OPERATION

ful if the system is used to replace other units which
do not have auto-restart, or for use with motion con-
trol devices. In many applications, torch parts life may
be improved by disabling auto-restart to reduce ex-
cessive pilot arc time.

NOTE

Either pole set to 1 (on) disables auto-restart func-
tion.

Figure 4-9 Auto-Restart Mode Switch SW2 Location

Normal mode provides an immediate pilot restart
whenever the main arc is interrupted and the Auto-
Restart switch SW1 is set to ENABLE. Delayed mode
provides a gas pre-flow each time before the pilot arc

restarts. In some shape-cutting applications, it may
not be desirable to immediately restart the main arc
after the torch passes beyond the desired cutting line
(or between cuts).

NOTE

Either pole set to 1 (on) sets delayed auto-restart
function.

Location

The pre-flow delay allows time for gases to flow to
the torch when the torch is activated. Pre-flow is im-
mediately followed by pilot arc initiation Pre-flow
durations are factory set but extended torch leads may
require longer pre-flow durations.
