ULTRA-CUT 300
4.09 Sequence of Operation
Ultracut with DFC 3000 using TSC 3000
The purpose of this section is to explain the steps an operator should follow when using the DFC 3000 with the TSC
3000 touch screen control panel for a specific cutting process. Also included are steps to follow for changing torch
consumables.
NOTE
For units not using the TSC 3000 where control is embedded into the cutting table controller most of
this sequence still applies except for the parts that are specific to the TSC 3000. For those sections
refer to the cutting table controller documentation.
This assumes the system setup; language and units, lead lengths, etc., have already been performed by the installer
and the system is confirmed as operational.
1. Before Applying power:
a) Ensure that the required gasses are connected to the DMC 3000 inlet and gasses are turned on and set
for required inlet pressure.
b) Ensure you have a torch cartridge with consumables installed on the torch.
If you don’t know what consumables you need to use and need to select the cutting process in order to read the
consumables list on the TSC 3000, you can start up with Plasma Disabled. In this case the operation sequence
will skip to step 3.
c) Set Plasma Enable SW on the TSC 3000 to Enabled.
2. Turn on 3 phase power at the main disconnect (Plasma Enable on TSC 3000 on). Turn on the power supply
ON/Off switch on the front panel.
a) The AC indicator on the front panel will come on and the inverter fans will start after an initial 4-5
second self check.
b) After another 5 seconds the DC indicator will blink twice indicating this is an Ultracut.
c) Immediately following this the Temp, Gas, DC & Status indicators will blink the CCM firmware version.
Example, version 4.1 will blink 4 times followed by a short space then blink once more.
d) At the same time the DMC & DPC, both Green & Red LEDs, also blink their firmware version in the same
fashion.
e) Following the firmware version indication, while CCM establishes communication with the gas control
(Step e.), the coolant pump and fans come on to “prime” the system. The “gas” indicator on the front
panel blinks until correct coolant flow is detected. Normally this takes only a few seconds but can last
up to 4 minutes if there is a problem. Should there be a problem with priming the coolant system the
Status indicator will flash code 4-4 and the pump will stop until you rectify the problem and recycle the
power.
NOTE
If communication is not established in step e. the Gas indicator will not blink at this time, also pump
shuts off after 15 sec and shows code 4-2.
f) Once communication with the DFC components is established the Green power indicator on both DMC
& DPC will be on and their Red indicator will be off.
g) Skip to step 4.
