1-26 PAC-500
12 SPECIFY THE DIGITAL CURRENT CONTROL (DCC)
Since the DCC can be used with or without a THC system, the digital current control can
be ordered independently under its own part number. This allows the operator to set the
current at the control station.
• Locate an area to mount the current control receiver (this should be in easy reach of the
operator) and the transmitter and order the system.
12a SPECIFY THE DIGITAL CURRENT CONTROL INTERCONNECTING CABLE
The cabling for the DCC system must be ordered to connect the transmitter to the
current control receiver. The standard length is 50 feet (15 m). Additional length DCC
cable is also available (specify required additional length).
Cabling from the transmitter to the power supply (supplies) is not provided. Use
three-pair 22-gauge cable for this connection.
13 SPECIFY THE ARGON-HYDROGEN MANIFOLD
The argon-hydrogen manifold must be used when argon-hydrogen mixtures will be used.
The open panel design is ideal to vent possible combustible gas leaks. A six-foot cable
to connect the manifold to the control console is included in the system. The hosing that
connects the torch to the control console is removed at the control console and attached
to the argon-hydrogen manifold when cutting with an argon-hydrogen mixture.
• The argon-hydrogen manifold should be mounted on or very near the control console.
Order the system.
14 SPECIFY THE WATER MUFFLER SYSTEM
The water muffler noise control attachment reduces the extremely high noise levels
produced in plasma cutting. For this reason, the water muffler system is required for
above-water cutting. The water muffler system can not be used when cutting above 700
amps. The system includes a torch nozzle, a re-circulating pump and two interconnecting
hoses. The two hoses are four feet (1.2 m) - water pump to water table and 50 feet (15 m)
- water pump to torch in length. Systems can be ordered with or without the hosing.
14a • Determine the voltage available at the site, where the pump is to be placed (it
should be very near the water table), and order the WM system with hoses.
14b • Determine the voltage available at the site, where the pump is to be placed (it
should be very near the water table), and order the WM system without hoses.
15 ORDER THE WATER MUFFLER CONTROL CABLE
The water muffler system does not come with a control cable. The control cable
interconnects the water muffler pump with the power supply. Specify length when
ordering this cable.
• Order the water muffler control cable.
16 ORDER ADDITIONAL LENGTH WATER MUFFLER HOSE
• If additional length water muffler hosing is needed, specify length when ordering.
