before assembling or disassembling power
supply, torch parts, or torch and leads as-
semblies.
Torch Parts Selection
Check the torch for proper assembly and appropriate
torch parts. The torch parts must correspond with the
type of operation, and with the amperage output of this
Power Supply (120 amps maximum). Refer to Section
4T.07 and following for torch parts selection.
Torch Connection
Check that the torch is properly connected. Only
Thermal Dynamics model SL100 / Manual or SL100 /
Mechanical Torches may be connected to this Power
Supply. See Section 3T of this manual.
Check Primary Input Power Source
1. Check the power source for proper input voltage.
Make sure the input power source meets the power
requirements for the unit per Section 2, Specica-
tions.
2. Connect the input power cable (or close the main
disconnect switch) to supply power to the system.
Air Source
Ensure source meets requirements (refer to Section 2).
Check connections and turn air supply ON.
