note !!!
380/415V Ce Mains supply requirements:
High power equipment may, due to the primary current drawn from the mains supply, influence the pow-
er quality of the grid. Therefore connection restrictions or requirements regarding the maximum permis-
sible mains impedance or the required minimum supply capacity at the interface point to the public grid
may apply for some types of equipment (see technical data). In this case it is the responsibility of the
installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the distribution network operator if
necessary, that the equipment may be connected.
3.4.2 primary power hookup procedure
The following procedure explains the proper in-
stallation steps for connecting primary electrical
power to the plasma console.
NOTE: Safety codes specify the power ground
wire be the last connection to break
should the cable be pulled out of the unit.
When preparing the cable for connection,
make the ground wire 6 inches (152mm)
longer than the three primary wires.
1. Ensure input power cable is disconnected
from all electrical sources.
2. Remove right side panel (as viewed from front
of console).
3. Route input power cable through the strain
relief located at the rear panel.
4. Pull input power cable through the strain relief
to allow cable wires sufficient length to con-
nect to main contactor. Tighten strain relief to
ensure input power cable is secured.
5. Connect input power cable ground wire to the
ground lug provided above TB2 (7 position
terminal block).
6. Connect three power leads of input power
cable to terminals located atop the main
contactor. Secure the leads by tightening each
screw.
7. Connect jumper power cables from bottom
of the main contactor to proper input voltage
marked on auto transformer. Unit is factory
set for 575V as shown at the left.
8. Connect jumper on TB2 to proper input volt-
age. This 7 position terminal block jumper is
factory set to 575V.
9. Connect input conductors to line (wall) dis-
connect.
10. Replace side panel (Replace only if all connec-
tions have made --output connections require
this panel to be removed).

4.2.2 remote setup pendant
4.2.3 remote setup panel
Remote setup pendant switch is identical in function to the Gas Test Switch on the
console.
Pendant has a three position switch:
Position CUT – Temporarily allows cut gas to flow to preset pressure before operation.
Cut gas pressure is displayed on the top digital meter.
Position START/SHIELD – Temporarily allows start and shield gases to flow before op-
eration. Start gas pressure is displayed on the top digital meter. Shield gas is displayed
on the bottom digital meter.
Position OPERATE – This is default position (Spring tension returns toggle to this posi-
tion). Switch will return to this position without assistance when released. This middle
switch position allows console to be in cutting mode (not setup).
The Remote Setup Panel is an option for Avenger 1 CNC cutting
machines and larger. It is substituted for the pendant and oper-
ates the same with addition of a regulator for cut oxygen and
nitrogen.
Refer to your cutting machine manual for details.
1. Apply power by closing the line (wall) switch. Main power light
will not illuminate until console power switch is turned ON. Fault
light should flash and go out.
2. Select the Panel/Remote setting. If current is controlled from
cutting machine CNC, place switch to Remote position. Consult
cutting machine instructions for current setting. If current is not
controlled by the CNC, select Panel and set current on output
current dial.
3. Check coolant level. Level must be checked with console main
power in OFF position. Coolant level must fall in the safe operat-
ing level.
4. Set pilot arc High/Low switch. (Refer to cutting process data of
the torch manual.)
5. Turn on console power by placing power switch in ON position.
White light to left of the switch will illuminate.
6. Check coolant pressure. The pressure is factory set between 80
to 90 PSI (5.5 –6.2 bars).
7. Begin plasma cutting operation. This may include manually set-
ting other options, depending on total plasma package.
If using panel mode, after cutting has begun, adjust current to de-
sired amount.
Check for a fault light. If a fault light illuminates, SHUT OFF POWER
IMMEDIATELY and refer to troubleshooting section.

For the purposes of process data, the pt-19xls and the pt-600 are
the same torch. the pt-600 is an improved version of the pt-19xls
plasma torch. higher manufacturing tolerances in the pt-600 result
in improved torch concentricity resulting in greater part accuracy po-
tential.
