3.2 Operator Console
Operator interface with the SL-IV Waterjet Pump is through the operator’s
panel. The panel consists of the emergency stop (E-Stop) palm button START,
STOP, control power RESET pushbuttons, and indicator lights.
All electrical power to the SL-IV pump passes through the main disconnect,
controlled by the panel disconnect handle on the enclosure.
The following shows the layout of buttons and lights of the operator’s console
for the waterjet pump.
3.2.1 Component Description
• CONTROL POWER ON (Item 3): White Lighted Pushbutton. After pulling
out the E-STOP, press the CONTROL POWER ON button to power up the
operator’s console. When the white CONTROL POWER ON light is lit the
24vdc control power is ON, and the pump can be started.
• Emergency Stop (E-STOP) (Item 1): Push in to stop pump. The E-STOP
button causes the following actions:
Electrical control power is shut off and the electric motor, hydraulic
pumps and intensifier assembly stop.
The high pressure (HP) dump valve is opened. HP water is bled from the
pump piping circuit.
To reset the E-STOP button, pull out.
For normal shutoff use the STOP button on keypad.
• STOP (Item 7): Stops the pump in all but emergency stop situations.
Pressing the STOP button shuts off electric motor and hydraulic pump.
Electric control power (24vdc) stays on.
• START (Item 8): Starts the pump, and generates high pressure.
• RUN (Item 6): Green light is ON when the pump is working normally.
• PUMP PROBLEM (Item 5): Red light is ON when the pump has stopped due
to an abnormal condition. Blinking occurs during abnormal operation.
• PANEL ELECTRICAL DISCONNECT HANDLE (Item 2): Latches/ opens
electrical enclosure. Rotating this latch to the OPEN position causes power
to be disconnected from the motor circuit and from the control circuit. This
handle arrangement is intended to remove power from the electrical circuits
whenever the electrical enclosure door is opened.
• LOCAL OR REMOTE SELECTOR SWITCH (KEYED) (Item 4): Two position
switch used to transfer control of SL-IV pump to either cutting station
(remote) or SL-IV pump (local).
