SETUP
Connect the Air and Gas Hoses
When connecting pipeline shop air or compressed gas cylinders, use inert gas hoses for the plasma and shield
connections to the MAX200.
Plasma (Air) and Shield (Air) Hoses
MAX200 systems are normally shipped from the factory configured, so that air is supplied to both the PLASMA
and SHIELD GAS inlets from a single filter/pressure regulator. The filter is used to maintain a high air purity level.
All moisture, oil, and other contaminants must be removed. If the air hoses must be re-connected, proceed as
follows (see Figure 3-4):
1. Connect the plasma air hose from the regulator to the PLASMA gas inlet.
2. Connect the shield air hose from the regulator to the SHIELD gas inlet.
3. Connect the shop-supplied or cylinder-supplied air hose to the input of the filter/pressure regulator.
