7.
OUTPUT CURRENT ADJUSTMENT KNOB
adjusts the cutting current supplied by the machine
according to the thickness of material and travel speed of the PLASMA TORCH.
8.
CUTTING MODE SELECTOR
toggles between solid metal (A) and expanded metal (B) (interrupted
cutting).
9.
DIGITAL DISPLAY
displays output amperage during normal operation or a fault code if there is a
machine fault.
10.
THERMAL FAULT LED
flashes yellow when the thermal protection or other fault is activated.
11.
TORCH LED
illuminates red when PLASMA TORCH is triggered. (Flashes if there is a torch fault - F03,
F06, F07).
12.
INPUT POWER LED
illuminates green when the POWER SWITCH is ON and input is within the normal
range for 240 VAC. When the input voltage is within the normal range for 120 VAC the LED illuminates
white. The LED flashes if the input power is outside the acceptable range.
Grounding Requirements
• To ensure personal safety, proper operation, and to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), the plasma cutting
machine must be properly grounded.
• The plasma cutting machine must be grounded through the INPUT POWER CABLE according to national and local
electrical standards.
• Single-phase service must be of the 3-wire type with a green or green/yellow wire for the protective earth ground.
Do not use 2-wire service.
Air Supply
• The plasma cutting machine does not include a built-in air compressor; therefore, a source of clean, dry air or
nitrogen must be supplied to your plasma cutting unit.
• The supplied air pressure should be between 100-130 PSI (6.9-9.0 bar). NOTE: The flow rate is approximately 6.6
cu.ft./min.
• Use a hose with an internal diameter of 3/8” or greater. Do not use hoses with an internal diameter less than 3/8
inch. Hoses that are too small can cause issues with cut quality and cut performance.
• The unit will not operate if the input air pressure is below 85 PSI. (5.9 bar)
• In-line particulate filtration is recommended upstream of the PLASMA CUTTING MACHINE to avoid damage to the
PLASMA TORCH.
• Failure to observe these parameters could result in excessive operating temperatures and/or damage to PLASMA
TORCH or machine.
MOISTURE SEPARATOR AND AUTOMATIC PURGE
• Oil and moisture in the air may damage the machine.
• The unit is equipped with an air filter, which captures the water and oil vapor in the supplied air.
• Water captured by the filter is automatically purged.
• The equipped MOISTURE SEPARATOR is designed to remove small amounts of moisture and oil from the air supply. If
you are operating in a humid environment, it may be necessary to put additional filtering in the air supply line before
its input to the machine. Use additional filtering if a spray of moisture can be seen coming out of the torch head
during pilot arc, there are signs of moisture on the CUTTING TIP or workpiece after cutting, or if cut quality is poor.
• Be sure and select a filter that is rated for the pressure and air flow requirements listed above.
Torch Consumable Parts (Replacement or Inspection of Consumables)
USE ONLY THE PLASMA TORCH THAT CAME CONNECTED TO YOUR MACHINE OR A
CERTIFIED REPLACEMENT.
