Pilot Arc Switch
Used to select pilot arc current range. HIGH position is used for most cutting
applications. Electrode life is adversely affected when used in high position
when low is suitable. Starting may be difficult if set on low when high is re-
quired. Related to the initial torch standoff height.
Cutting Voltage and Current Meters
“A” meter indicates actual cutting current, 0-200 amperes
“V” meter indicates actual output voltage, 0-160 VDC
Output Current Control
Sets the cutting current when current settings are made from the power con-
sole front panel. (The Remote/Panel switch must be in the Panel position.)
Remote/Panel Switch
Panel position – Output current is set by the output current control on the
console front panel as described above.
Remote position – Output current is set by the CNC with an analog dc signal.
