Gas connect consoles description

There are four types of gas connect consoles: Core™, CorePlus™, VWI™ (vented water injection), and OptiMix™.

Each type of gas connect console provides a different set of gas-control capabilities. This can include gas-metering functions, based on the type of gas connect console and gases. The gas connect console has a control Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and an ignition PCB. If your XPR® cutting system is equipped with an OptiMix gas connect console, there is also a gas mixer that has its own control PCB. A green power Light Emitting Diode (LED) illuminates when power is supplied to the console.

Note:

For some cutting systems, a remote on-off switch and redundant remote on-switch (if enabled) control the power that goes to the console.

The CorePlus gas connect console has many of the same features as the Core console. The primary difference is that CorePlus adds a gas line for Argon. To use a CorePlus console, you must install revision U (or later) of the XPR firmware. Refer to the XPR Firmware Updates Field Service Bulletin (10084813).
