Connections with Adapter Kits
Leads with ATC Connectors
Connect the torch leads to the power supply per the in-
structions provided with the appropriate adapter kit.
WARNING
The shield connectors on the Adapter Leads should
be connected to the power supply in accordance
with instructions provided by the power supply
manufacturer. Use of a shielded torch on power
supplies not specifically designed for shielded leads
may result in damage to the power supply or im-
proper function.
Inspect the halves of the ATC Connector. Align the male
connector with the female receptacle and push them to-
gether by hand until they seat fully. Turn the Locking
Ring until it pulls the halves of the connector together
fully. Do not use tools to tighten the connector. If there
is any resistance to the ring turning, pull the halves of the
connector apart, realign the inner components, ensure that
the threaded components are aligned, and push the halves
of the connector together again.
