MODES 

2.1.2.1 AUTO MODE 

When the contacts of the Automatic/Manual switch are closed, the 

HF100 is in Automatic mode. The torch moves to the configured 
clearance from the workpiece and maintains that location even when the 
position of the workpiece changes.   

Using the Up/Down switch manually, and while in Automatic mode, 

overrides the automatic height adjustment configuration. When the 
Up/Down switch is released, the torch moves back to the clearance 
setting configured in the automatic height adjustment. 

 

2.1.2.2 MANUAL MODE 

When the contacts of the Automatic/Manual switch are open, the 

HF100 is in Manual mode. The position of the torch is controlled using the 
Up/Down switches and the lifter moves at the maximum speed. When the 
Up/Down switch is released, the action of the lifter is stopped using 
dynamic braking to allow for exact manual positioning. If both the 
Up/Down inputs are operated at the same time, the torch moves upward.

2.1.3 LIMIT SWITCHES 

Limit switches impede the movement of the torch lifter when they are 

triggered. The HF100 supports only normally 

closed limit switches so that malfunctioning limit switches can be 

recognized by the control.

3 INSTALLATION  

The following section provides you with the procedure to follow when 

installing the HF100. Some of the steps direct you to other sections in this 
manual that provide you with more detailed instruction. 

1. Attach the flexible coupling to the coaxial tube using the M10 thread. 

Tighten the locking nut using an 11/16 inch (17mm) wrench. The flexible 
coupling located between the coaxial tube and ring sensor lets the sensor ring 
deflect in case of a collision.   

2. Attach the ring sensor to the flexible coupling and tighten the attachment 

screw using a Phillips-head screwdriver. Position the sensor so that the torch 
is aligned in the center of the ring to ensure proper operation. Align the tip of 
the torch and the lower edge of the ring sensor to achieve high resolution and 
avoid collisions between the sensor ring and torch tip. The sensor ring can be 
installed as high as 1/8 of an inch (3 mm) above the torch tip. 

3. Determine a mounting location for the HF100. Keep the following points in 

mind: 

To avoid overheating and potential damage to the control box from cutting
