Controls and Operational Features

A. Output Current Knob: Potentiometer used to set theoutput current used during cutting. Refer to theTechnical Specification section for more informationabout the machine rated current range.

B. Gas Test/Purge Switch: This switch opens the airstream from the torch with no cutting current beingpresent; this feature is very useful to blow the workpiece, to cool the torch or to simply check theavailability of air in the torch circuit.

C. Power ON/OFF LED: This LED lights up when themachine is ON.

D. Output LED: This LED lights up when the outputterminals of the power source are energized.

E. Gas Alarm LED: This indicator lit when the value ofthe cutting torch air pressure falls below theminimum level required.

F. Thermal LED: This LED lights up when themachine is overheated and the output has beendisabled. This usually occurs when the duty cycleof the machine has been exceeded. Leave themachine on to allow the internal components tocool. When the thermal LED light turns off, normaloperation is again possible.

G. Cutting LED (PC 1030 only): This LED lights upduring cutting.

H. Remote ON/OFF Switch (PC 1030 only): Thisswitch enables/disables the Remote ControlConnector.

I. Remote Control Connector (PC 1030 only):Connect here the remote control unit. Refer to thepicture below for the functions related to each pin ofthe connector (front view):

1. INPUT 0-5VDC: Output Current Adjustment.2. OUTPUT 12VDC @ 1A max: Auxiliary Power

supply.3. GROUND.4. INPUT: Start power source active connecting

to GROUND.5. GROUND.6. CLEAN CONTACT POLE (1st pole): Normally

Open contact closes when the arc is transferredto the work. Maximum contact rating: 120Vac@ 1A.

7. CLEAN CONTACT POLE (2nd pole): See point6 above.

J. Torch Connector: Connect here the cutting torch.The torch connection to the power source is veryeasily performed through a quick-connector carryingthe torch trigger circuit, the gas line and the torchpower cable.

(*) WARNINGUse ONLY the torch supplied with this machine.For a replacement refer to the Maintenance sectionof this manual.

WARNINGTORCH PROTECTION: The torch delivered withthe power source is equipped with a safety devicethat prevents the operator from accidental contactwith electrically live parts.

WARNINGAlways turn OFF the machine when working on thetorch.

K. Positive Quick Disconnect: Positive outputconnector for the cutting circuit. As far the groundconnection, this is to be connected to the work piece

A-4

and to a "DINSE" connector on the front of thepower source.

L. Power Switch: It turns ON / OFF the input power tothe machine.

M. Input cable: Connect it to the mains.

N. Gas Inlet and Pressure Regulator: Connect herethe hose carrying the gas to the machine.

The air plasma cutting process uses air as primarycutting gas and as torch cooling gas. The air circuitincludes a pressure regulator set at 5bar.

The pilot arc is struck by energizing a electrovalve(solenoid valve). This valve lets the air flow onlywhen driven by the electronic logic devices duringthe post-flow and cutting stages, or if the Gas Testswitch on the front panel is turned on.

WARNINGA clean, dry air or nitrogen must be supplied to themachine. A pressure setting above 7,5bar coulddamage the torch. Failure to observe theseprecautions could result in excessive operatingtemperatures or damage to the torch.

O. Fan: Provides machine cooling. It is switched ONwith the machine and continues to run till themachine is turned OFF.

The design concept at the basis of these power sourcesis to have available a current which remains constant atthe set value, independently from the length of theplasma arc.• Connect the torch [J] and the work cable [K].• Turn ON the Power Switch [L] placed on the back of

the machine; the LED [C] on the front panel will turnON. One second after the switching ON a "click"from the starter relay will be heard; the unit is nowready to operate.

• Check through the Gas Test [B] switch that theprimary air [N] is available. The working pressureshould be set at 5bar.

• Set the desired current value with the OutputCurrent [A] knob.

To start the cutting process just press the torch button,making sure you are not aiming the torch air blowtowards people or foreign objects. During the cuttingprocess it is possible to hold the torch away from thework piece for an extended period of time.• Avoid to touch the work piece directly with the torch,

when you do not have the torch with the propernozzles.

• The arc length should not be more than 6-7mm.

Once the cutting process is terminated releasing off thetorch button will cause the plasma arc to be turned off;the air flow will continue for approximately 30sec. (post-flow) to allow the cooling down of the torch.

Maintenance

WARNINGFor any maintenance or repair operations it isrecommended to contact the nearest technical servicecenter or Lincoln Electric. Maintenance or repairsperformed by unauthorized service centers or personnelwill null and void the manufacturers warranty.

The frequency of the maintenance operations may varyin accordance with the working environment. Anynoticeable damage should be reported immediately.
