WARNING
This torch is not to be used with oxygen (O
2
).
NOTE
Operating pressure varies with torch model, oper-
ating amperage, and torch leads length. Refer to
gas pressure settings chart for each model.
G. Direct Contact Hazard
For exposed tip the recommended standoff is 1/8" - 1/4"
(3 - 6.4 mm).
H. Parts-In-Place (PIP) Circuit - 12 vdc
The torch and leads include circuitry called Parts-In-
Place (PIP). This circuit includes a switch located at
the torch head. The shield cup closes this switch when
properly installed. The torch will not operate if this
switch is open.
Connecting Torch
There are two types of connection for the Torch Leads. One
type uses the Thermal Dynamics ATC connector. The other
uses O2B connections for gas and circuitry. Both types require
an adapter kit sold separately.
ATC Connectors
Follow the instructions provided with the adapter kit to con-
nect the adapter to the power supply.
Inspect the halves of the ATC Connector. Align the male con-
nector with the female receptacle and push them together by
hand until they seat fully. Turn the Locking Ring until it pulls
the halves of the connector together fully. Do not use tools to
tighten the connector. If there is any resistance to the ring
turning, pull the halves of the connector apart, realign the inner
components, ensure that the threaded components are aligned,
and push the halves of the connector together again.
O2B Connectors
Leads with O2B connectors are connected to the power supply
using adapter kits sold separately. Follow the instructions
provided with the adapter kit to connect the gas and electrical
lines to the power supply.
