Pin and board numbers correspond to each other. 8 is not used
• Pinsl and 2 activate (turn on) the plasma cutter.
• Pin 9 and 10 gives the "0K to Move" signal. These are Dry "N.O." style contacts.
It is nonelectronic switch that closes when the pilot arc transfers to cutting arc.
Sometimes referred to as "Arc 0K".
• Pins 5 and 7 provide the raw, undivided arc voltage, which is used by some
controllers to adjust the height of the torch(THC). This is the actual cutting voltage.
It runs through 2-100kQ resistors to prevent arcing at the connector plug. Some
controllers may use the raw voltage, and is dependent upon the impedance of the
input. CandCNC*controller and Torchmate*do not use this voltage.
• Pins 4 and 6 provide the divided arc voltage. The CNC circuit board to create
1/50th of the raw arc voltage. It may be used by some controllers for torch
height control(HTC).
• Pins 11 and 12 provide the divided arc voltage. The CNC circuit board to create
1/1 6th of the raw arc voltage. It may be used by some controllers for torch
height control(HTC).
• Pin 3 is what some controller manufactures refer to as "Ground" this is
connecter directly to the work piece lead, which is actually a positive polarity. If
the controller has a pin for ground this is likely the pin to use.
NOTE: Do not connect anything directly to the output terminals or leads. Do not
connect anything from the controller to the chassis of the cutter, especially a
ground lead. Do not install any kind of converter or divider inside the machine.
