Operation
- CNC controls and display
  A Computer Numerical Control (CNC) controls cutting system operation.
- Wireless device controls
  You can use a wireless device to set up and monitor the plasma cutting system.
- Power-indicator LEDs
  An Light Emitting Diode (LED) illuminates to show the power status on the plasma power supply and on other system components.
- Sequence of operation
  A set of flowchart images shows the sequence of operation for the plasma cutting system.
- Process selection
  All of the cutting processes have a process ID that is a unique identification number. Each process ID aligns with a set of preprogrammed values in the cut chart database in the plasma power supply control Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
- Cut charts
  A cut chart contains parameters that are necessary to get optimal results for your cutting process with special materials and thicknesses.
- Torch consumables
  The plasma cutting system uses the same consumable parts for perpendicular-position processes (90° angle) and bevel-cutting processes.
- Example configurations for consumables
  Consumables that are worn or have damage can have a bad effect on cut quality.
- Recommendations for maximum consumable life
  Consumables are the parts of the torch that wear as they are used. Consumables that are near end-of-life can have a bad effect on cut quality and performance.
- Arc Response Technology
  Arc Response Technology™ lets the plasma cutting system adapt to problems at the torch that can cause decreased consumable life or possible torch damage.

Power-indicator LEDs

An Light Emitting Diode (LED) illuminates to show the power status on the plasma power supply and on other system components.

The power-indicator LED on the plasma power supply uses two colors to indicate power status:

The LED illuminates amber when the plasma power supply is receiving electric power and the remote on-off switch is in the OFF position.
The LED illuminates green when the plasma power supply is receiving electric power and the remote on-off switch is in the ON position.
The plasma power supply that came with early XPR® cutting systems has a green-only power-indicator. A power-indicator LED upgrade kit (428893) is available from Hypertherm® if you want a two-color LED for your plasma power supply.

Note:

If the redundant remote on-off switch is enabled, make sure that it has the same ON or OFF condition as the remote on-off switch. Refer to Install a redundant remote on-off switch.

The image shows the location of the plasma power supply power indicator. — Figure 1. Power-indicator LED on an example plasma power supply

When illuminated, the green power-indicator LED on other components is an indication that:

Power is supplied to the XPR cutting system.
The line-disconnect switch or breaker for the component is set to the ON (I) position.
The component can be used.
