Making a Cut or Mark

Once the material type, material thickness, and process have been selected; the correct
torch parts (consumables) installed; and the X/Y controller and torch height control are
properly configured; the system is ready to cut or mark.
1. Release the OFF Button (turn to the right) and then press the ON Button on the
Plasma Console.
2. The AGC will purge the gas hoses and set the correct gas pressures automatically.
After the pressures have been set, the Gas Console indicator on the Status Screen
will change from red to green.
3. Once the Gas Console indicator is green, the system is ready for cutting or marking.
4. When the system receives a start signal from the X/Y controller, the following
sequence is initiated:
• Two second gas preflow
• RHF/CleanStrike
• Pilot arc initiation
• Transferred arc (cutting or marking arc) established
• Motion output relay energized
When the start signal is removed, the arc is extinguished and the motion output relay
is deenergized.
Check the troubleshooting section if any indicators in this procedure fail to change from
red to green after 10 seconds.
Note: The DC Power indicator will only turn green while cutting.
