3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Check that the machine has been properly connected to power supply and compressed air according
to chapter 2, INSTALLATION.

Check that the torch is fitted with appropriate consumables for the job at hand.

Connect the return clamp directly onto the work piece, ensuring that a good contact is obtained.
If necessary, clean the surface from paint, rust, dirt, etc.

Switch the machine’s main power switch on. The READY lamp will light and the fan will start working.

Choose process power, 20-100 Ampere.

Press trigger shortly to start air pre-flow and check air pressure: 4.5 – 5.0 bar.
When cutting at lower amperage than 70 A it may be necessary to lower the air pressure to 4.5 bar in
order to get the best cutting capability.
Do not forget to raise the pressure again to 5 bar if returning to amperage above 70 A.

Cutting

Place the torch in position for cutting or gouging. For most cutting
operations the contact cutting shield should be used. It is placed
directly on the work piece at the edge where cutting should start

Lift the trigger protection and press the trigger-switch on the torch
handle.
Air will flow for one second before the pilot arc strikes.
The pilot arc will burn for about 3 seconds.
If contact with the work piece is not obtained within this time, the pilot
arc goes out.
Reposition the torch to ensure that the pilot arc will reach the work-
piece and make a new try.

When the cutting arc is established, pull the torch slowly across the
surface that is to be cut. At correct speed the sparks goes straight
through the metal with only a slight bending towards the beginning of
the cut

Pause briefly at the end of cut before releasing the trigger.

The plasma arc goes out immediately. Air will continue to flow for
about 30 seconds. When removing the finger from the trigger the
trigger protection will close over the button.

Revision date: 16-07-08 Page 4 of 44

Piercing

Rest the contact drag shield on the

work piece at 45° angle.

Press the trigger-switch on the torch handle.

Air will flow for one second before the pilot arc strikes.

After cutting arc starts, slowly and in one smooth movement,

straighten torch back up until 90° angle to plate.
Start moving torch across plate when observing that the arc
penetrates.

Circle cutting guide (optional accessory)

The wheeled wagon in the circle cutting set should be used when
cutting on uneven surfaces where it is difficult to use the drag
shield.
1. Pull off the drag shield
2. Insert the torch to a position where the distance from nozzle
tip to work piece is 3-4mm
3. Tighten the allen screw on the inner ring.
4. Tighten the allen screw on the outer ring with the wheels
axis at 90° to the torch handle
For cutting circles the allen screw in point 4 must be loosened to
allow the torch to rotate in the wagon.
The circle cutting bar is screwed into the wheel centre, and the
centre tap is fastened at the correct radius.

Revision date: 16-07-08 Page 5 of 44

Gouging
1 Pull off the drag shield and shield cup
2 Mount the gouging nozzle and replace the shield cup
3 Contact gouging cannot be done. Start the arc with the nozzle at 45° angle, slightly off the work
piece.
4 When gouging arc is established, move the torch forward, blowing the molten metal out of the
groove.
5 Groove depth and width is adjusted by weaving and torch angle.

NOTE!
When the machine is not in use or is only working at long intervals, switch off the machine. It contains
mechanical components that should not be exposed to unnecessary wear. It also protects against
accidental firing the pilot arc.

5. MAINTENANCE
DAILY
Inspect and, if necessary, change the torch consumable parts.

Note:
Electrode and nozzle must be changed at regular intervals, as a general guideline after 2 hours
continous use, or after 200 starts.
Always replace the electrode if the centre has a pit more than 2 mm (1/16” deep). Replace the nozzle if
the opening is deformed or clearly oversized.
Failure to replace worn nozzle or electrode in time will dramatically reduce the cutting capacity and
eventually ruin the torch.

The moisture trap on the backside of the machine is self-relieving by pressure drop, this means that
every time you start and stop a cutting cycle it will drain the moisture in the trap. If cleaning or manual
emptying of the trap is necessary, completely unscrew the glass cup after disconnecting compressed
air.

Carefully inspect the hose assembly and torch body with regard to any leak or damage.
Never use a damaged torch.

