2.3 MR 200 and MR 300 operations
ON/OFF (1)
The wire feed unit remains in the OFF position when the power source is switched on, thus
preventing start-up. ’OFF’is shown on the display.
When the ON/OFF button is pressed for more than 1 second, the unit starts up. The unit is now
ready for welding and will automatically return back to its previous position, before the power
was cut o. The wire feed unit starts up also by pressing three (short) times the switch of the
welding gun.
Basic settings and displays
The wire feed speed is set via left potentiometer (control knob) and the value is shown on the
left display. The welding voltage is set via right potentiometer (control knob) and the value is
shown on the right display.
During welding, the left display shows the actual welding current value and the display on the
right shows the welding voltage.
With electrode welding (MMA) the welding current value is set via the potentiometer and
the value is shown on the left display. The display on the right shows the idling voltage of the
power source. During welding the left display shows the actual welding current value and the
display on the right shows the welding voltage.
When the MIG dynamics adjustment is activated with Arc Force/Dynamics button the Mig
dynamics value is adjusted via right potentiometer (control knob) (see the information on
adjustment of MIG dynamics).
Adjustment of MIG dynamics/Arc Force (3)
With MIG welding dynamics adjustment is inuenced on welding stability and spatter
amount. Zero setting is recommended basic setting. Values –> min (-9 ... -1), softer arc for
reduced spatter amount. Values –> max (1 – 9), harder arc for increased stability and when 100
% CO₂ shielding gas is used when welding steel.
With electrode welding Arc Force adjustment is inuenced on welding stability. Adjustment
is needed for using dierent types of electrodes. Control range (-9 ... 0) is commonly used for
welding electrodes for stainless steel. Control range (0 – 9) is used for harder arc characteristic
to increase stability, e.g. for welding with thicker basic electrodes and using lower current
value than recommendated. Factory set value (0) is a good general use for adjusting the
roughness of the arc.
Selection of air/liquid-cooled MIG gun (4)
Selection of air-cooled/liquid-cooled MIG gun is activated by pressing buttons 3 and 5
simultaneously (for more than 1 second). When ‘Gas’ is shown on the display, the welding
equipment will assume that an air-cooled MIG gun has been connected. If the above buttons
are pressed again, the text ’CooLEr’ appears on the display and the LED indicating liquid
cooling selection lights up. In this case, the welding equipment will assume that a liquid-
cooled MIG gun has been connected to the equipment. When liquid cooling is selected, the
liquid cooling unit will start up in connection with the next equipment start-up.
The selection can also be made through the SETUP function.

Weld data (5)
The weld data function is activated by pressing the button. The weld data function returns the
welding current and voltage values to the displays that were in use during the last weld.
Selection of welding process (7)
The welding process – normal MIG/MMA – can be chosen by the welding process selection
button. In MIG welding wire feed speed and welding voltage are adjusted separately.
Electrode welding (MMA) is selected by pressing the button for >1 second.
NOTE! When electrode welding is selected, the power source, the electrode holder connected to it
and the MIG gun become energised (open circuit voltage).
Selection of MIG operating procedure (8)
Gun trigger logic selection.
Short Press: 2T / 4T selection.
Long Press: Setup functions.
Setup (8)
When the adjustment of SETUP parameters has been conrmed with long press of the SETUP
button (8b), the adjustable parameter is selected via left potentiometer (control knob), and
the name of the parameter is shown on the left display. Parameter value is selected from
right potentiometer (control knob), and the value can be seen on the right display. (See the
information on SETUP functions).
Remote Selection Button (11)
Remote control unit is connected to the device by pressing button 11. The wire feed speed
and welding voltage setting operations are performed via remote control. In this case,
potentiometers 9 and 10 (control knobs) of the panel are disconnected.

3. FASTMIG ERROR CODES
The existence of possible faults in the equipment is investigated in connection with each
wire feed unit start-up. If a fault is detected, the fault in question will be indicated as an ’Err’
message on the panel display.
Error code examples:
Err 2: Undervoltage
The device has stopped because it has detected a mains undervoltage that disturbs welding.
Check the quality of the supply network.
Err 3: Overvoltage
The device has stopped because dangerously high temporary voltage surges or a continuous
over-voltage has been detected in the electric network. Check the quality of the supply
network.
Err 4: Power source is overheated
The power source has overheated. The cause may be one of the following:
• The power source has been used for a long time at maximum power.
• The circulation of cooling air to the power source is blocked.
• The cooling system has experienced a failure.
Remove any obstacle to air circulation, and wait until the power source fan has cooled down
the machine.
Err 5: Water unit alarm
The water circulation is blocked. The cause may be one of the following:
• Congestion or disconnection in the cooling pipeline
• Insucient cooling liquid
• Excessive cooling liquid temperature
Check the circulation of the cooling liquid and the air circulation of the water unit.
Err 54: No data communication from power source
The data transmission between the power source and the wire feed unit has been cut o or is
defective. Check the extension lead and connections.
Err 55: Power source is busy
The communication channel is busy. The power source is being used by another wire feed unit
or the programming for some other device in the channel (e.g. control panel) is in progress.
Err 61: The water unit is not found
Water unit is not connected to the equipment or there is a connection fault.
Connect up the water unit or change the setting of the unit to air-cooled, if you are using a
air-cooled welding gun
Err 153: Overheating of liquid-cooled PMT gun
When starting to weld or during welding, the overheat protection on the liquid-cooled MIG
welding gun has activated. Check that there is sucient liquid in the cooling unit and that
air is circulating freely through it. Ensure that liquid is circulating freely through the cooling
hoses.
Err 154: Overloading of the wire feed motor
The welding has been interrupted because the loading of the wire feed motor has risen to
a high level. The cause of this could be a blockage of the wire line. Check the wire conduit,
contact tip and feed rolls.
Err 155: Warning of the wire feed unit overloading
The wire feed motor load level has risen. The cause could be dirty wire conduits or a gun cable
twisted into sharp curves. Check the state of the gun and clean the wire line if necessary
Err 165: Gas guard alarm
Gas guard function has worked, because the pressure of gas has decreased. Possibly reasons:
Gas is unconnected to the wire feeder. Gas has been ran out, gas hose is leaking or there is no
pressure enough in the gas web. Connect the gas to the wire feeder, check gas hose and the
pressure of the gas web.

does not appear in the display, the fault lies in the welding gun. If this error code pertains,
contact maintenance.
Err 172: A wrong conguration code has been supplied
License activation with DataGun has failed. Turn o the machine, detach DataGun and restart
the machine. Reconnect DataGun. If this error code recurs, contact maintenance.
Err 201: Use of PMT gun is prevented
You try to use the PMT welding gun, but the necessary settings have not been entered into
the machine’s control panel. Select ‘PMT gun’ from the control panel SETUP menu, if you wish
to use it. This fault can also occur with other guns, if the trigger contacts are bad or dirty.
Err 221: Two wire feeders connected with the same device address.
Two wire feed units have the same device address. Dene dierent addresses for the devices
as follows:
1. Press any button on either control panel (except the ESC button). “Add” (Device Address)
is displayed.
2. Change the device address using the right-hand control knob.
3. Return to normal status by pressing again any button on the control panel.
