1.1 Equipment description

Kemppi SuperSnake GTX subfeeder is a combined solution for distance wire feeding and restricted access welding with

or without water cooling. It extends the reach of MIG/MAG welding guns up to 30 meters, providing simple distance

wire feeding for a variety of filler wires.

SuperSnake GTX subfeeder is delivered with Kemppi's steel spiral wire liner by default. DL Chili wire liner is available as

an option.

If the SuperSnake GTX subfeeder is not available in your X5 FastMig welding equipment's subfeeder settings, the

equipment firmware must be updated to the latest release version.

System

Subfeeder equipment:

1. SuperSnake GTX subfeeder

2. SuperSnake GTX protective frame

3. SuperSnake GTX interconnection cable

Other equipment:

4. MIG/MAG welding gun

5. Voltage sensing cable

Subfeeder face

1. Pressure arm locking and adjusting mechanism

SuperSnake GTX

Operating manual - EN

2. Wire feed roll (drive roll)

3. Wire feed roll (pressure roll)

4. Wire outlet guide tube

5. Wire inlet guide tip

6. Subfeeder control panel

>> Displays for wire feed speed / welding current and for fine tuning

>> Error indicator (red), warning indicator (yellow)

7. Control knobs

>> A: Wire feed speed and/or welding current

>> B: Fine tuning (e.g. voltage, depending on welding process)

Automatic control knob activation: When the control knobs are not used, they are automatically deactivated to pre-

vent accidental changing of welding parameters. The control knob functions are activated again by turning either of

the control knobs a quarter of a turn. When active, the LED indicator between the control knobs turns green.

8. Wire inch and Gas test buttons

9. Welding ON/OFF indicator (lock)

>> Lock symbol is lit if the welding is turned off from the switch (10)

10. Welding ON/OFF switch

>> Prevents welding with the subfeeder if set to OFF.

The welding ON/OFF switch doesn't power down the subfeeder.

Subfeeder front connections

1. Welding cable Euro connector (for welding gun)

2. Control cable connector (e.g. for remote control)

2. INSTALLATION

Do not power on the equipment before the mechanical installation is complete.

Place the equipment on a stable and clean ground, the subfeeder control panel facing up. Protect the equipment

from rain and direct sunshine.

Before installation and use

Disconnect the welding machine from the mains before starting the subfeeder installation.

Always check before use that welding cables, shielding gas hose, earth return cable/clamp and mains cable are in ser-

viceable condition. Ensure that the connectors are correctly fastened. Loose connectors can impair welding per-

formance and damage connectors.

•The product is packed in specially designed transport cartons. However, always before use make sure the products

have not been damaged during transportation.

•Check also that you have received the components you ordered and that the operating manuals are available.

•Straighten the subfeeder cable by carrying the subfeeder close to the work place.

•Before loading the filler wire, ensure that there are no tight bends in the cable.

•Ensure that the correct wire liner is fitted and installed correctly for the intended welding application.

•Before welding, ensure that the installation as well as the filler wire, shielding gas, cooler and voltage sensing cable

preparations are completed.

Lifting subfeeder

SuperSnake GTX subfeeder can be lifted with a hoist and a 4-legged strap connected to the corners of the protective

frame. Without the protective frame, lifting the subfeeder with a hoist is not possible.

For lifting, temporarily coil the cables and tie them to the hoist hook (as applicable) so that the full weight of the cables

doesn't rest solely on the subfeeder connectors.

2.1 Subfeeder installation

Before connecting or loading the filler wire into the subfeeder, the wire feed rolls must be installed and the mechanism

must be set. Ensure that the feed rolls suit the filler wire size and type. Refer to "Feed roll kit selection" on page33 for

more information.

It is not recommended to use knurled feed rolls in the main wire feeder unit when using the SuperSnake GTX sub-

feeder. They may apply too much friction on the filler wire at the wire feeder end preventing the best possible out-

come with the SuperSnake GTX subfeeder.

The subfeeder is delivered with a standard wire line component kit and with steel spiral wire liner, if not specified oth-

erwise. Feed rolls are purchased separately. Ensure you have the correct components and feed rolls available and

installed.

Tools needed:

1. Open the feed mechanism door.

2. Release the pressure arm by lifting it up from the end.

Operating manual - EN

3. Remove the feed roll fixing pins (B) by pulling them up.

4. Install the wire inlet guide tip. Secure the component in place with a spanner.

5. Install the wire outlet guide by inserting it from the welding gun end of the subfeeder.
