Distance requirements for ventilation and access
Make sure that all system components have sufficient open space around them for ventilation and service access.
Requirements for ventilation
- Do not cause blockages near ventilation louvers on the corners or bottom panels of the front and rear of the plasma power supply. A separation distance of least 1 m (3.3 feet) is required for ventilation.
- Do not cause blockages near the fan inlet grates on the front of the cooler or the rear ventilation louvers on the rear of the cooler. A separation distance of least 1 m (3.3 feet) is required for ventilation.
- Do not cause blockages near the ventilation louvers on the gas connect console. A separation distance of least 1.27 cm (0.50 inch) is required for ventilation.
- Do not cause blockages near the ventilation louvers on the TorchConnect™ console. You must use the mounting brackets to allow space between the console and mounting surface.
Requirements for service and maintenance access
Hypertherm® recommends a minimum distance of 1 meter (3.3 feet) between the plasma power supply, the cooler, and other system components, or between the plasma power supply, the cooler, and an obstacle.
