3. Red LED
Is illuminated when there is output voltage.
4. Cutting current potentiometer
5. Yellow LED
Indicates there is not enough air pressure. Pressure must be adjusted from 4 to 6 bar maximum (57-86 psi). If 6
bar is exceeded the internal solenoid valve releases air.
6. Yellow LED
Blinks if the inside temperature reaches dangerous values.
7. Ground Cable
8. Plasma Cutting Torch
9. Air Pressure Regulator
10. Gauge
11. Cable clamp for input cable
2/4 TIMES FUNCTION: The machine is protected against the chance striking of
the pilot arc. Bring the torch nozzle near the edge of the workpiece (3mm), press the torch button,
release it and press it again within 3 seconds. After approximately 0.5 seconds (pre-air) the pilot arc
is struck (max duration 3 seconds on air). If the distance is correct, the pilot arc immediately transfers
to the workpiece causing the cutting arc to be struck.
GETTING STARTED
Disconnect primary power at the source before assembling or disassembling stacked modules,
individual modules, torch parts, or torch and leads assemblies.
A. Torch Parts
Check the torch for proper assembly. Install proper torch parts for the desired application (refer to Section called
Torch Consumable Parts Selection). NOTE: The power supply will not operate unless the torch shield cup is fully
seated against the PIP (Parts in Place) pins in the torch head.
B. Input Power
1. Check the power source for proper input voltage.
2. Make sure the power source meets circuit protection and wiring requirements.
3. Plug unit in and close main disconnect switch to supply primary power to the system.
C. Ground Cable
Check for a solid ground cable connection to the workpiece.
D. Purge System
Place the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The ON light will flicker momentarily as the system powers up
and then stays on. Activate the torch button to initiate gas purge (pre-flow) to will remove any condensation that
may have accumulated in the torch and leads while the system was shut down. When the gas purge is complete,
pilot arc will be initiated.
DO NOT initiate pilot arc during adjustment.
E. Checking Air Quality
To check air quality, deactivate the torch (post-flow) and place a welding filter lens in front of the torch. Any
oil or moisture in the air will be visible on the lens.
DO NOT initiate pilot arc while checking air quality.
F. Ready for Operation
The system is now ready for operation.
