and any cable that must be the space where people walk.
c. Connect the Star Ground to the ground rod with a stranded wire (minimum 2 AWG) This wire
cannot be more than 4' long. Be sure each end of the wire is
tightly secured to Ground and rod,
respectively.
d. Connect the Green Wire; shipped secured to machine gusset, to the Star Ground point.
e. Attach a Ground wire (minimum 8 AWG) to each rail of cutting table, then bring these wires to the
Star Ground point.
f. Clean any surfaces; to which either end of a ground wire will be connected, of any rust or grease,
to ensure that all ground connections make the necessary
intimate contact with the component; then
connect all grounding wires, making sure all connections are tight. Use wire (minimum of 8 AWG)
for grounding straps.
g. When using Plasma Mode, Torch leads should have a braided shield (included with shipment) with
the braid connected to the earth ground at the Plasma Unit.
h. Shield the DNC/REMOTE (Fiber Optics) cables. Connect the shields to the chassis ground of
the control
and to the chassis ground of the reader.
i. For machine setups requiring rail extensions, connect a short ground wire between the 2 rails,
where they butt together. Then move ground wires described in item (e) to the end of each extended
Rail that is closest to Ground Rod.
NOTE: Supply power to machine through a shielded main power line. Do not use any sort of
extension Cord.
The Controller and Drive System must both operate on the same 110 v. current line. The Vulcan
Plasma Unit has been pre-wired for voltage ordered. Connect it to
reliable sources of ordered voltage
power.
7. VENTILATION - (see SAFETY, FIRST Foreword for additional information!) - To remove the
toxic gases that are generated when metal is vaporized, a suction system with minimum. 3000-3500
cfm. exhaust draw must be installed on the cutting table through the 12" opening at the bottom of
table.
On 2 Table systems, install a switchable damper, so exhaust is drawn from the table in use (cutting
will take place on only one table at a time). Limit switches may be used to activate appropriate table
damper when needed.
8. FIBER OPTIC CABLE REFERENCE - For additional information on the setup and use
of the Fiber Optic Cables over which the host Computer and Vulcan Controller communicate, please
refer to Section number 5.