4.4 process Data for pt19xls/pt-26 and the esp-200
4.4.1 Introduction to Cut Characteristics
4.4.1.1 Dross:
The quality of a cut is judged by three primary characteristics;
1. Bottom Dross and Top Spatter
2. Bevel Angle
3. Surface Roughness
These characteristics vary by many factors including the type and condition of plate material of which there is little control
such as;
plate chemistry
•�
coatings
•�
scale
•�
The Condition Selection Charts express the cut quality obtained in laboratory tests with a variety of materials. The informa-
tion in the charts is based on the following terminology.
Excellent - Essentially dross free with no top spatter.
•�
Good - Very light removable dross, or dross free with top spatter.
•�
Fair - Medium to heavy removable dross.
•�
Poor - Tenacious dross
•�
4.4.1.2 Bevel angle:
A slight bevel is characteristic of plasma cutting. The objective in the selection chart is to establish conditions that cause
the least angle. Bevel angle ratings in the chart are identified as; 1 for the least angle, 2 for second best and 3 for third rate,
etc. When more than one set conditions produce the same bevel angle they are given the same rating. It is possible to have
four conditions with a “1” rating, one with a “2”, and two with a “3”.
Bevel angle ratings are relative for particular material and thickness, they are not absolute; a “3” on 1 inch (25.4mm) material
may have less bevel than a “1” on 1/4 inch (6.4mm) material.
4.4.1.3 surface roughness:
Excellent - Bright and smooth
•�
Good - Discolored, fairly smooth
•�
Fair - Moderate roughness
•�
Poor - Very rough

5.5 spark gap
high Frequency Interference Can Damage Machine electronic Com-
ponents
potentially damaging high frequency interference may result from
increasing the spark gap beyond recommendation. this electrical in-
terference may find its way to pc boards in the electronics cabinet or
Vision control. the result can be failure of some portion of machine
function.
It is not recommended setting the spark gap beyond a distance of
0.040” (1,0 mm)
CautIon
Spark gap controls the amount of starting current (high frequency) sent to the torch. There is a direct relationship between
spark gap and starting reliability/electrode life.
Spark gap should be set at 0.040 inches (1 mm).
Characteristics of spark gap below 0.040 inches (1 mm);
Negative Effect - Starting reliability is decrease.
•�
Positive Effect – Reduced risk of high frequency interference and improved electrode life.
•�
Characteristics of spark gap above 0.040 inches (1 mm);
Negative Effect – increased risk of high frequency damage and reduced electrode life.
•�
Positive Effect – Starting reliability is increased (until approximately 0.056 inch (1,4 mm) when the gap
•�
becomes too wide, resulting in no spark).

torch and Cut quality
note:
This is offered as a general guide. Refer to your torch manual for specifics on your equipment
Problem
Possible Cause
Corrective Action
Reduced Electrode Life
1) Skeleton cutting
2) Height control problems.
3) Piercing standoff too low.
4) Starting on edges with continuous pilot
arc.
5) Gas pressures too high or low.
6) Coolant flow below 3/4 GPM (0.5 l/
sec).
7) Gas or water leaks in torch
1) Cutting skeletons to facilitate their
Removal from the table can ad-
versely affect electrode life by:
a)
Causing the torch to run off the
work.
b) Continuous pilot arc edge starts.
c)
Greatly increasing the frequency of
starts. This is mainly a problem for
O2 cutting and can be alleviated by
choosing a path with a minimum
number of starts.
d) Increased likelihood that the plate
will spring up against the nozzle
causing double arc. Careful atten-
tion by the operator, increasing
standoff and reducing cutting
speeds will help mitigate these
conditions.
If the machine is equipped with a gas
torch, it may be more practical to use it
for skeleton cutting.
2) See crashing/diving in item 6.
3) Increase piercing standoff
4) Position torch more carefully or use
waste plate to start on.
