1 Safety
Important Safety Precautions
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PLASMA ARC EQUIPMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS AND HAZ- ARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.

Plasma arc cutting produces intense electric and magnetic emissions that may interfere with the proper function of cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids, or other electronic health equipment. Persons who work near plasma arc cutting applications should consult their medical health professional and the manufacturer of the health equipment to deter- mine whether a hazard exists. To prevent possible injury, read, understand and follow all warnings, safety precautions and instructions before using the equipment.

GASES AND FUMES

Gases and fumes produced during the plasma cutting process can be dangerous and hazardous to your health.

· Keep all fumes and gases from the breathing area. Keep your head out of the cutting fume plume. · Use an air-supplied respirator if ventilation is not adequate to remove all fumes and gases. · The kinds of fumes and gases from the plasma arc depend on the kind of metal being used, coatings
on the metal, and the different processes. You must be very careful when cutting or cutting any metals which may contain one or more of the following:

Antimony
Arsenic Barium Cadmium

Chromium
Cobalt Copper Manganese

Mercury
Nickel Selenium Vanadium

Beryllium
Lead Silver

Always read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) that should be supplied with the material you are using. These MSDSs will give you the information regarding the kind and amount of fumes and gases that may be dangerous to your health.
· Use special equipment, such as water or down draft cutting tables, to capture fumes and gases. · Do not use the plasma torch in an area where combustible or explosive gases or materials are
located. · Phosgene, a toxic gas, is generated from the vapors of chlorinated solvents and cleansers. Remove
all sources of these vapors.

3

ELECTRIC SHOCK
Electric Shock can injure or kill. The plasma arc process uses and produces high voltage electrical energy. This electric energy can cause severe or fatal shock to the operator or others in the workplace.
· Never touch any parts that are electrically "live" or "hot." · Wear dry gloves and clothing. Insulate yourself from the work piece or other parts of the cutting
circuit. · Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts. · Extra care must be taken when the workplace is moist or damp. · Disconnect power source before performing any service or repairs. · Read and follow all the instructions in the Operating Manual.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Fire and explosion can be caused by hot slag, sparks, or the plasma arc.
· Be sure there is no combustible or flammable material in the workplace. Any material that cannot be removed must be protected.
· Ventilate all flammable or explosive vapors from the workplace. · Do not cut or weld on containers that may have held combustibles. · Provide a fire watch when working in an area where fire hazards may exist. · Hydrogen gas may be formed and trapped under aluminum workpieces when they are cut
underwater or while using a water table. DO NOT cut aluminum alloys underwater or on a water table unless the hydrogen gas can be eliminated or dissipated. Trapped hydrogen gas that is ignited will cause an explosion.
NOISE
Noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Plasma arc processes can cause noise levels to exceed safe limits.
· You must protect your ears from loud noise to prevent permanent loss of hearing. · To protect your hearing from loud noise, wear protective ear plugs and/or ear muffs. Protect
others in the workplace. · Noise levels should be measured to be sure the decibels (sound) do not exceed safe levels.
4

PLASMA ARC RAYS
Plasma Arc Rays can injure your eyes and burn your skin. The plasma arc process produces very bright ultra violet and infra-red light. These arc rays will damage your eyes and burn your skin if you are not properly protected.
· To protect your eyes, always wear a cutting helmet or shield. Also always wear safety glasses with side shields, goggles or other protective eye wear.
· Wear cutting gloves and suitable clothing to protect your skin from the arc rays and sparks. · Keep helmet and safety glasses in good condition. Replace lenses when cracked, chipped or
dirty. · Protect others in the work area from the arc rays. Use protective booths, screens or shields.

APPENDIX
6.1 About the CUT voltage divider
The CUT power supplies are equipped with an optional, factory-installed, four-position voltage divider that is designed to be safely connected without tools. The built-in voltage divider provides a scaled down arc voltage of 20:1, 21.1:1, 30:1, 40:1, and 50:1 (maximum output of 18 V). An optional receptacle on the rear of the power supply provides access to the scaled down arc voltage and signals for arc transfer and plasma start.
Note:
The factory presets the voltage divider to 50:1. To change the voltage divider to a different setting, refer to the section on the next page.
The factory-installed internal voltage divider provides a maximum of 18 V under open circuit conditions. This is an impedance-protected functional extra low voltage (ELV) output to prevent shock, energy, and fire under normal conditions at the machine interface receptacle and under single fault conditions with the machine interface wiring. The voltage divider is not fault tolerant and ELV outputs do not comply with safety extra low voltage (SELV) requirements for direct connection to computer products.
Note:
The cover on the machine interface receptacle prevents dust and moisture from damaging the receptacle when not in use. This cover should be replaced if damaged or lost.
Installation of the machine interface cable must be performed by a qualified service technician. To install a machine interface cable: 1. Turn OFF the power and disconnect the power cord. 2. Remove the machine interface receptacle's cover from the front of the power supply. 3. Connect the Pritec machine interface cable to the power supply.

Setting the five-position voltage divider on the CUT
The factory presets the voltage divider to 50:1. To change the voltage divider to a different setting: 1. Turn OFF the power supply and disconnect the power cord. 2. Remove the power supply cover. 3. Locate the voltage divider DIP switches on the left side of the power supply.