EVERY THREE TO SIX MONTHS

Disconnect the machine from compressed air and electricity.
Remove the cover.
Clean the machine with dry, clean and oil free compressed air. Inspect cable connections and gas
system.
In especially dirty environments this procedure should be carried out more often.

6. TROUBLE SHOOTING

TP- Total Protection

The UPC-1041TP is equipped with Total Protection – TP which monitors the input voltage and phases
and protects the machine when the voltage is outside the limits or one phase is missing in the mains
supply. If the TP LED is active when turning on the machine then check the input voltage and phases.

Thermal overload
If the air pressure is correct but the green ready lamp is not lit the power source is overheated and
needs to cool down before it can be used again. Let the machine cool down while switched on until the
ready lamp lights up.

Please note that the UPC-1041 TP plasma cutter is equipped with an active fan control which will run
the fan until the machine is cooled down to a safe level.
Here is a small description how it works:

The Active fan control will switch on the fan when the operator switches on the machine in order for the
operator to hear that the machine starts up, if the operator doesn’t start a cutting cycle within 5min the
machine will switch off the fan.

When the operator activates the torch the Active fan control will start the fan and keep it running during
the whole cutting cycle and 5min after in order to cool the machine, if the operator doesn’t reactivate
the torch during these 5min the fan switches off.

If the operator activates the torch within the 5min the Active fan control will reset the timing and when
the operator stops the cutting cycle the fan will again run for 5min.

As an added protection the Active fan control senses the temperature on the main transformer via a
thermistor, if the transformer is still warm after the 5min time cycle the fan will keep running until the
transformer has reached a preset temperature.

Torch malfunction
If the pilot arc does not strike:

- Change nozzle, electrode and electrode insulator.

- Check and if necessary, adjust inlet air pressure on the rear of the machine to 5 bar.
- If possible, measure gas flow through the nozzle while the post flow function is
active. The flow should be approx. 20-28 l/min.

If the pilot arc is not stable:

- Too high gas flow. Adjust pressure to 5 bar.

If possible measure the flow through the nozzle.
- The machine is working two-phase. Check mains fuses.

Inferior performance or cutting quality:

- Check consumables.
- Inspect the torch body and hose assembly for damage.
- Check the return clamp connection.

7. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

All endangerments through plasma cutting are related with the process itself.
Endangerments may occur due to:
- High contact voltage
- HV ignition
- Electromagnetic interferences
- Heat and light radiation
- Gases, fumes and smoke
- Noise
- Hot metal and spatter
- Handling of pressure cylinders
The Plasma Cutting Machine has been developed in conformity with following standards:
• EN 60974-1 safety requirements for installations for arc welding and welding power sources
• EN 60974-10 electromagnetic compatibility

Before starting the Plasma Cutting Machine carefully read this Instruction Manual. Only advised
personnel are allowed to operate the plasma installation!

Endangerment due to high contact voltage

Warning! Before opening the plasma cutting machine the input power has to be disconnected
physically from the mains (unplug mains cable)!
Only advised personnel are allowed to carry out any repairs to the machine.
Attention! Connect the return lead clamp onto and earth the workplace before starting the
machine!

Important precautions
Connect power source only to correctly earthed mains socket with proper connected protective earth
conductor.
Wear insulating protective clothing (safety shoes, leather apron, gloves), place torch on a surface
insulated from machine earth during breaks,
Keep cutting area and plasma machine components dry and clean and follow the maintenance
recommendations strictly.

Working under elevated electrical endangerment

This plasma cutting machine in conformity with valid standards (EN 60974-1) can be used for
operation under elevated electrical endangerment. The design of the torch prevents electrical danger
when the torch is disassembled. Therefore the power source is marked with the S-sign and operation
under enhanced electrical endangerment is allowed.
Attention! Always follow the local safety rules!

Endangerment through high voltage (HV)

A HV-igniter starts the pilot arc. The HV-supply is cut-off automatically after pilot arc has struck.
Attention! Never touch nozzle or nozzle cap when power source is switched ON! HV-ignition may
establish electromagnetic fields and can influence heart pace-makers and electronic devices

Endangerment through electromagnetic interferences

The plasma cutting unit is in conformity with the conditions of the EN 60974-10 “Electromagnetic
compatibility”. This standard is valid for arc welding and related processes (plasma cutting) that come
in use in commercial and private fields.
Warning! Special precautions may be required if the plasma unit is used in private fields (for instance
screened cables etc.) The user takes the full risk when installing and using the machine and must
follow strictly these instructions. If electromagnetic interferences are noticed the user is to contact the
producer to solve the problem.

