Controls and indicators on the hand torch
Adjust the operating settings manually
Changing the operating settings from their defaults is recommended only for experienced
operators.
The plasma power supply automatically sets the gas pressure and current based on the Hypertherm
cartridge type, operating mode, the torch type, and the length of the torch lead.
You can adjust the output current, the gas pressure, or both manually if necessary.
 The plasma power supply keeps the manual settings until you install a different type of
Hypertherm cartridge or you install a different torch.
 If you manually set the operating settings and then replace the Hypertherm cartridge
with a new cartridge of the same type, the plasma power supply keeps your settings.

A type of Hypertherm cartridge refers to the cartridge application, such as

restart.
