replacing, again press or touch 【RtZr】(Picture 4-27), gun will quickly return to breakpoint,
after ignition, hand cutting key, press 【 Strt】 will go on cutting.
The function can be used repeatedly; breakpoint record position is the last setting
position.
Setting breakpoint function can be derived used, for example, displacement perforation
function and so on.
In setting breakpoint mode, use inch function to adjust gun position, and use directly 【Y+/↑】
【Y-/↓】【X-/←】【x+/→】to move gun, but this moment cautiously operate, because no
return parameter return origin can start cutting. Origin speed is by moving limit speed
multiplying, press【 】、【 】to increase and decrease speed.
Moving speed is pressing 【 】、 【 】to increase and decrease speed when equipment
moves, actual value doesn’t show on the screen. Press once to increase or decrease 1%
of moving limit speed, press long continuously increase and decrease, until respectively
reach limit value100% and 1%.
When using cutting slot compensation, note that you must choose to adopt machine
compensation way when software generates codes, cutting slot compensation is
effective. Because when software generates codes, there is no G40, G41 and G42 code
in software compensation program, don’t run
compensation order. (4-32)
In any emergency, unless it is unnecessary, press emergency button on the left of the
machine, at this moment, the machine power down, switch indicator light is still on, the system
screen will continue to be on for a few seconds, these are all normal phenomenon.

●The operator must have professional cutting training and skillfully operate it,
nonprofessional person cannot operate it.
●Track and bean adjust clearance by eccentric axis, long time use, clearance can
become big and flexible. Check that appearance before operation, when essential, tight it, see
content in Installing.
●Adjust cut plate, keep the plane with track.
●According to plate thickness and texture, choose proper nozzle, nozzle is vertical with plate,
choose rational cutting speed and preheat time and suitable gas and cutting oxygen pressure.
●Anybody cannot touch flame area after ignition. Operator does his best to take less splash
cutting mode to protect nozzle. Check heating flame and cutting oxygen jet, if nozzle dirty or
damaged, replace and clear it in time. Clearing nozzle uses special tools.
●If backfire happens when cutting, shut in time gas valve, cut off power, machine off. If backfire
valve is burn off, stop using it, replace it by professional persons.
●Operator should always pay attention to equipment running, if there is exceptional situation
such as having gas and other peculiar smell, shut gas valve, prohibit leaving scene after opening
machine.
●After finishing work, first shut gas valve, let out residual gas in pipe, shut power.
●Shut power if long time leaving machine.

Any plasma cutting which fix THC system, before adjust every parameter, make
sure arc control switch is “on”, refer to 4-4 page “4.5.3.4system”.
Warning
Plasma arc light and hot metal may harm eyes and scald skin, please
make precaution
4.5.3 Setting
4.5.3.1 Parameter Setting Process of Control Panel
1、Set compensation up value , it define by testing the actual up and down speed.
2、Set arc striking height (initial position) value .
3、Set arc voltage value, at unknown plasma cutter situation, collect arc voltage by hand trial cutting.
4、Observe tracking effect, set sensitivity value and if necessary.
4.5.3.2 Compensation Up
Connect THC system with portable NC cutting machine correctly in advance , fix cutting gun to
its clamper, keep cutting gun perpendicular to plate, turn on all power, make initial position
switch “on”.
a. At state, press【 ┼/↑】button, cutting gun go up , observe up speed, press【
┼/↑】button again, stop going up. press【 ─/↓】button, cutting gun go down, press【 ─
/↓】again, stop gong down, then compare up and down speed.
b. If up and down is near to the same, no need to change value.
c. If up speed is lower, press【 Set/Save】button to change over to “ ” item, pre-set one
value, then press【 Return/Test】button back to state, then do as “a” step,
repeatedly like this until up and down speed are same.
