•
Run the torch and work leads from the table to the plasma power unit, then make the CNC
cable connections to the VFC and Accumove2.
•
Connect the I and J wires for Arc Established [OK to Move] to the Accumove Input
cable.
•
Connect the K and M wires to the #1 output terminals on the Accumove2 [Start Arc
(Now)]. Use the Terminal block and 22-guage wire (not supplied).
•
Connect the (-)D and (+)G cables to the VFC black (-) and red (+) cables. Be sure to
observe the correct polarity on this [Raw Arc Voltage] signal.
•
Run the height control cable from the VFC to the Accumove.the wiring components for
the control of the torch and control of the AVHC unit. Both ends of this cable are the
same. It's best to position the VFC close to the plasma power unit and well away from
the Accumove2 in order to minimize EMI problems.
•
Run the Ohmic cap cable from the torch lead the VFC using the orange wire.
•
Optionally, run the wire from the magnetic breakaway sensor to the Accumove2
Breakaway port.
