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.

Torch Parts Selection

Check the torch for proper assembly and appropri-

ate torch parts. The torch parts must correspond

with the type of operation, and with the amperage

output of this Power Supply (60 amps maximum).

Refer to Section 4T.07 and following for torch parts

selection.

Torch Connection

Check that the torch is properly connected. Only

Thermal Dynamics model SL60 / Manual or SL100 /

Mechanical Torches may be connected to this Power

Supply. See Section 3T of this manual.

Check Primary Input Power Source

1. Check the power source for proper input

voltage. Make sure the input power source

meets the power requirements 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.

Air Source

Ensure source meets requirements (refer to

Section

Connect Work Cable

Clamp the work cable to the workpiece or cutting

table. The area must be free from oil, paint and rust.

Power ON

Place the Power Supply ON / OFF switch to the

ON (up) position. AC indicator

turns ON.

Gas indicator turns ON if there is sufficient gas

pressure for power supply operation and the cool-

ing fans turn ON.

NOTE

Minimum pressure for power supply operation is

lower than minimum for torch operation.
The cooling fans will turn ON as soon as the

unit is turned ON. After the unit is idle for ten

(10) minutes the fans will turn OFF. The fans

will come back ON as soon as the torch switch

(Start Signal) is activated or if the unit is turned

OFF, then turned ON again. If an over tempera-

ture condition occurs, the fans will continue to

run while the condition exists and for a ten (10)

minute period once the condition is cleared.

Set Operating Pressure

1. Place the Power Supply Function Control

knob to the SET

position. Gas will

flow.

2. For Standoff cutting, adjust gas pressure

from 70 - 85 psi / 4.8 - 5.9 bar (LED's

in center of control panel). Refer to the

Standoff chart for pressure setting details.
