Installation
- Before you begin installation
- Installation checklist
  This checklist summarizes major installation steps. You can use it to record their completion. For full information, refer to auc1699974626495.html.
- Installation steps
  Use this information to install the different system components.
  - Put the system components in position
  - Ground the system components
    System components that are correctly grounded can protect operators and equipment from dangerous voltages. Ground the system components after they are in position, and before you connect the hoses, cables, and leads.
  - Remove external panels from the system components
  - Prepare the hoses, cables, and leads
    Before you install the hoses, cables, and leads, uncoil and examine them.
  - Connect the plasma power supply
    Use this information to connect the hoses, cables, and leads to the plasma power supply.
  - Connect the cooler
    Use this information to connect the hoses, cables, and leads to the cooler.
  - Connect the gas connect console
    Use this information to connect the hoses, cables, and leads to the gas connect console.
  - Connect the gas connect console (Core™, CorePlus™) to the TorchConnect™ console
    Use this information to connect the Core™ or CorePlus™ gas connect console.
  - Connect the gas connect console (VWI™, OptiMix™) to the TorchConnect™ console
    These installation steps are for the VWI™ or OptiMix™ gas connect console.
  - Supply gas installation
    Comply with all safety requirements when you install and connect the supply gases for the plasma cutting system. For example, use flashback arrestors, release gases with an exhaust system, and tighten hoses as specified for different hose dimensions.
  - Install the torch-lead assembly to the torch receptacle
    Use this information to install the torch-lead assembly to the torch receptacle. For easier installation, make sure that the connections are done in the same sequence as these steps.
  - Connect the torch lead to the TorchConnect™ console
    Make sure to use the correct lead lengths for the best cut quality and longest consumable life.
  - Remove the torch and consumable parts
    It can be necessary to remove the torch and consumable parts for replacement, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
  - Install the torch into the torch receptacle
    Make sure that the torch is correctly installed in the torch receptacle.
  - Install the torch in the torch mounting bracket
    Install the torch in the torch mounting bracket. Make sure it is level in all directions, then tighten the screws on the bracket.
  - Install the consumables
    Make sure that the consumables are installed correctly on the torch.
  - Connect electric power to the cutting system
    Connect the main power cord to the plasma power supply. Make sure that the line-disconnect switch is in the OFF position. Use the applicable color codes for the main power cord wires.

Remove external panels from the system components

Notice

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL

The plasma power supply contains dangerous electric voltages that can seriously injure or kill you. Even if the plasma power supply is turned OFF, you can still get a serious electric shock if the plasma power supply remains connected to an electric power source.

Use extreme caution if you do diagnosis or maintenance tasks when the plasma power supply remains connected to an electric power source and the outer cover or panels are removed. All work that requires removal of the plasma power supply outer cover or panels must be done by a qualified technician. Refer to the Safety and Compliance Manual (80669C) for more safety information.

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL

The plasma power supply contains dangerous electric voltages that can seriously injure or kill you. Even if the plasma power supply is turned OFF, you can still get a serious electric shock if the plasma power supply remains connected to an electric power source.

Use extreme caution if you do diagnosis or maintenance tasks when the plasma power supply remains connected to an electric power source and the outer cover or panels are removed.

Before you remove any panels, make sure that all electric power is removed from the cutting system.

Note:

When the remote on-off switch is set to OFF (disabled), electric power stays ON (active) to the following parts:

Power-indicator Light Emitting Diode (LED) on the front of the plasma power supply
Control Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
Control transformer (can be different on input and output)
Input to the relay that controls the 48 V power supply
24 V power supply
120 V to the input side of the contactor or contactors
120 VAC
220 VAC on the power distribution PCB
120 VAC to the input side of the 48 VDC power relay
220 VAC to the input side of the cooler power relay

Remove the rear panel from the plasma power supply.

Note:
For installation usually it is necessary to remove only the rear panel.
Remove the external panels from the gas connect console.

Note:
You must move the panel horizontally to remove it.
