3.04 Position the Power Supply WARNINGS Do not touch live electrical parts. Disconnect input power conductors from de-energized supply line before moving unit. FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause serious personal injury and equipment damage. Use all four lifting eyes when using lifting straps to lift the power supply. Use a forklift, crane, or hoist to lift the unit off the shipping pallet as shown.
3.05 Primary Power Connections The primary power cable must be supplied by the end user and connected to the power supply. Refer to local and national electrical codes for suggested cable and fuse sizes. Remove the connections cover on the rear of the Power Supply. Use caution when removing the panel; there is a ground wire connected to the inside of the panel.
Page 44
Check / Adjust Input Voltage Configuration (208-230 / 460 V Only) 1. The power supply includes a voltage configuration board which must be positioned to match the primary input voltage. Remove the power supply left side panel and locate the voltage configuration board. The input voltage configuration is shown at the top of the board.
Page 45
Connect Input Power and System Ground Cables 1. Carefully cut back the outer sheath on the primary input power cable to expose the individual wires. Cut back the insulation on the individual wires. Route the cable upward through the connections cover support panel on the rear panel of the power supply.

For Thermal Dynamics components (except Arc Starter and Gas Control Module) it is recommended to use a minimum of 10 AWG (European 6 mm ) wire or flat copper braid with cross section equal to or greater than 10 AWG connected to the cutting table frame.
Page 49
C. Creating An Earth Ground 1. To create a solid, low resistance, earth ground, drive a 1/2 in (12 mm) or greater diameter copper clad ground rod at least 6 - 8 ft (1.8 - 2.4 m) into the earth so that the rod contacts moist soil over most of its length. Depending on location, a greater depth may be required to obtain a low resistance ground (see NOTE).
D. Routing Of Torch Leads 1. To minimize RF interference, position torch leads as far as possible from any CNC components, drive motors, control cables, or primary power lines. If cables have to pass over torch leads, do so at an angle. Do not run the plasma control or other control cables in parallel with the torch leads in power tracts.
3.08 Connect Gas Supply Lines 1. Connect the gas supply lines to the appropriate input ports as shown. Plasma Gas - In Water - In Shield Gas - In RETURN SUPPLY RETURN SUPPLY Art # A-04844 Manual No. 0-4805 Auto-Cut 200 3-13 INSTALLATION...

3.13 Torch Head Installation and Connection Install the Torch as follows: 1. Install the torch mounting block on the cutting table (gantry). Fasten the block in place. 2. Leave the end cap in place on the torch leads. Remove and discard the protective end caps from the Mounting Tube.
5. Slide the positioning tube down to the torch head. Hold the torch head stationary. Rotate the positioning tube onto the torch head. Pull the leads back as needed to ensure a proper fit through the Mounting Tube. Do not let the torch leads twist. CAUTION Ensure that the leads do not twist within the mounting tube.

5. Use the removal tool to hold the cartridge assembly, while turning the shield cup onto the cartridge assembly. When this group is fully assembled, the shield should protrude from the front of the shield cup 0.063" to 0.083" (1.6 - 2.1 mm). Without this protrusion the shield cup is not properly tightened onto the cartridge assembly.

Slide the ohmic clip over the shield cup if using ohmic torch height sensing. NOTE Ohmic height sensing is not recommended with water shield. Water on the plate interferes electrically with the ohmic sensing circuit.

Complete the Installation 1. Fill the coolant tank to the level shown, with Thermal Dynamics coolant. The coolant level is visible through the translucent coolant tank. The amount of coolant required varies with torch leads length. 2. Replace the cap on the tank.
Page 65
NOTE Depending on the length of the torch leads, the system may require more coolant after turning the system ON for the first time. a. Place the ON/OFF Switch to ON. The power supply will start to circulate coolant throughout the system. b.

4.03 Operating Set-up Follow this set-up procedure each time the system is operated: WARNING Disconnect primary power at the source before assembling or disassembling power supply, torch parts, torch and leads assemblies or adding coolant. A. Coolant Level Inspection Check the coolant level in the coolant tank at the rear of the unit. If the tank is below 3/4 full, add coolant. B.
Page 72
H. Plasma Gas Purge Move the Power Supply ON/OFF switch to the ON position. An automatic gas purge will remove any condensation that may have accumulated in the torch and leads while the system was shut down. After the purge is complete, if the RUN/SET switch is in SET position, gases will flow.
4.04 Cut Quality Cut quality requirements differ depending on application. For instance, nitride build-up and bevel angle may be major factors when the surface will be welded after cutting. Dross-free cutting is important when finish cut quality is desired to avoid a secondary cleaning operation. Cut quality will vary on different materials and thicknesses. Kerf Width Cut Surface Bevel Angle...
Page 74
Direction of Cut The plasma gas stream swirls as it leaves the torch to maintain a smooth column of gas. This swirl effect results in one side of a cut being more square than the other. Viewed along the direction of travel, the right side of the cut is more square than the left.
4.05 System Operation This section contains operating information which is specific to the power supply. WARNINGS Frequently review the safety precautions in Section 1. Disconnect primary power at the source before assembling or disassembling power supply, torch parts, or torch and leads assemblies, or adding coolant. It is not enough to simply move the ON/OFF switch on the unit to OFF position when cutting operations have been completed.
Page 76
4. Place RUN/SET switch to SET mode. a. Gases flow to set pressures. 5. Place RUN/SET switch to RUN mode. a. Gas flow stops. 6. Protect eyes and start torch. a. Gas pre-flows starts. 7. After gas pre-flow: a. Power supply enabled. DC lamp turns ON. 8.
Page 77
Operational Suggestions 1. Wait five minutes before setting the ON/OFF switch to OFF after operation. This allows the cooling fan to run to dissipate operating heat from the power supply. 2. For maximum parts life, do not operate the pilot arc any longer than necessary. 3.