4.5.3.3 Starting Arc Height (Initial Position)
Non-contact plasma cutter’s starting arc and the best cutting height is decided by the performan-
ce of plasma cutter. Set the arc striking height by setting item, and tracking by this height.
a. At state, press【 Return/Test】button, cutting gun go down, then stop after
rebounding to one height when touch the plate, press【 Set/Save】button change over to “ ”
item, after preset one value, press【 Return/Test】button back to state, repeatedly
like this to observe height until satisfy. The larger value, the larger distance.
4.5.3.4 Plasma Arc Voltage Collecting
Before cutting you should set suitable arc voltage if cut work-piece which connect THC system,
it could help cutting gun to keep constant distance with plate’s arc ups and downs to achieve
stable cutting for out of flatness plate. If can’t define arc voltage, then define by collecting.
a. Refer to 4-11page “manual moving speed” method to adjust MS speed same with normal
cutting work-piece speed.
b. Select a flat area on edge of pre-cut plate, length about 50-100mm, fix initial position to arc
striking height. At preparing state, press【 Collect】button, this time digital tube
show xxx, and bouncing at some frequency, this is the state that prepare to collect.
c. Press【 】button on system panel , after piecing the hole, press any button to make machine
moving straightly, this time check the value on digital tube, press again 【 Collect】button
when the value is relative stable, this time value shows xxx(xxx means arc voltage when
plasma cutter cut stably), close cutting at immediately, about 3 second, system rebound to
state, collect voltage successfully.
d. Before collecting action could press【 Return/Test】button at any time to stop current action,
and press【 Set/Save】button could check value, if collecting voltage is normal, press
【 Return/Test】back to state, then finish cutting. If cutting effect isn’t perfect, reset
arc voltage again to adjust the best tracking state, in general, if cutting gun goes down all the
time even touch steel plate means voltage is low, otherwise, voltage is high.
(4-6-1) (4-6-2)
3、“Time-lapse” parameter setting is the key for plasma cutting , every time cutting gun from
initial position to piece , all press as this order: “Torch down→Preheat→Piece Up →Piece Down
→(Normal cutting until finish) → Torch up ”(Picture 4-6-3), so setting these parameter correctly
is the key for using plasma cutting.
(4-6-3) (4-6-4)
3.1 “Torch Down” means the time after cutting gun idling run to intended position then goes
down to certain height, this judge by your experience. There are two situation when plasma
cutting: one is no configure THC or configure but don’t use initial position,, this situation you
could set the time but usually not so accurate; Another is configure THC and use initial position,
this situation should keep 00000 value, because cutting will go down automatically then rebound
when touch the steel plate .
3.2 “Preheat” means preheat time when used for flame cutting, if plasma cutting, regard it as stay
time that cutting gun quickly move to intended position, this could stable cutting gun instead of
shaking seriously, if moving speed isn’t very quick, no need to set.
3.3 “Piece Up”, include previous value and back value. Previous value means the lifting time of
cutting gun when piecing, used for protecting spray nozzle because sometimes the spraying dreg
could damage and shorten lifetime of machine , of course, this decide by plasma piecing
ability and make sure don’t close arc; Back value means piece stop time, thicker steel plate need
a little long piecing time, otherwise the same. Some plasma cutter machine, when start the
cutting switch could deliver gas in advance, but attention that the piecing time must longer than
deliver gas time, otherwise, cutting gun will start running when without piecing through steel
plate.
3.4 “Piece Down”, is responding parameter for “Piece Up”, generally , after setting piece up
time , then set piece down time, finish piecing then back to normal cutting height, but due to
gravity function, the value for piece up is a little higher than piece down.
3.5 “Torch Up” means after cutting one section, cutting gun should lift to certain height,then
idling run to next cutting point,generally 1.5 second is ok(Picture 4-6-4). The value after torch
up means stop time after torch up to certain height, this usually used for flame cutting to avoid
residual gas burn the work-piece, and no need to set this value when plasma cutting.
Plasma cutting which fix THC system, please make sure every wires connect
correctly and reliably.
