should consult your administration concerning claims for shipping damage. Please notify DEMTECH Services, Inc. or your authorized DEMTECH distributor where the product was purchased in the event of any shipping damage. b. Unlatch and open the shipping/storage case lid and inspect inside the case and the welder thoroughly for any signs of mishandling or damage during shipping.
  • Page 10: Electrical Plug Connection

    Rev. A, July 2018 e. The welder must be removed from the shipping/storage case and placed in an appropriate location suitable for the welding you intend to perform. Electrical Plug Connection a. The Pro-XMP is supplied with a power cord, which is permanently connected to the bottom side of the controller housing.
  • Page 11 If the displays power-up as described you are now ready to operate the welder. If the welder does not power-up as described please contact DEMTECH Services, Inc. or your authorized DEMTECH service center. d. The operating voltage requirement for the Pro-XMP is 220-240 Volts ~ (AC) only.
  • Page 12: Generator Recommendations

    Rev. A, July 2018 Generator Recommendations When operating the Pro-XMP using house power from a building circuit use the appropriate plug and power cord configuration. When in-field generators are used they must be rated for a minimum of 5,000 watts, however a rating of 6,500 watts or more is highly recommended in order to obtain the best welder performance and temperature control.
  • Page 13: Recommended Temperature Settings

    These factors make it impractical to create a chart that can universally cover all these varying conditions: Therefore, we recommend contacting DEMTECH Services, Inc. or your authorized DEMTECH distributor where the product was purchased to receive guidance for appropriate settings.
  • Page 14: Welder Set-Up & Operation

    Rev. A, July 2018     8 Welder Set-Up & Operation The initial set-up of the Pro-XMP is by far the most critical aspect for proper welder operation. Proper set-up not only leads to quality welding results but also minimizes wear and tear on the welder itself.
  • Page 15 Rev. A, July 2018 Figure 8.1 The welder contains a cold start protection feature that prevents operation of the drill motor before the welder has reached the proper operating temperature. To prepare the welder for operation set the Pre-Heat and Plastic Heat temperatures. These settings will vary depending on the material to be welded and the ambient environment.
  • Page 16: Start A Weld

    Rev. A, July 2018 Start a Weld Once the welder has stabilized at the operating temperature insert the end of the welding rod into the feed port while simultaneously powering the drill motor (see Figure 8.2). Once the welding rod has been started it will continue to self-feed as you weld. The welder drill motor should only be operated when welding rod is being continuously fed into the welder and should never be run dry.
  • Page 17: During A Weld

    Rev. A, July 2018 During a Weld Keep the welding rod being fed into the welder clean and dry. Foreign material such as dust, dirt, sand and water droplets introduced into the feed port can cause premature wear to the welder. For long welds the Pro-XMP drill motor has a locking pin which allows you to lock the drill motor trigger switch in the ON position.
  • Page 18: Checking The Output Temperature

    Rev. A, July 2018 Checking the Output Temperature The temperatures of the extruded material and pre-heat air stream should be verified at regular intervals while performing welds over an extended period. An appropriate high- speed electronic temperature meter with matching temperature probes must be used when performing these measurements.
  • Page 19: Changing The Welding Shoe

    Rev. A, July 2018 Changing the Welding Shoe Make sure to turn off the Pre-Heat and Plastic Heat, allow the extruder to cool to room temperature then remove the ~ (AC) line cord from the power outlet before attempting to service the equipment.
  • Page 20 Rev. A, July 2018 b. Remove the Shoe Assembly from the Nozzle, part number 605-017. Due to melted plastic material buildup removal may require strong twisting clockwise-to- counterclockwise, wiggling from side-to-side and substantial pulling force to remove (see Figure 8.5).
