4 START-UP CHECKS 

 

Before performing the start-up checks, be sure that you have successfully 

completed the installation steps outlined in section 3 of this manual. 
 

1. Disconnect the Connector from the X1 receptacle. 

 

2. Check the resistance between the Automatic/Manual and Up/Down switches 

using an ohmmeter. 

 

Place one of the 
leads of the 
ohmmeter in pin 
number: 

Place the other 

lead of the 

ohmmeter in pin 

number: 

Then, 

The ohmmeter display   

should show: 

push the torch 

UP 

switch 

<10 Ohms 

push the torch 

DOWN switch 

<10 Ohms 

AUTO MODE 

<10 Ohms 

 

3. Reconnect the Connector to X1 and set the lifter to Manual mode. 

 

4. Apply the main power supply to the controller. The lifter must not move. 

 

5. Verify the LED located on the front panel of the Controller. 

 

6. Briefly push the Up/Down switch to the DOWN position. The torch lifter must 

travel downwards for as long as the switch is pressed. Briefly push the Up/Down 
switch to the UP position. The torch lifter must travel upwards for as long as the switch 
is pressed. If the lifter direction of travel does not correspond to the Up/Down switch 
positions, the field or armature connections of the lifter motor must be changed. Refer 
to section 6 in this document for trouble shooting information.   
 

7. Verify that the lifter travel limit switch assignments correspond with torch lifter 

direction of movement by performing the following checks:   
 

Move the Up/Down switch to the DOWN position and then trigger the 

corresponding down travel limit switch by hand. The lifter should stop when the limit 
switch is triggered.   
 

Move the Up/Down switch to the UP position and then trigger the corresponding 

up travel limit switch by hand. The lifter should stop when the limit switch is triggered.   
 

Operate the lifter manually using the Up/Down limit switches. The lifter should 

stop when it hits the travel limit switch. Then, you should be able to back-off of the 
triggered limit switch by reversing the direction of the lifter. 
 

8. Adjust the measuring system by performing the steps outlined in section 4.1 on 

page 16 of this manual. 
 

4.1 ADJUSTING THE MEASURING SYSTEM 

 

To provide the proper amount of clearance, a high-frequency current is used to 

determine the capacitance between the sensor ring and work piece. Due to varying 
high-frequency cable lengths and sensor rings, you must fine-tune the measuring 
system before performing a cutting sequence. 
 

After replacing a high-frequency cable or sensor ring, re-adjust the measuring 

system using the steps outlined below. 
 

To adjust the measuring system, perform the following steps: 

 

1. 

Check to be sure that the measuring system is completely installed and 

correctly wired. Double-check to be sure that the: 
 

HF100 is connected to the sensor ring components by way of the appropriate HF
