1. Never operate the plasma cutter on a generator that is not certified by its manufacturer to be "clean" power, which is less than 10%
total harmonic distortion. Less than 5% THD is preferred. Operating the unit on square wave output or modified sine wave generators
is strictly prohibited. Contact the manufacturer of the generator for this information. Everlast does not have an "approved" list of
generators. But, if the generator is not listed as clean power by its manufacturer, then operation is prohibited. Generators that do not
at least meet the operating input requirements of the plasma cutter are also forbidden to be used with the unit. Surge amp capability of
the generator should equal or exceed the maximum inrush demand of the plasma cutter. But the surge capability should not be used
as the only factor. The regular, running output of the generator should match or exceed the running or "rated" demand of the welder.
Any damage done by operating the unit on a generator not specified by its manufacturer to be "clean", will not be covered under war-
ranty. This also includes suspect power sources where voltage is below 208 V and above 249 V.
2. To properly size the breaker, the I1MAX should be used in determining breaker size. To size the wiring, the I1EFF rating should be used
to help determine the proper wire size. The NEC in Article 630.11 allows a derating of the wire size based off of duty cycle. The re-
quirements are different than the requirements for most other 240V electrical products. However, consult a licensed electrician and
local codes before installing any wiring or breakers.
Parameters
N/A This allows the unit to be used with a CNC machine and provides the basic inputs for CNC opera-
tion. See pin-out section located in the back of this manual.
On/Off The 2 pole breaker switch serves as the On/Off switch for the cutter. Always turn the cutter on
and off by the switch first before using any disconnect switch.
220/240 V The PowerPlasma 60S and 80S S will operate on 220/240 V 50/60 Hz power, including good quali-
1 phase ty 208 V power. The wiring contains 3 separate wires. Everlast uses standard sized wiring and
(110 X2) correct plugs (NEMA 6-50P) for welders and plasma cutters in the US and Canada. (Other coun-
Plug: tries will vary according to regional requirements). Standard wire colors are L-1 black (hot), L-2
NEMA 6-50P white (hot), and green (ground) for 1 phase 220/240 V. Do not attempt to use a 4 wire 1 phase
220/240 connection. NOTE: In many home circuits, red and black are the power wires. But in
standard welding/ plasma cutting circuitry, white and black are hot wires. Green is always the
ground in both circuits. There is NO neutral in a standard welder circuit. The units are shipped
with a standard NEMA 6-50P plug. Always consult a licensed electrician who is aware of local
codes before attempting any wiring of the welder or of the power supply circuits. Everlast is not
responsible for any mis-wiring or damage caused to the unit by incorrectly wiring the welder. If
additional help is needed, contact Everlast. Disconnect the plasma cutter when not in use.
N/A The gas input line is connected to the regulator assembly via the clear tubing provided in the
accessory package. To attach, simply push the tubing into the connector until it is firmly seated
then give a slight tug to make sure it has been captured correctly by the fitting. Make sure that
the tubing shoulder is squarely cut and not cut at an angle. An uneven or angular cut will cause
leaking at the connector. If the tubing must be removed, simply push on the outer plastic collar
back and retract the tubing while holding it in the other hand.
N/A High Frequency (HF) energy can be devastating to surrounding electronic equipment. Although
this unit does not use HF energy to start the arc, normal HF generated by the unit may cause
slight interference with electronic items. This bolt can serve as a direct drain should any EMF
interference is suspected.
N/A The regulator assembly serves as both as an air filter, water trap, and pressure regulator. The
water trap with the fine sediment filter is self draining. It is not designed to dry the air, but ra-
ther serves the purpose of catching any residual slug of water that may be present in the air line
and filtering any trash or sediment that passes into the bowl of the regulator. It is not designed
to serve as an air dryer. A separate air dryer must be placed between the regulator and the air
compressor. During the assembly of the regulator, be sure to screw the 1/4" automotive quick
connect into the side that is stamped on top with "IN" or that has been stamped with an arrow
pointing to the center of the regulator. The small brass plug should screw into the center of the
regulator and the remaining push-to-connect fitting should be screwed into the remaining hole.
Then, connect the clear tubing to the push-to- connect. Make sure the shoulder of the tubing has
been cut squarely or the connection may leak as a result. Screw the regulator bracket to the back
of the plasma cutter first before attaching the regulator to the bracket. Make sure the screws
located in the accessory bag are the proper length and are inserted with the accompanying lock
and flat washers. To adjust the regulator, simply pull the knob up slightly until it clicks, and ro-
tate the knob clockwise to increase the pressure or counter clockwise to decrease the pressure.
To lock in the setting, push the knob down until it clicks. Do not exceed 90 psi supply pressure.
Do not exceed 85 psi on the plasma cutter side of the regulator or internal leakage may result.
Operating air pressure should be set to about 75 psi while in to "Test" mode.
