Claims for damage during shipment – If your unit was damaged during shipment, you must file a claim with the carrier. Hypertherm will furnish you with a copy of the bill of lading upon request. If you need additional assistance, call Customer Service listed in the front of this manual, or your authorized Hypertherm distributor.
INSTALLATION Torch Coolant Requirements The power supply is shipped without any coolant in the tank. Hypertherm recommends a mixture of 30% propylene glycol, 69.9% deionized water, and 0.1% benzotriazole. This mixture resists freezing to +10° F (-12° C) and contains a corrosion inhibitor to protect copper surfaces in the coolant loop. This mixture is available in 1-gallon containers by ordering 028872.
INSTALLATION Water Purity Requirements It is critical to maintain a low level of calcium carbonate in the coolant to avoid reduced performance of the torch or cooling system. Water purity should meet the requirements defined below. Water Purity Conductivity Resistivity Dissolved Grains per Water Purity...

INSTALLATION Placement of the power supply WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN KILL Remove all electrical connections to power supply before moving or positioning. Transporting unit can cause personal injury and equipment damage. The power supply can be moved by forklift but the forks must be long enough to extend the entire length of the base.
INSTALLATION Placement of the gas console assembly • Position the gas console near the cutting table. Allow room to open the hinged top for servicing. Preferred orientation is shown in the figure below. The maximum length of cables between the power supply and gas console is 150 feet (45 m).
INSTALLATION Mount the ignition console assembly • Mount the ignition console on the gantry (bridge). Allow room to remove the top for servicing. Maximum length of the leads between the ignition console and the torch is 15 feet (4.5 m). •...

INSTALLATION Grounding Requirements Proper grounding is essential for personal safety and to prevent emission of high-frequency interference. See Grounding Safety in Section 1 and Appendix A for system grounding requirements. Connect the worktable to a high-quality earth ground, not more than 20 feet (6 m) from the table.
CUTTING WITH OXYGEN CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION Cutting with oxygen as the plasma gas can cause a potential fire hazard due to the oxygen-enriched atmosphere that it creates. As a precaution, Hypertherm recommends that an exhaust ventilation system be installed when cutting with oxygen.
INSTALLATION Power Requirements General All switches, slow-blow fuses and power cables are customer supplied and must be chosen as outlined by applicable national or local electrical codes. Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician. Use a separate primary line disconnect switch for the power supply.
INSTALLATION Connect the power WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN KILL The line disconnect switch must be in the OFF position before making the power cable connections. In the U.S., use a "lock-out/tag-out" procedure until installation is complete. In other countries, follow appropriate national or local safety procedures.

OPERATION Cutting Techniques How to get better cut quality In order to get the best cut quality, ensure the HD4070 plasma system is set up according to the Daily Start- Up procedure in this section. The 3 major components of cut quality are: cut angle, dross, and shape (flatness and smoothness) of the cut surface.
Page 143
OPERATION Dross conditions Dross can occur in the following ways: 1. Low-speed dross forms when the torch travel speed is too slow and the arc shoots ahead. It forms as a heavy, bubbly deposit at the bottom of the kerf and can be easily removed. Normally, increasing the speed will reduce the dross.
OPERATION How to get longer consumable life ® The HD4070 plasma system incorporates Hypertherm's patented LongLife process to extend the life of consumable parts. Full compliance with the LongLife operating procedures that follow, as well as the gas purity requirements listed earlier in this section, is necessary in order to optimize the useful life of consumable parts.
Technical Questions Claims for defective merchandise -- All units shipped from Hypertherm undergo rigorous quality control testing. However, if your system does not function correctly: 1. Recheck all requirements and connections in Section 3, Installation.

MAINTENANCE Initial Checks Before tracking down specific problems, do a visual check and verify proper voltages are present at the power source, transformers and power distribution board. WARNING SHOCK HAZARD: Always use caution when servicing a power supply when plugged in and the covers are removed.
MAINTENANCE Power Measurement 5. Measure the voltage between the W, V and U terminals of TB1 located on the right side of the power supply. See figure above. Also refer to the wiring diagram in Section 7, if required. The voltage between any 2 of the 3 terminals should be equal to the supply voltage.

MAINTENANCE Leak Test Procedure 1. Locate the off-valve assembly. It will be within 4 feet (1.2 meters) of the torch receptacle. See Installation section page 3-11. 2. Disconnect the power cable to the off-valve assembly. See Installation section page 3A-10 or 3B-14. 3.
MAINTENANCE Chopper Module Test Procedure WARNING SHOCK HAZARD: Use extreme care when working near the chopper modules. The large electrolytic capacitor(s) (blue-cased cylinder(s)) store large amounts of energy in the form of electric voltage. Even if the power is off, dangerous voltages exist at the capacitor terminals, on the chopper, and the diode heatsinks.
Page 182
MAINTENANCE 6. If a chopper does not output +311 VDC, check to see if LED1 logic power light is illuminated. If LED1 is extinguished, check if 120V is going to JP6. If there is no 120V at JP6, check wiring back to power distribution board.
MAINTENANCE Phase loss detection board PCB1 status indicators and operation Operation The phase-loss detection circuit checks the incoming voltage and verifies that the voltages between the 3-wire inputs are within +/- 15% of each other. • After contactor CON1 closes, opto-coupler U on PCB1 is activated, shorting pins 1&2 of PL1 together and illuminating LED1.

Appendix A SYSTEM GROUNDING System Grounding Requirements The plasma system must be grounded for safety reasons and to suppress EMI: • Safety The entire system—power supply, accessory enclosures, and worktable—must be grounded to protect it and the operator from a ground fault. The protective earth (PE) ground connections must be installed by a licensed electrician and conform to national or local codes.
The customer must furnish all conductors for equipment grounding. Grounding conductors may be purchased through Hypertherm in any length specified by the customer (Part No. 047058). The conductor may also be purchased locally, using a minimum 8 AWG UL Type MTW cable (USA specification) or the appropriate cable specified by national and local codes.

Use a high-quality, 2-stage, gas regulator to maintain consistent gas supply pressure from high pressure gas cylinders. The high-quality gas regulators listed below are available from Hypertherm and meet U.S. Compressed Gas Association (CGA) specifications. In other countries, select gas regulators that conform to national or local codes.

Appendix E INTEGRATED COMMAND THC SUPPLIMENTAL INFORMATION In this appendix: Command THC serial protocol........................e-2 CNC Serial Interface ............................e-4 HD4070 Instruction Manual...
APPENDIX E – INTEGRATED COMMAND THC SERIAL PROTOCOL AND INTERFACE Command THC serial protocol Commands can be sent over a serial link to control the function of the torch height control. The interface is 4 wire RS422 on the Machine Interface Cable (pins (1) RX-, (20) RX+, (2) TX-, (21) TX+). The serial frame runs at 19200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
Page 256
APPENDIX E – INTEGRATED COMMAND THC SERIAL PROTOCOL AND INTERFACE Application notes: To do manual movements Jog up, down and Step up, down the THC must be in manual mode (Automatic Voltage Control = 0). When the THC receives a Jog up or down command, it will move the torch up/down for 50 milliseconds. If a new command is not received after this time the motion will stop.
HD4070 then contact Hypertherm engineering directly to get the most up-to-date and detailed information. Hypertherm has already developed a low level DLL (dynamic linked library) that will provide the basic plasma system interface to any PC based controller.

The following are suggestions to allow a single CNC system to interface to multiple HD4070 plasma systems using the serial interface. Contact Hypertherm Engineering for more information. If the CNC controller is a PC based controller then possibly the simplest way would be to add an expansion I/O board with the correct number of RS422 serial ports.
