10. Install plasma torch lead into the cable guard from the X

carriage to the electrical cabinet and pass it through the

rectangular access hole to bottom of track.

Note:

Do not try to pass the torch lead through

the stepped section between the Y and X axis

cable guards. Simply run the torch lead along

the outside.

11. Plug the torch leads into the plasma power supply.

12. Plug in the ground cable, and route the loose end of the

cable under the back of the machine and up to the water

table.

13. Connect the included Hypertherm control cable to the

electrical cabinet and plasma source (this cable is a 14-

pin CPC connector on one end and a 7-pin threaded -body

connector on the other). For more information on this

cable see "Plasma Source Control" (page 47).

14. Reinstall the cable guard covers that you removed in

Step 3.

4.9 MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

1. Locate the cable cover with the integrated E-Stop and

Reset button. The cable for the Reset button and E-Stop

contains a green and yellow ground lead with a ring

terminal on the end. Attach this ground lead for the

reset panel to the fourth M6 mounting screw on the

electrical cabinet that you left unpopulated earlier.

2. Pass the connector for the reset panel down through

cable track.

3. Install the reset panel / cable cover using four M4 socket

head cap screws.

Note:

The two inboard screws are slightly

longer.

4. Plug in all connectors at rear of cabinet, following the

"Connectors Reference" (page 45) guide in the "System

Basics" (page 43) section.

5. Pass the ground wire through the hole in the side panel,

and then connect it to the ground block on the underside

of the water table.

4.10 INSTALL MACHINE ARM AND CONNECT

CONTROLLER

1. Bolt your machine arm to the mounting pad on either

the left or right hand leg of the machine.
