OPERATION CONTROL
3.1
Main switch I/O
When you turn the on/off switch into position I, the pilot warning lamp is illuminated and the
machine is ready for use. Always turn the machine on and off with the power source mains
switch. Never use the mains plugs as a switch.
3.2
Pilot lamps
The pilot lamps of the machine report its operational state:
When the green pilot lamp is on, it indicates that the machine is switched on and ready for
use.
When the orange pilot lamp is on, it indicates that the machine is overheated due to higher
than normal working loads that exceed the rated duty cycle. The cooling fan will continue to
run and cool the machine down. When the lamp is off the machine is again ready to weld.

Operation of cooling fan
FastMig X 350MV power sources incorporate two simultaneously operating fans.
EN
• The fan is started momentarily when the main switch is turned into position I.
• The fan will start during welding as the machine reaches operational temperature, and
it will run for 1 to 10 minutes after the welding has stopped, depending on the welding
cycle completed.
