Plasma 1000 Series Installation Checklist

These machine installation procedures should be followed in order by a MultiCam Technician,
and the plasma unit should be fully functional at the end of the installation. Three asterisks (***)
indicate optional steps that may not be applicable to all plasma units. Receiving Preparation
See Pre-Installation Documents.
1. Machine unpacked & inventoried
(suggest customer take digital pictures)

6. Ethernet communication cable run

2. Shipping damage claimed &

replacement parts ordered if any

7. Air pressure to machine must be at

120PSI @ 5CFM Type 3 Air? Yes or No
Incoming Air Pressure ______________

3. Machine & fume extraction units in

final location w/proper space
requirements

8. Fume extraction provided ***

4. Leveling feet on

9. Computer provided

5. Proper electrical to disconnect switch

from disconnect box on machine, fume
extraction unit, & Hypertherm units

10. Process gases, consumables, &

materials for training with & 3/8 airline
hoses

Mechanical Installation: PHASE I

1. Level table (as low as possible).
2. Remove all axis covers.
3. Reseat the X-axis motor assemblies in the
rack.
4. Connect the motor connectors for XA,
XB, Y, and Z to the control box.

5. Re-adjust belts (if necessary).

6. Install the pendant to the control box.
7. Slightly loosen the bolts connecting

Electrical Installation Make sure the voltage setting is close to 40Vdc without going over.
1. Measure the incoming voltage at C/B
with wires 100/L1 and 102/L3.

2. Adjust the transformer with the

power OFF. Move wire 112 to
matching incoming voltage
at
locations 210, 220, 230, or 240.
3. Check for loose/disconnected wires
(including gantry head and spindle box)
with the power OFF.
4. Disconnect the Connector N from
the top of the silver controller box
inside the cabinet with the power OFF.
5. Turn the circuit breaker ON and
OFF.

6. Check the AC voltage at pins 23 & 24 for

approximately 26-28Vac for MD4 and
approximately 53-55Vac for HP4. If the
level is too high, power down to adjust the
transformer.
7. Power down and attach. Connector N
back to the controller box.

8. Power up the machine.

9. Adjust the transformer and try again if

the voltage is too high and an error
message shows on the keypad.
10. Check the voltage at the keypad by
pressing Shift, Help, and Six. Refer to the
Schematics and adjust the transformer if
necessary.

Mechanical Installation: PHASE II Electricity is required.

Slightly loosen gantry bolts Loosen both sides of the X-axis (moving gantry
only).

Hard Home If machine will not find limits, then see Help Docs.
Verify Resolutions See Help Docs for more information on how to check

resolution

Verify Table Parameters Jog the full distance in X-, Y-, & Z-axes. Make sure
that

the gantry & head do not make physical contact with the end stops.

Verify the torch is parallel to the table.

Square Table Use a pen taped to the side of the head to make 4 points to verify the
square of the

gantry. The bigger the perfect rectangle or square, the more accurate.

Tighten Gantry Bolts Utighten both sides of the X-axis (moving gantry only).
Mechanical Installation: PHASE IIa for ATHC Machines only
These tasks should be completed in addition to the tasks above.

Check the Ohmic Sensor.

Calibrate the Override Sensor.
Check the Z tracking.
Suite4 Machine Software Installation

Reboot Machine Check for red letter errors.

Capture NVRAM Check the factory Flash settings before making any modifications. Save
to Computer and Tech computers.
Check Init and Firmware Version Type v & press Enter. Capture the screen or write
down the information. Make updates if necessary.
