FineLine 300HD Plasma System
3.1.2 Automatic Gas Console (AGC)
The AGC must be mounted within 8 ft. (2.44m) of the torch. Secure the AGC to the
mounting surface using three ¼" or M6 bolts. Refer to the mounting pattern shown in
Section 2.7. Ensure the port on the side of the AGC marked "VENT" is not blocked.
The AGC is IP23 rated.
The plasma and shield hoses connecting the torch to the AGC run inside the torch
leads for 6 ft. (1.83m) before breaking out to connect to the AGC. As such, the AGC
has to be mounted within 2 ft. (0.61m) of the torch lead routing. To minimize high
frequency interference from the arc starting circuit, it is recommended that the AGC
be mounted as far as possible - 2 ft. (0.61m) - from the torch leads with the control
cables routed away from the torch leads. All control/communication cables must be
routed with a minimum separation of 2 ft. (0.61m) from the torch leads and a
minimum separation of 6 in. (152mm) from the power leads.
