Section 3: Installation
Initial Inspection
All systems undergo full testing before being shipped from the factory. In the unlikely
event that one of the components is defective or missing, please contact customer
service so that a replacement can be sent. Also, special care has been taken in the
packaging of the system. If the system was damaged during shipment, file a claim with
the shipping company, and then contact customer service to order the necessary parts.
Component Placement
Plasma Power Supply
The power supply should be lifted by a forklift or pallet jack. In order to prevent
damaging the power supply, the forks should be of adequate length to protrude on the
far side of the power supply. The proper location of the power supply will provide
dependable service and reduce periodic maintenance time. Choose a location that will
provide unrestricted air movement into and out of the power supply. Maintain
at least
24 inches
of space on
all
sides of the unit. The location should subject the power
supply to the least amount of dust, dirt, moisture, and corrosive vapors. The surface on
which the power supply is located should have a grade of no greater than 10º to
eliminate the risk of toppling over. The power supply must be cleaned as often as
necessary to prevent the accumulation of metallic dust inside the unit. See Section 2
for unit dimensions.
Automatic Gas Console (AGC)
The AGC is usually mounted on the gantry of the cutting machine. See Section 2 for
mounting dimensions.
Plasma Console
The plasma console should be mounted near the CNC controller so that it is easy
accessible by the operator. See Section 2 for mounting dimensions.
Arc Starting Console (ASC)
The ASC should be mounted in a convenient location that is away from other electronic
control devices. The ASC with CleanStrike
™
Technology offers significantly reduced
emissions compared to ASC with RHF, however, the high voltage pulse generated
inside the unit may interfere with the operation of sensitive control electronics. The ASC
is usually mounted on the gantry of the cutting machine or on the cutting table. See
Section 2 for mounting dimensions.
5-Gang Manifold
The 5-gang manifold assembly must be mounted within 6 feet (1.8 m) of the torch. See
Section 2 for mounting dimensions.