5) Make appropriate adjustment
6) Check coolant level and flow
7) See torch manual
Reduced Electrode Life
1) Diving
2) Work flipping
3) Catching on piece
4) Excessive speed
5) Excessive pilot arc on time
6) Process factors
7) Inadequate initial delay. Pierce not com-
plete before starting
1). Diving is usually caused by a change
in arc voltage when an automatic
height control is in use. Diving can
result in damage to the nozzle. Usu-
ally, the voltage change is the result
of a change of direction or speed to
negotiate a corner, failure to disable
the height control during piercing,
or of plate falling away from the arc.
These problems can be dealt with by
disabling the height control in such
situations and by extinguishing the
arc earlier when finishing the cut on
falling plate.
Diving may also be caused by a
problem with the height control or
signals fed to it.
2). The nozzle may sometimes be dam-
aged if the torch hits a flipped up
part. This is difficult to avoid entirely
but careful part programming can
minimize the problem.
3). This refers to crashes or nozzle dam-
age caused by the front end of the
torch catching on top spatter after
a pierce. Hold the torch at a higher
standoff for a longer lead-in to avoid
this problem.
4). Reduce speed to prevent rooster
tailing during cut. Reduce speed on
corners if rooster tailing occurs only
when coming out of corners.
5). Check the following:
a). When the torch is properly posi-
tioned, it should start on the first
pop.
b). The pilot arc contactor should
open as soon as the arc trans-
fers.
c). Pilot Arc switch in wrong posi-
tion.
d). Gas or water leak in torch.
6). Same as for electrode.
7). Increase delay time.
Poor Cut Quality
Refer to your torch manual
for more details.
1. Gas selection
2. Torch alignment to work
3. Incorrect current
4. Cutting over slats
5. Cutting machine or torch vibrates
6. Bevel angle
7. Wrong travel direction (good angle on
scrap side).
8. Plate shifting while being cut.
9. Slag buildup on cutting table.
10. Wrong gas settings.
11. Gas or water leak in torch.
1. Refer to gas selection section.
2. Verify and correct torch alignment (verti-
cally).
3. Verify current value. Refer to parameter
tables.
4. Cutting over slats will cause some bot-
tom dross. If the cut runs along the slat, it
can produce other cut quality problems.
The only solution is to try to avoid run-
ning along the slats.
5. Make sure bracket and height control is
rigid and properly adjusted.
6. Standoff and speed have considerable
effect on bevel angle.
7. With standard swirl the squarest side
is on the right side of the direction of
travel.
8. Small, thin, or lightweight plates can
shift while cutting. Clamp them down.
9. Clean slag from cutting table.
10. Check gas chart and adjust for proper
settings.
11. Check torch manual.
No PreFlow
1. No start signal.
2. Emergency stop signal open
3. Shorted, closed, or jumpered out CWFS.
4. No Coolant flow.
5. N2 pressure switch not activated.
1. Check input. Verify a start command
has been given.
2. Check for continuity between TB3-18
and TB3-19.
3. Check coolant LED on front panel.
Should be lit.
4 Check reservoir. Add coolant until
full.
5. Check switch for flow. Pressure too
low.
Torch Fails to Fire
Positive Cut Angle
Negative Cut Angle
1. Start gas too high.
2. Coolant flow switch not satisfied.
3. Torch parts worn out.
4. Start signal not present
5. Pressure switches for gas not satisfied.
6. Power supply problem.
1. Arc voltage too high.
2. Cutting speed too fast.
3. Cutting current too high.
1. Arc voltage too low.
2. Cutting speed too slow.
3. Cutting current too low
1. Lower start gas flow.
2. a).
Pump pressure too low,
should be 90 - 100 psig.
b). Faulty coolant flow switch.
c).
Obstruction in torch limiting
coolant flow.
3. Service torch as outlined in the torch
manual.
4. Trouble shoot signal path.
5. Check for proper pressure and flow.
6. Run through all setup procedures.
1. Lower arc voltage in small (5 Volt)
increments.
2. If cutting speed is too fast,
decrease speed.
3. a). Wrong nozzle being used.
b). Lower current into correct
operating range.
1. Raise the arc voltage in small incre-
ments (5 Volts).
2. Simply increase speed.
3. Change to a higher current nozzle.
