i have put everything together ran all the neccesary wires. now i need a little help wiring up my plasma. ive seen a post on pirate about a voltage transformer. im i suppose to get that with the kit or no. also my plasma came with exposed wires to go from the plasma to the controller...where do they go???
anotherthing how come the cables for the dthc and the z axis are short. on my 4x8 table the cables only come to the end of the table but the other two have about 8 ft left. kinda of wierd
Check your cables for all the other axis make sure you dont have a shorty. The DTHC card is hooked up via DB9 or simple serial cable. How long was the DB9?
Also the 101 is pretty easy to hook up but because it is older technology it does require a current transformer. These are VERY easy to install but are not included with the system. I can get one out to you on monday they are a cheap little $12 part. You will need to hook up 3 things
1. Torch switch (fires torch on and off and it must be spliced into two blue wires coming from the plug that the torch lead attaches to)
2. The current transformer for arc ok is hooked up like this. You may need to loosen the power cable coming in to your 101. One leg of the 220 line goes through the center of the current transformer. The current transformer utilizes a resistor on top between terminals and it will come with one. The resistor has long metal legs you wrap around the current transformer and on each end you also include one lead to the arc ok terminals on the DTHC card. These terminals on your card will have little screws fro tightening.
3. The last thing to hook up is the tip volts. These are the large seperated prongs on the DTHC card. They go to this area. Find out which one is positive and which is negative both on the pc board and on the card. If you dont know which one goes where on the PC board in the plama unit then follow the instructions on the little DTHC card. One lead (+/positive) goes to the clamp you use for ground and the other lead (-/negative) goes to the torch lead or plasma cutting head.
the cables that are the shortest are the ones for the dthc and the y i believe. it has that extra 4 ft that it has to go across the table thats why its shorter.
the cutmaster 101 came with a connector that plugs into the plasma and the bare wires go to the controler i believe not sure. im searching TD website to see where it goes.
is there anything else that i need to hook up or buy before i use it. i was hoping to get cutting this weekend hopefully...
