Hand Pendant switch)

a. Main arc stops.

b. Pilot arc stops (power supply enable signal re-

moved).

immediately restart.

If torch is within 3/8 in (9.5mm) transfer distance
of workpiece, main arc will transfer.

12. Gas will flow for 15 seconds (post-flow).

a. Gas solenoid closes

b. Gas flow stops.

c. GAS indicator turns OFF.

13. Place the ON/OFF power switch on the front

4.04 Preparations for Operating

Follow this set-up procedure each time the system is op-
erated:

WARNING

Disconnect primary power at the source before dis-
assembling the power supply, torch, or torch leads.

A. Torch Parts Selection

Check the torch for proper assembly and appropriate front
end torch parts. The torch parts (shield cup, tip and elec-
trode) must correspond with the type of operation (cut-
ting or gouging).

B. Check Primary Power Source

1. Check the power source for proper input voltage. Make

sure the input power source meets the power require-
ments for the unit per Section 2.03-A-4, Specifications/
Design Features.

2. Connect the input power cable (or close the main dis-

connect switch) to supply power to the system.

C. Gas Selection

Select desired gas (air or nitrogen). Make sure gas source
meets pressure and flow requirements (refer to Section
3.08, Gas Connections). Check connection and turn gas
supply on.

D. Work Cable Connection

Check for a solid and clean work cable connection to the
workpiece or cutting table. The area must be free from
paint and rust.

E. Torch Connection

Check that the torch is properly connected.

F. Power Supply On

Move the ON/OFF switch to ON position.

G. Select Output Current

Select the desired current output level for the operation:

• 15 to 80 amps for standoff cutting and gouging

• 15 to 35 amps for drag cutting

NOTE

At output settings over 35 amps, the power sup-
ply automatically reduces output current to 35
amps if the torch tip touches the workpiece.
