1-10 PAC-500
4 SPECIFY THE PAC-500 TORCH (TORCHES)
There are two PAC-500 torches to choose from:
A torch with a flared retaining cap (recommended for arc currents up to 600 amps);
A torch with a tapered retaining cap (recommended for arc currents in excess of 600
amps).
• Order the appropriate torch and number of torches for your application.
4a SPECIFY THE SPARE PARTS KIT
Order a spare parts kit when ordering the PAC-500 torch. The spare parts kit is intended as a
starter kit and provides additional nozzles, swirl rings, electrodes, an electrode wrench, O ring
kit and O-ring lubricant. Order enough consumables to meet the production requirements
before the system is put into operation. There are four spare parts kits available for PAC-500
torches: a kit containing a flared cap (for cutting under 600 amps); a kit with a tapered cap
(for cutting over 600 amps); a kit with a .120 nozzle (for cutting gauge thickness); and a kit
with only the .220 nozzle size with tapered cap.
• Order the appropriate spare parts kit.
5 SPECIFY THE TORCH MOUNTING BRACKET
• Order a torch mounting bracket to attach the torch to the torch lifter on the cutting machine.
Note:
Do not order a torch mounting bracket when choosing the inductive (underwa-
ter) IHS option. A torch mounting bracket is included in the inductive IHS
system.
6 SPECIFY THE TORCH LEADS
The torch leads consist of two water-cooled cables and a high-frequency lead encased in a
protective metal sheathing, and a gas and water hose bound to the sheathed section. All
leads interface the torch to the control console. Before ordering, check if the leads are being
placed in a power track. If they are, then measure the length from the torch through the
power track to the console and allow an extra 3 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 m) of length. If a festoon
system is used, measure the width of the bridge and double it for lead length.
• Based on the distance between the torch and the control console and the above
considerations, specify the appropriate torch leads. (Order one torch lead set per torch)