Revision date: 16-07-08 Page 11 of 44

Recommendations to classify the environment (EN 60974):
Before the installation takes place the user has to evaluate the environment for electromagnetic
problems and to take into consideration:
Other mains supplies, control cables, signal and telecommunication lines along, above, below or
beside the installation.
Broadcasting or television installations
Computers or other controls
Safety devices, protection circuits
The health of people in the area (heart pace makers, hearing aids etc.)
Devices for measuring and calibrating
The noise immunity of equipment around the installation must be compatible with electromagnetic
interferences. Special measures may be required.

Recommendations to minimize interferences:

Apply filter for mains connection.
Screening of mains cable of the plasma installation (safe contact between screen and housing
required)
Constant maintenance
Always keep cover plates and doors of the plasma machines closed
Avoid excessive length of cutting cables
Arrange potential equalization between metallic parts around the installation (the operator has to be
insulated from those parts)
Proper return clamp connection onto the work piece
Selective screening of other cables and installations

Endangerment through heat and light radiation

The plasma arc produces intense ultraviolet and infrared radiation that can hurt the eyes and skin.
Therefore the following precautions have to be arranged:
Wearing of flame-retardant welding clothes (helmet, apron, gloves, safety shoes)
Hand or head shield with protective glasses of medium shade for watching the cutting process
Preparing the cutting area so that reflection and transmission of ultraviolet light is reduced if necessary
use protective walls and screens

Endangerment through fumes and smoke

Due to the plasma process itself hazardous substances may be produced. To avoid risks on health the
following has to be done:
Keep cutting place well ventilated
Remove fumes and smoke by exhaustion devices
Remove all chlorinated and other solvents from the cutting area. They could form phosgene gas
when exposed to ultraviolet radiation
Wear a breathing mask when cutting galvanized materials
Ensure that toxic limits are not exceeded

Endangerment through noise

Be aware that during plasma cutting a high noise level arises, and can reach levels above 100 decibel.
Adequate ear protection must be used.

Endangerment through spatter

During plasma cutting sparks, slag and hot metal are produced. The risk of burns and fire exists! To
avoid these endangerments the following has to be advised:
Remove all potential flammable materials from cutting area, at least in a 10 m distance
Cool down freshly cut material before handling
Make fire extinguisher available in the cutting area

Press torch trigger, D17 lights up indicating pre flow, gas starts to flow through the system.

3. Pilot arc:
After about 1sec D16 lights up indicating that the PWM PCB should start to send out pulses to the
primary PCB, and that the ignition pulses to the ignition transformer should start. Pilot arc ignites.
This signal is present for approx. 3sec then the signal disappears and pilot arc is extinguished if the
pilot arc doesn’t make contact with work piece.

Cont. 8.12 Check E3 Control & Ignition PCB.

4. Main arc:
When the pilot arc gets in contact with the cutting material D15 and D25 lights up indicating that the
signal for contact with material has been detected, the E3 Control & ignition PCB is activating the
cutting flow, switching off pilot transistor and increasing current from pilot current to cutting current.

5. Post flow:
After finished cutting cycle and release off trigger D17 and D25 remains on for approx. 30secs in order
for the torch to cool down after finished cutting cycle.

If any discrepancies change the E3 Ignition & Control PCB.

8.13 Active Fan Control check.

1. When switching on the machine with the B1 switch the fan should start running and LED D23 and
D28 should light up. After approx. 5min the fan should switch off and D23 and D28 should go out.

2. Press the torch trigger. D23 and D29 lights up indicating that the cutting signal controls the AFC.

3. To test the thermal control of the AFC you can bridge the A8 contact with a piece of wire, this should
make the D23 and D30 LED light up.

If any discrepancies change the E3 Control & Ignition PCB.
