4. Connect the ATC Adapter or Torch Leads Nega-
tive / Plasma Lead to the bulkhead connection
inside the Power Supply.
5. Remove the top nut and washer from the Pilot
Stud.
6. Connect the pilot lead terminal to the stud and
secure with the nut and washer removed previ-
ously.
7. Connect the ATC Adapter or Torch Leads connec-
tors to the power supply adapter.
WARNING
The Shielded ATC Adapter includes two connec-
tors that are not used and must be taped out of the
way to prevent contacting the Negative / Plasma
or Pilot Leads.
8. Tighten the Strain Relief onto the or Torch Leads
ATC Adapter leads.
9. In applications using the torches with ATC Con-
nectors, connect the torch leads male connector
to the ATC female receptacle. The connectors
should push together with a very small amount
of pressure. Secure the connection by turning the
locking nut clockwise until it stops. DO NOT use
the locking nut to pull the connection together.
Do not use tools to secure the connections.

10. Check the torch for proper consumable parts.
CAUTION
The torch parts must correspond with the type of
operation. Refer to the torch manual for details.
3.10 Ground Connections For
Mechanized Applications
A. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Pilot arc initiation generates a certain amount of electro-
magnetic interference (EMI), commonly called RF noise.
This RF noise may interfere with other electronic equip-
ment such as CNC controllers, remote controls, height
controllers, etc. To minimize RF interference, follow these
grounding procedures when installing mechanized sys-
tems:
B. Grounding
1. The preferred grounding arrangement is a single point
or “Star” ground. The single point, usually on the
cutting table, is connected with 1/0 AWG (European
50 mm
2 ) or larger wire to a good earth ground (refer
to paragraph ‘C’, Creating An Earth Ground). The
ground rod must be placed as close as possible to the
cutting table, ideally less than 10 ft (3.0 m), but no
more than 20 ft (6.1 m).
NOTE
All ground wires should be as short as possible.
Long wires will have increased resistance to RF
frequencies. Smaller diameter wire has increased
resistance to RF frequencies, so using a larger di-
ameter wire is better.
2. Grounding for components mounted on the cutting
table (CNC controllers, height controllers, plasma re-
mote controls, etc.) should follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for wire size, type, and connection
point locations.
For Thermal Dynamics components it is recom-
mended to use a minimum of 10 AWG (European 6
mm
2 ) wire or flat copper braid with cross section equal
to or greater than 10 AWG connected to the cutting
table frame. The connection point must be clean bare
metal; rust and paint make poor connections. For all
components, wires larger than the recommended
minimum can be used and may improve noise pro-
tection.
3. The cutting machine frame is then connected to the
“Star” point using 1/0 AWG (European 50 mm
2
) or
larger wire.
