Plasma Source, Cutting Torch, and PHC Setup

If using the -RV type sensor, make sure your power source uses a starting method that does not use
high frequency such as blowback start or touch start rather than HF start or capacitive discharge, as
that may cause premature failure, electromagnetic interference, or an unsafe condition. If HF start or
capacitive discharged is used, use the -ID type sensor if your power source has an internal divider, or
the -PS type sensor if it does not.
T
o set your PLASMA HEIGHT CONTROL:
(Reference AVC-2051 Control Box)
Connect voltage sensor to power source according to sensor wiring instructions.
y
Set the height control (Manual - Automatic Toggle Switch) to manual mode.
y
Confirm the switch on the height slide faces away from the work piece.
y
Set the torch height manually (Up - Down JOG Toggle Switch) to where you want it.
y
Make a small cut and record the volt reading from the power source.
y
Now, dial this number, volt reading, into the Height Control (Volt Dial).
y
Turn the height control (On - Off Toggle Switch) back on.
y
Run the system and it should run at the same height and thus voltage.

Alternate Setup:
If you already know what voltage you normally use or have charts specifying a voltage that has worked
well for you in the past that gives you at least 1/8" (3.2 mm) of standoff, you can begin by entering that
voltage on the dial then testing. Adjust the voltage if necessary to account for tolerances in the height
control system.
If this does not work please consult "Trouble Shooting Page" in the back of this manual.
The operator can temporarily override Plasma Height Control using the manual jog switch on AVC-2051
Control Box. PHC resumes as soon as the jog switch is released. To disable the PHC, move the
Manual -- Automatic Toggle Switch on the AVC-2051 Control Box to manual.
