3.6. Connecting to the welding or plasma cutting circuits 

The carriage can control two torches by using the arc ignition cable plugged into the 

arc  ignition  socket.  To  do  this,  according  to  the  diagram  shown  in  Fig. 10  connect 

one blue-jacketed wire to one terminal of the welding / plasma cutting circuit. Then, 

connect  the  other  blue-jacketed  wire  to  the  other  terminal  of  the  same  circuit. 

To control the second torch, connect the green-jacketed wires to the terminals of the 

second welding circuit.

Connecting the arc ignition cable to welding / plasma cutting circuits 

Make  sure  that  the

 

arc

 

ignition

 

cable

 

is

 

connected

 

correctly.  To  do  this,  turn  on  the 

power  of  the  carriage,  and  then  set

 

the  arc  ignition

 

switch

 

to  TEST.  This  should 

enable the arc for a while.
