4.03 Basic Operation

NOTE

Frequently review the safety precautions at the front
of this manual.

1. Setup

Make sure the system is set up properly before operat-
ing. Check the following:

a.

Input Voltage Connection

Check the power source for proper input voltage.
The voltage must be compatible with the High-Low
Voltage selection within the ULTIMA-150 Power
Supply.

NOTE

This step is particularly important if the input
power cable is not hard-wired to the power source,
and the system is moved frequently between loca-
tions.

b.

Gas Connections

Make sure gas pressure regulators are connected
properly to the plasma welding system.

c.

Work Cable Connection

Check for a solid and clean work cable connection
to the work piece. The area must be free from paint
and rust.

d. Torch Assembly and Connection

Check the torch for proper assembly and torch parts
for the application and appropriate front end torch
parts.

2. Turn on Gases

Turn gases on. Check that gases pressure is set to 35
psi.

3. Turn on System
