How to set the regulators
This procedure is for when the regulators need to be adjusted in the field.
The N

and Ar OptiMix gas connect console (078633) regulators are set at Hypertherm before the
regulators are installed into the gas connect console. The regulators are set in a dynamic condition,
when gas is flowing, with 7.9 bar – 8.6 bar (115 psi – 125 psi) on the inlet and 6.9 bar (100 psi) on
the outlet.
There is a 1.6 mm (0.063 inch) orifice downstream.
When to adjust regulators:
 If your N

Shield inlet (P4) pressure is above 7.5 bar (110 psi) or below 6.2 bar (90 psi).
 If your Ar Shield Inlet (P4) pressure is above 7.5 bar (110 psi) or below 6.2 bar (90 psi).
