Specifications
Qualifications and Requirements
- Document requirements
- Operator qualifications
  A person is considered qualified to operate the cutting system if he or she is trained and knowledgeable about cutting system equipment construction, operation, and work methods, and about how to recognize and avoid hazards that can be present with certain cutting system equipment or work methods.
- Qualifications of service personnel
  It can be hazardous to do service and maintenance on industrial cutting systems and equipment.
- System electrical requirements
- Process-gas requirements for all gas connect consoles
  You must supply the process gases for your cutting system.
- Shield-water requirements (VWI™ and OptiMix™)
  If you use water as a shield fluid, use the following water pressure requirements, flow requirements, and water-purity guidelines.
- Torque specifications for gas or water plumbing and hose connections
  For the best results, use the recommended torque specifications for plumbing and hose fittings.
- Coolant requirements
  Add the correct type and amount of coolant before you operate the plasma cutting system.
- Requirements to put system components in position
  - Configuration with the Core™ gas connect console
  - Configuration with the CorePlus™ gas connect console
  - Configuration with VWI™ or OptiMix™ gas consoles
  - Worksite requirements for system components
  - Length requirements for hoses, cables, and leads
    Use the correct lengths for all hoses, cables, and leads.
  - Bend-radius requirements for hoses, cables, and leads
    Do not bend hoses, cables, and leads more than the minimum bend radius for each component.
  - Correct sizes for connectors on hoses, cables, and leads
    Make sure to use connectors that are the correct size on hoses, cables, and leads that connect from one console to another.
  - Distance requirements between high-frequency cables and control cables
    To prevent noise issues, do not put high-frequency cables and control cables too near each other.
  - Distance requirements for ventilation and access
    Make sure that all system components have sufficient open space around them for ventilation and service access.
  - Distance requirements for communications
    Make sure that you keep the plasma power supply no more than a specified maximum distance from each controlling communication device.
  - Wireless compliance
    The plasma cutting system has integrated wireless devices that have certification for use in specified countries.
- Torch mounting bracket requirements
  Make sure to use a torch mounting bracket that obeys the requirements for XPR® torches.
- Torch lifter requirements
  Use a torch lifter that has the correct weight capacity for XPR® torches.
- CNC requirements for plasma cutting systems
  There are specific Computer Numerical Control (CNC) features that are necessary for integration with plasma cutting systems.
- Recommended grounding and shielding
  It is important to use grounding and shielding best practices when you set up a plasma cutting system. This can minimize problems related to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), or electrical noise.
