Please take absolute notice ! New Coolant “Kjellfrost” From today Kjellberg Finsterwalde is offering a new antifreezer with improved properties at the same price. The new antifreezer “Kjellfrost” contains anodic and cathodic acting inhibitors. These ingredients are protecting more effective all components of the cooling circuit against corrosion, even if compound members of steel, copper and copper alloys are in the circuit.

The power module of the FineFocus 800 consists of the main transformer, the 12-pulse rectifier, the choke coil, the pilot rectifier with pilot resistors and the power contactors.
A tumbler switch on the PGE 1-800 starts the “gas purge” of the plasma gas, preselected with the selector switch on the FineFocus 800 and the activated swirl gas. The 25-pole control cable connects the PGE 1-800 with the socket X126, placed on the back panel of the FineFocus 800.
The PBA-800 contains the connectors for the water inlet, water return / cathode and the pilot current and furthermore the solenoids with the connectors for the plasma gases and the swirl gas. All components are accessible after opening the safety switch protected cover plate. 036_102...108_BA_engl.doc 10.04.2003 Kjellberg Finsterwalde - Seite 19 -...
Plasma counter PZE 1 The plasma counter PZE 1 records the number of ignitions, the arc stops and the effective cutting time. A 3-pole control cable connects the PZE 1 with FineFocus 800 (back side wall). 4.3.9 Tractor unit FE 1 The transportable tractor unit FE 1 mechanises the cutting process when using the hand torch PB-S75 WH-1.
After the installation is performed the direction of fan rotation has to be checked. The fan switch should close its contact. If not, change two phases on the mains cable on the terminal board. 036_102...108_BA_engl.doc 10.04.2003 Kjellberg Finsterwalde - Seite 21 -...
Depending on the system configuration the plasma torches of the PB-S77 W-1 series will be connected directly to the power source FineFocus 800 or to the plasma ignition box / plasma gas connection unit.
5.2.6 Connection of the plasma gas control unit PGE 1-800 A 25-pole control cable connects the PGE 1-800 with the FineFocus 800. The respective socket X126 is placed on the rear of the power source. The upper rear side of the PGE 1-800 contains the connectors for the plasma gas supply air (PG1) and oxygen (PG2), and the swirl gases nitrogen (WG1) and oxygen (WG2).
5.2.7 Connection of the plasma gas control unit PGE 2-800 The PGE 2 will be connected to the rear wall mounted socket X122 of the FineFocus 800 by a 4-pole cable. The supply connectors for the plasma gases argon (PG3), hydrogen (PG4) and nitrogen (PG 5) are placed on the top, whereas the outlet of the gases are located on the bottom side of rear of the PGE 2-800.
“PG1” of the PGE 1-800 • Open the valve and adjust the pressure so that under gas flow the pressure gauge on the PGE 1- 800 shows the value as given in the cutting chart 036_102...108_BA_engl.doc 10.04.2003 Kjellberg Finsterwalde - Seite 25 -...
PGE 1-800 are showing the values as given in the cutting chart Attention! All components coming in touch with oxygen have to be free of oil and grease! When using oxygen generally the pressure reducer has to be furnished with an explosion protection! 036_102...108_BA_engl.doc 10.04.2003 Kjellberg Finsterwalde - Seite 26 -...
7.1.4). 5.2.14 Connection to CNC-control The control cables for the combination of the control circuit of the plasma cutting unit FineFocus 800 with CNC-equipments have to be provided from the user. The connections X101, X103 and X102 are located at the rear wall of the power source. The contacts of the interface are calculated for 500 mA DC and an operation voltage of 24 V.
