5. Plasma Power Supply Enable / Disable Switch
The DISABLE position removes input power from the Power Supply inverters, disables the coolant pump and
fan, the pilot contactor & HF and removes AC power from the gas control solenoids shutting off all gas flow.
When the switch is returned to the ENABLE position an automatic gas purge is started and then the system is
returned to normal operation under control of the CNC device.
6. PREFLOW Control Knob and Pressure Gauge
Used to set preflow gas pressure and flow. MODE switch must be in SET PREFLOW position.
7. PLASMA and SHIELD Control Knobs, Pressure Gauges and Flow Meter
Used to set plasma and shield gas pressures and flows. Mode switch must be in SET PLASMA & SHIELD position.
8. Gas Pressure Flow Switch
At lower flow rates shield gas pressure is first set per the cut charts then the flow is set using the flow meter with
the GAS switch set in the FLOW position. Some torch parts require higher flow rates that exceed the capacity
of the flow meter. In that case, Gas switch is set in the PRESSURE position and the regulator and gauge is used
to set pressure per the cut charts when no “Ball” setting is shown.
