HTP Micro Cut 380, Быстрый старт

Страница: 7 / 12

1) ON-OFF SWITCH
– the On-Off switch is located on the
rear of your Micro Cut 380. I is on and O is off. When the
switch is in the on position, it will light up.
2) CUTTING POWER ADJUSTMENT – the cutting power
adjustment controls the cutting amperage of your Micro Cut
380. It is infinitely variable from 15 to 30 amps. At the lower
power settings, the machine will throw fewer sparks - but will
also cut slower. The maximum cutting power will give you the
maximum cutting speed through all materials.
3) AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR
– use the air pressure
regulator to adjust the pressure gauge on the front of the cutter
to 65 psi. The pressure regulator also has a filter, which should
be drained regularly.
4) AIR PRESSURE GUAGE – the air pressure gauge measures
the plasma gas pressure and should be set to 65 psi for optimum
cutting performance. To adjust the plasma gas pressure, flip the
air purge switch (#8) to start air flowing. Adjust the regulator to
achieve the correct pressure while air is flowing through the
plasma torch.
5) YELLOW "CUTTING CURRENT LIGHT – when this
lamp is on, the trigger on the cutting torch is depressed and
either the pilot arc or the cutting arc has been activated. This
lamp will not be illuminated with the trigger depressed when:
A) The cutting arc has been interrupted because the torch was
moved too far away from the workpiece.
B) If the cutting arc is not brought in contact with the
workpiece within 2 seconds.
C) If the electrode or cutting tip is worn out.
6) RED "GENERAL ALARM" LIGHT
– this lamp will
illuminate red when the duty cycle of the machine has been
exceeded (30% @ 30 amps). This lamp also indicates an
overvoltage or undervoltage condition. Reset is automatic.
The lamp will also illuminate when the air pressure is too low.
Reset is also automatic.
7) YELLOW "AIR PRESSURE" LIGHT – your Micro Cut
380 has a safety sensing circuit which has been installed to
eliminate the arc ignition if the air pressure and volume are
inadequate. If this occurs, the yellow air pressure light will be
illuminated. Once air pressure has been restored, the light will
go out. Your Micro Cut 380 requires 65 psi of air when air is
flowing through the torch.
8) AIR PURGE SWITCH
– the air purge switch allows you
to purge air through the torch, allows you to manually cool the
cutting torch after long periods of cutting, and allows you to set
the air pressure while flowing air through the plasma torch.
To purge the torch, simply flip the toggle switch up and release.
Air will flow for approximately 30 seconds and stop.
9) GREEN "POWER ON" LIGHT
– when the machine is
correctly connected to a 220 volt input power supply, and the
on-off switch at the rear of the plasma cutter is turned on, a
green light will be illuminated, indicating your Micro Cut 380
is connected to the correct power supply.
10) GROUND CABLE CONNECTION – this is where
the ground cable connects to the front of your Micro Cut 380.
Align the tab on the ground clamp with the notch in the
connection. Insert the ground clamp and twist to lock in place.
Be sure to connect the ground to the workpiece properly.

Operation
1. Be sure your Micro Cut 380 is connected to a clean, dry
source of com-pressed air with a line pressure of at least 80
but not more than 140 psi. Be sure the air pressure is
adjusted to 65 psi (see Micro Cut 380 Controls #4)
2. Connect your Micro Cut 380 to a 220-volt power supply.
(See electrical connection). Turn the On-Off switch on the
back of the unit on. The green "power on" light will turn on.
The fan will begin to run.
3. Set your cutting power adjustment to the desired amperage.
(usually 30 amps)
4. Refer to the safety suggestions to be sure the operator has
the correct eye protection, gloves, clothing, and that all of the
safety precautions have been followed.
