4.05 GCM 2010 First Time Operation Matching Gas Control to Lead Length
ForinitialoperationofGCM2010withsoftwareversion2.1orlater.
1. Before applying AC power set the Power Supply ENABLE/DISABLE switch on the gas control module to DIS-
ABLE.
2. Set Gas Selection switch to the correct position for cutting process being used.
3. Turn on AC power and set Power Supply ENABLE/DISABLE switch to ENABLE. After a short delay to establish
communications, the gas control will start the Purge and priming sequence. (If torch and coolant leads were
not already full of coolant you may be required to repeat this power on cycle and add coolant until the prim-
ing is complete).

1. Set the Plasma Power Supply Enable / Disable switch to Disable.
DANGER
Always shut o� input power to the system before changing or inspecting torch parts.
a. Change the torch parts if necessary.
b. Set the Plasma Power Supply Enable / Disable switch (on the Gas Control Module) to Enable. The Module
performspurgesof15seconds,11seconds,andanother11seconds.Thisremoveswaterfromthetorch
parts.
2. Select the desired plasma and shield gas by setting the Gas Selection switch to the desired position. 2 sec-
onds after gas selection, the module purges the new gas(es) through the leads.
3. Setthepreowgaspressure.
a. SettheMODEswitchtoSETPREFLOW.
b. UsethePREFLOWcontrolknobtosetpreowgaspressure.Refertothetorchmanualforpressureset-
tings.
4. Settheplasmaandshieldgaspressuresandows.
a. Set the MODE switch to SET PLASMA & SHIELD.
