9. Carefully slide swing-arm onto post with the letters
(on the collar) "ABC" up and the grey cable located
on the bottom of the swing arm assembly.
10. Insert a third T pin at a convenient height for hold-
ing the helmet.
MONITOR:
Note: always use the factory supplied
monitor with the VRTEX
1. Remove monitor from cardboard box.

2. Remove the cable ties from monitor cables
secured to the monitor mounting post.
3. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to carefully mount
the monitor onto the mounting post bracket.
Tighten the four Phillips-head screws securely.
4. Connect input power cable and VGA cable into the
monitor.
APPLY SYSTEM POWER:
1. Insert the input supply power cord into the back
of the VRTEX
360 and into a standard electrical
®
outlet capable of 115 to 230 VAC at 4 to 2 Amps.
NOTE: Surge protector (or Surge Suppessor) may be
required to protect the electronic components
of the machine from input power surges.
2. Verify Circuit Breaker/Rocker Switch is in the On
position. (See Figure "Back of Machine")
ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
1. The welding coupons are stored in the coupon
drawer in the rear of the machine.

2. The weld simulation can be displayed on an exter-
nal monitor or projector by using the VGA output
on the back of the machine. The external display
must support 1024x780 resolution.
3. External speakers may be connected using the
audio jack located on the back of the machine.
TRACKING SYSTEM FUNDAMENTALS:
The magnetic tracking system is composed of the
following:
• Control Unit (Inside VR Machine)
- Contains the hardware and software necessary
to compute position and orientation.
• Source (part of the Swing Arm)
- The source contains electromagnetic coils
enclosed in a plastic shell that emit a magnetic
field. The source is the systemʼs reference
frame for sensor measurements.
• Sensor (in the VR GMAW/FCAW gun, VR SMAW
device, and helmet)
- The sensor contains electromagnetic coils
enclosed in a plastic shell that detect the mag-
netic fields emitted by the source. The sensorʼs
position and orientation are precisely measured
as it moves in reference to the source. The
sensor is completely passive, having no active
voltage applied to it.
