4.02 Preparations For Operating

Perform the following steps at the start of each operating session:

WARNING

Disconnect primary power at the source before assembling or disassembling power supply, torch parts, or torch and
leads assemblies.

A. Torch Parts Selection

Check the torch for proper assembly and appropriate torch parts. The torch parts must correspond with the type of
operation, and with the amperage output of this Power Supply (80 amps maximum).

B. Torch Connection

Check that the torch is properly connected. Only Thermal Dynamics model SL100 Torches may be connected to
this Power Supply.

C. Check Primary Input Power Source

1.

Check the power source for proper input voltage. Make sure the input power source meets the power re-
quirements for the unit per Section 2, Specifications.

2.

Connect the input power cable (or close the main disconnect switch) to supply power to the system.

D. Gas Selection

Ensure compressed air source meets requirements (refer to

Section 3.4). Check connections and turn gas supply on.

Place the ON - OFF Switch on the Power Supply to the ON position. If the Run - Rapid Auto Restart - Set switch is in SET
position, gas will flow. If the switch is in RUN or Rapid Auto Restart position there will be no gas flow.

E. Connect Work Cable

Clamp the work cable to the workpiece or cutting table. The area must be free from oil, paint and rust. Connect only to the main
part of the workpiece; do not connect to the part to be cut off.
