THERMAL PROTECTION
This system comes equipped with the following safety
devices:
Overload cutout:
To avoid overload while
cutting.
The LED G (see fig 1) lights when
active.
Pneumatic:
➡
Located on the torch inlet to prevent low air
pressure. The LED
L
lights when tripped (see fig.1).
Electrical:
1) In the event of a short-circuit between the nozzle
and
electrode during arc
striking
2) In the event of a short-circuit between the contacts
of
the
reed relay on circuit 36 (see exploded drawing).
3) When the electrode is worn to the point it must
be
r
e
placed.
These conditions block the machine, and are
signaled
by
the lit LED
N
.
4) In addition, this machine is equipped with
automatic
selection of the supply voltage and the following
protections:
A) 208/230V Power supply: during start-up, the machine
remains blocked
(LED
N
lit) if the voltage is below
200V. After start-up, the machine runs at as low
as 180V.
The plasma cutter is able to operate on 208 or 230 volt
service. The advanced inverter design requires much less
amperage input thus saving on electricity costs. This along
with its lightweight design, allows it to be used anywhere
there is electric service and compressed air available.
Adjustable Arc Control
The PLASMA60i adjustable output arc control allows the
user to easily cut thin metal, up to 3/4” and sever up to 1”.
With the adjustable output control, the cutting arc can be
adjusted to cut one layer of material without cutting the
second layer. This can be extremely useful where an outer
panel may be removed without cutting through an inner
panel.
Many industrial segments will benefit using the PLASMA60i
because of its lightweight design and adjustable arc feature.
The plasma cutter eliminates the need of using oxygen
acetylene cutting techniques that not only would be
cumbersome to move, also more costly.
WARNING
• Do not remove or short-circuit the safety
devices.
• Use only original spare parts.
• Always replace any damaged parts of the
machine with original materials.
• Use only torches type CP40.
• Do not run the machine without its housings.
This would be dangerous to the operator and
anyone else in the work area, and would prevent
the machine fr
om
being cooled properly.
