Engine-Driven
Big Blue® 500X Pro
Heavy industrial
See literature ED/11.0
Processes
Clean, quiet, multiprocess machines designed to give welders the output they need for
heavy-duty applications on construction and fabrication sites.
Diesel
Meter maintenance displays include coolant temperature,
oil pressure, battery voltmeter and fuel gauge/hour meter/
oil change interval/engine shutdown indicator.
Infinite arc control allows the arc characteristics to
be changed for specific applications in stick, MIG and
flux-cored welding.
Low OCV stick (VRD) for improved operator safety without
compromising arc starts.
Auto Remote Sense™ (ARS) detects if a remote control
is plugged into the 14-pin receptacle and eliminates
confusion of a remote/panel switch.
Thermal overload protection prevents machine damage if
the duty cycle is exceeded or airflow is blocked.
CE compliant.
Standard features include digital
preset weld meters, automatic idle,
and cold weather starting aids.
Deluxe models add a polarity
reversing switch and a vandalism
lockout (protects control panel and
receptacles, see photo at right).

Diesel
Meter maintenance displays include coolant temperature,
oil pressure and fuel gauge/hour meter/oil change interval/
engine shutdown indicator.
Enclosed robust case design protects internal components
from impact and allows air flow to cool and prolong the life
of the engine. Also reduces sound levels.
Hot Start™ provides positive stick electrode starts making it
easy to start all types of electrodes and it also works great
for bead tie-ins.
Arc-Drive™ makes welding easy. Automatically enhances
stick welding, especially on pipe, by focusing the arc and
preventing the electrode from going out.
5,500-watt peak AC power independent of weld settings
means no interaction between tools and welding arc.
Quick and easy maintenance with single-side access to
oil level check, oil fill, oil filter, fuel filter and air cleaner.
CE compliant.
