appendix 1 - Victor Technologies

Set the Power Supply RUN/SET switch to the RUN position
and note the following:
Gas Indicator goes OFF
Gas flow stops
NOTE
This unit has a 20 second pre-purge feature which
begins when the unit is turned ON. As long as the
RUN/SET Switch is in the SET position, the gas
will flow indefinitely. However, once the RUN/
SET Switch is placed in the RUN position, the gas
will stop flowing after approximately 20 seconds
(The 20 seconds begins from the time the unit is
turned on, not from when the unit was put in the
RUN position.)
This completes the Main Input and Internal Power Tests.
If the unit functions as described above, and all correct
then proceed to the Pilot Arc Test below.
If the unit does not function as noted then note the symptom
and proceed to Section 4.07, Main Input and Internal
Power Problems.
C. Pilot Arc Test
Press the torch switch to establish a pilot arc and note the
following:
Gas flows
GAS indicator turns ON
After preflow delay DC indicator turns ON
Pilot arc established
This completes the Pilot Arc Test. If the above are all correct
then proceed to the Main Arc Test below.
If the above does not function as noted then note the
symptom and proceed to Section 4.08, Pilot Arc Problems.
D. Main Arc Test
Press the Torch Switch to establish a pilot arc.
Bring the torch to within 1/8"-3/8" (3.2 - 9.5 mm) of the
workpiece to establish the main cutting arc, and note the
following:
Main cutting arc initiates
This completes the Main Arc Test. If the above are all
correct then the equipment should be operating properly.
If problems still persist then contact Technical Services.
If the above does not function as noted then note the
symptom and proceed to Section 4.09, Main Arc Problems.
