MACHINE CONTROLS
START / RESUME: Push to start cutting or resume cutting after a pause. If the torch has been manually
positioned off the cut path, the machine will move the torch towards the cut and swing it into the cut line
when reached.
STOP / PAUSE: Computer control is interrupted until the START / RESUME button is activated. If
pressed while running, the torch is shut off and the machine stops. Pressing the START / RESUME
button again will resume the cut. When the STOP / PAUSE button is activated, the machine can be
manually positioned by the MANUAL JOG switch; this does not change the home reference position
unless the RESET button is pressed.
RESET: Resets the computer when pressed and makes whatever position the machine is in the home
position. If the torch or pipe is moved by the MANUAL JOG switch, upon releasing it, the machine will
return to the home position.
SPEED KNOB: Controls the tangential speed of the torch along the cut, from zero to maximum. The
speed will depend on the diameter of the pipe. When the torch arm is moving in or out, the rotational
speed will slow down to keep the resultant speed constant.
MANUAL JOG: When toggled up or down the pipe will jog in the corresponding direction. When toggled
left or right the torch arm will move in the corresponding direction.
CONTACT OUTPUT: When the machine is set-up for plasma cutting the contact relay box connection
is made here. When the machine is set up for oxy-fuel cutting, the manifold solenoid connection is made
here.
PENDANT CONTROL CONNECTION: The programming pendant connection is made here.
POWER CORD: Connect the appropriate voltage 120, 240, or 42 VAC to the machine. Verify which
model you have before applying power.
POWER INDICATOR LIGHT: Indicates that power is being supplied to the machine.
POWER ON / OFF: Switches power “ON” or “OFF”.
CIRCUIT BREAKER: Protects the machine against overload or electrical faults.
MIRROR IMAGE SWITCH: Enables the user to cut mirror image cuts of various cut types. Simply
program the cut with the switch on the standard cut position “S”, then toggle the switch to the mirror
image position “M” to cut a mirror image of the programmed cut.
