Thermal Dynamics 1Torch SL60 Installation And Operation Instructions Manual page 3

1here are two types of connection for the Torch Leads.
One type uses the Thermal Dynamics ATC connector. The
other uses 02B connections for gas and circuitry. Both
types require an adapter kit sold separately.
ATC Connectors
Follow the instructions provided with the adapter kit to
connect the adapter to the power supply.
Inspect the halves of the ATC Connector. Align the male
connecto.r wi.th the female receptacle and push them
tagether by hand until they seat fully. Turn the Locking
Ring until it pulls the halves of the connecto.r tagether
fully. Do not use tools to tighten the connector. If there
is any resistance to the ring tuming, pull the halves of the
connector apart, realign the inner components, ensure
that the threaded components are aligned, and push the
halves of the connector together again.
028 Connectors
Leads with 02B connectors are connected to the power
supply using adapter kits sold separately. Follow the
instructions provided with the adapter kit to connect the
gas and electricallines to the power supply.
The new SL60QDTM (Quick Disconnect) torch allows
for a quick change of the torch handle assembly from
the leads. To change the torch handle assembly do
the following.
1. Remove the torch handle assembly by grasping
the torch handle in one hand and the coupler nut
and leads in the other.
2. Rotate the nut a minimum of one full turn to the
left (counter clockwise) and pull the torch handle
assembly out from the leads in a straight line.
3. To reattach, grasp both as before and carefully
align the intemal connecting parts.
4. Carefully press the two tagether in a straight line.
5. Align the mark on the coupler nut with that on
the top of the torch handle and rotate to the right
( clockwise) drawing the two tagether and seating
the connections inside. Do not use tools to tighten.
The parts kit provided with the torch indudes an adhe-
sive label. Select the small perforated section showing
the appropriate pressure setting for the amperage output
and Ieads length tobe used with this torch. Refer to the
charts. Apply this section in the 'Gas Supply' area of the
labelund er the 'Recommended Operating Pressure' text.
Discard any pressure setting sections of the label that will
not be used. Apply the large label to the power supply,
where the operator can see it for easy reference.
Refcr to the Consumablcs Selection Chart for the various
torch parts for the application and operation.
WARNING

the system before disassem-
bling the torch or torch Ieads.
