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 engine

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.
