Switching off the machine
Caution
–
Hot surface!
The area around the plasma generator nozzle may reach temperatures of up to 200 °C.
- Wait until the machine has cooled down if you need to touch this area.
- After use, store the machine only in places that are not temperature-sensitive or are
not combustible.
To switch off, perform the following steps in the specified order:
1. Operation with a higher-level system control: To stop the plasma process, disconnect
PIN K and PIN C (see 2.2.5). Note the gas follow-on time of 2 seconds. During this
time, the machine must not be switched off or disconnected from the mains under any
circumstances!
Operation with an optional remote control: To stop the plasma process, press the
“PLASMA ON/OFF” switch on the remote control. Note the follow
-on time of 2 seconds.
During this time, the machine must not be switched off or disconnected from the mains
under any circumstances!
2. Operation with a higher-level system control: The solenoid valve must be closed to
interrupt the gas flow. To do this, disconnect PIN K and PIN A. After that, no more
hissing can be heard at the nozzle.
Operation with an optional remote control:
Press the “GAS ON/OFF” switch on the
remote control (#6). This interrupts the gas flow to the plasma generator. After that, no
more hissing can be heard at the nozzle.
3. Fully close the throttle valve for compressed air supply (#3).
4. Close the pressure gauge on the maintenance unit for compressed air supply (#5).
5.
Switch off the stand-
alone unit by toggling the master switch (#1) to position “O”.
✓
The machine is switched off.
Attention
–
Damage to machine!
Do not switch off the system while gas is still flowing (2 seconds).
The gas follow-on time must have elapsed completely before the entire system is
switched off, otherwise the plasma generator may overheat even if it is already
switched off.
