1-12 PAC-500
7 SELECT THE FLOWMETER PANEL OR OPERATOR'S PANEL
The flowmeter panel consists of gas and water flowmeters and is connected to the
control console.
The operator's panel consists of gas and water flowmeters as well as system status
indicator lights, and ON/OFF and TEST/RUN switches.
Both the flowmeter and the operator's panel are available for 1- or multi-torch PAC-500 systems.
The panel should be mounted for easy operator access. See the
Specifications section of
this manual for mounting dimensions and weight.
Select the flowmeter panel if the cutting machine provides all plasma operating switches and
indicator lights on its own control panel.
7a • Determine where the flowmeter panel will be mounted, how many torches will be in the
system, and order the appropriate panel. Note: Only one panel needs to be ordered for
single or multi-torch systems.
Select the operator's panel if the cutting machine does not provide plasma operating switches
and indicator lights on its control panel.
7b • Determine where the operator's panel will be mounted, how many torches will be in the
system, and order the appropriate panel. Note: Only one panel needs to be ordered for
single or multi-torch systems.
8 SELECT THE FLOWMETER PANEL HOSES OR
OPERATOR'S PANEL LEADS
The flowmeter panel hoses and the operator's panel leads both connect their respective panels
to the control console. The flowmeter hose set contains no control cable. The operator's
panel lead set contains the same hoses as the flowmeter set as well as a control cable that
connects to the control console. Each control console ordered (one per torch) requires one
set of flowmeter panel hoses or operator's panel leads. Ex: A two-torch application using
an operator's panel requires one operator's panel, two control consoles and two operator's
panel lead sets. A three-torch application using an operator's panel requires one operator's
panel, three control consoles and three operator's panel lead sets, etc.
The flowmeter panel hoses can be connected to either the standard control console or the
UL control console.
There are two styles of operator's panel leads: one to connect to the standard control console,
and one to connect to the UL control console. Be sure to order the correct style lead set.
8a • Determine the appropriate length of hose set by measuring the total routing distance from
the flowmeter panel to each console.
8b • Determine the appropriate length of lead set by measuring the total routing distance from
the operator's panel to each standard control console.
8c • Determine the appropriate length of lead set by measuring the total routing distance from
the operator's panel to each UL control console.
