Safety Precautions Read entire section before starting installation WARNING! Electric Shock can kill Only qualified personnel should perform this installation. Turn off input power at the fuse box before working on this equipment. Do not touch electrically live parts. Always connect the machine to an earthed mains supply as per national recommended standards. Select suitable location Place the plasma cutter where clean cooling air can freely circulate in and out of the front & rear louver vents.
Electrical Installation WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL Machine grounding and High Frequency Interference Protection This plasma cutter must be grounded to earth. See national electrical codes fro proper grounding methods. The high frequency generator being similar to a radio transmitter may cause interference to radio, TV and other electronic equipment. These problems may be the result of radiated interference. Proper grounding methods can reduce or eliminate this.
Turn the input power OFF at the mains switch & fuse box before working on this equipment. Have a qualified electrician install & service this equipment. Allow machine to sit for 5 minutes minimum to allow the power capacitors to discharge before working inside this equipment. Do not touch electrically live parts The PLASMA I-CUT 100P Plasma Cutters require a 415V 50/60Hz 3-Phase supply. It requires a 32A fuse. It comes with a 3 metre mains cable attached. Connect wires according to national coding.
Connections for PLASMA I-CUT 100P Front machine connections Fig 2 1. Earth / Work piece connector Connect the earth lead to this connector. Insert male connector into socket and twist clockwise until tight. Secure other end of earth lead to work piece via the earth clamp. 2. FUSE Pilot arc fuse 3. Torch power connector Connect the main torch euro socket by locating and pushing in and the screw retainer clockwise until tight.
Controls and Settings Fig 1 1. Air pressure gauge This shows the air pressure as set by regulator at rear of machine. This should be set to 70PSI when the test gas button is activated. 2. Amperage control knob This adjusts the amperage (cutting power) from 20 to 100 amps 3. L.E.D amperage display When cutting this shows the actual cutting amperage 4.
This regulates the air pressure as displayed in gauge on front of machine. To adjust pressure pull knob outwards and turn to adjust pressure, once correct pressure is obtained press knob inwards to secure. Operating machine SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing.
Operating Machine Please ensure all torch consumables are tight before use 1. Ensure machine has been setup as previously stated 2. Turn on the machine and the power light indicates and cooling fan is running 3.
Replacing torch consumables WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL Please ensure machine is turned off before changing consumables If cutting performance is poor you probably need to check / change the torch consumables. To change the plasma cutting consumables carry out the following procedure 1. Switch off machine 2. Ensure torch has cooled down to avoid burns 3. Unscrew the white ceramic shield cup 4. Remove the cutting tip 5.
Maintenance Routine and periodic maintenance WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL Turn the input power OFF at the mains switch & fuse box and remove mains plug from socket before working on this equipment. Have a qualified electrician install & service this Plasma cutting equipment. Allow machine to sit for 5 minutes minimum after disconnection from mains power to allow the power capacitors to discharge before working inside this equipment. Do not touch electrically live parts 1.
3. No output - Power light is lit - Warning light is lit Welding application may have exceeded recommended duty cycle, allow machine to cool down until the warning light goes out. 4.
