Pilot Arc Switch
Used to select pilot arc current range. HIGH position is used for most cutting
applications. Electrode life is adversely aected when used in high position
when low is suitable. Starting may be dicult if set on low when high is re-
quired. Related to the initial torch stando height.
Cutting Voltage and Current Meters
“A” meter indicates actual cutting current, 0-200 amperes
“V” meter indicates actual output voltage, 0-160 VDC
Output Current Control
Sets the cutting current when current settings are made from the power con-
sole front panel. (The Remote/Panel switch must be in the Panel position.)
Remote/Panel Switch
Panel position – Output current is set by the output current control on the
console front panel as described above.
Remote position – Output current is set by the CNC with an analog dc signal.
