SECTION 3 – INSTALLATION
3-1. CONNECTING THE PENDANT CONTROL
(Figures 3-1 And 3-2)
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Do not touch live electrical parts.
Shut down power source, and disconnect in-
put power employing lockout/tagging proce-
dures before inspecting, maintaining, or serv-
icing.
Lockout/tagging procedures consist of pad-
locking line disconnect switch in open position,
removing fuses from fuse box, or shutting off
and red-tagging circuit breaker or other discon-
necting device.
The Pendant Control must be internally connected to
the power source terminal strip 1T. To make connec-
tions, proceed as follows:
A. Connections For 750 And 1500 Models (Figure
3-1 And Figure 6-1)

connected to the power source, the Thickness Output
Control on the power source front panel is inoperative.
1. Remove power source left side panel, and locate
terminal strip 1T.
2. Route Pendant Control cord through the opening
in the power source front panel where the torch
and work cable are routed.
3. Disconnect jumper link connected between ter-
minals 9 and 10, and reconnect jumper link be-
tween terminals 8 and 9 on 1T.
4. Connect the Pendant Control black contactor
switch lead to terminal 3 on 1T.
5. Connect the Pendant Control white contactor
switch lead to terminal 4 on 1T.

ON
OFF
MOMENTARY
The Torch Output Control switch has three positions;
On, Off, and Momentary. Placing this switch in the On
position activates the cutting torch. Placing this switch in
the Off position deactivates the torch. Pushing this
switch to the Momentary position activates the torch;
when the switch is released it returns to the Off position.
4-2. THICKNESS OUTPUT CONTROL (Figure
4-1)
The Thickness Output Control provides a means of se-
lecting the desired output within the entire range of the
power source. The scale surrounding the control is cali-
brated in percent (0-100) and should not be read in in-
ches. Rotating the control clockwise increases the out-
put of the power source.
A. For All Models Except 1500D
When the Remote Pendant Control is connected to the
power source, the Thickness Output Control on the
power source front panel is inoperative. The Remote
Pendant Control Thickness Output Control provides
complete control of the minimum to maximum output of
the power source.
B. For 1500D Models
When the Remote Pendant Control is connected to the
power source, the Thickness Output Control on the Re-
mote Pendant Control functions as a fine output adjust-
ment of the Thickness Output Control on the power
source front panel. For example, if the Thickness Out-
put Control on the power source is set at mid-point posi-
tion, the Remote Pendant Control will provide fine ad-
justment of one half of the power source output. If full re-
mote adjustment of the maximum output of the power
source is desired, the Thickness Output Control on the
power source must be set to the maximum position.
SECTION 5 – MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
5-1. MAINTENANCE
Usage and shop conditions will determine the frequency
and type of maintenance.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Do not touch live electrical parts.
Shut down power source, and disconnect in-
put power employing lockout/tagging proce-
dures before inspecting, maintaining, or serv-
icing.
Lockout/tagging procedures consist of pad-
locking line disconnect switch in open position,
removing fuses from fuse box, or shutting off
and red-tagging circuit breaker or other discon-
necting device.
1. Every six months inspect the Pendant intercon-
necting cord for damage to or breaks in the insu-
lation jacket. Repair or replace cord as
necessary.
2. Remove grease and grime from components;
moisture from electrical parts and cord.
OM-149 701 Page 6
5-2. TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Do not touch live electrical parts.
Shut down power source, and disconnect in-
put power employing lockout/tagging proce-
dures before inspecting, maintaining, trouble-
shooting, or servicing.
Lockout/tagging procedures consist of pad-
locking line disconnect switch in open position,
removing fuses from fuse box, or shutting off
and red-tagging circuit breaker or other discon-
necting device.
Troubleshooting to be performed only by quali-
fied persons.
It is assumed that the unit was installed properly accord-
ing to Section 3 of this manual, the operator is familiar
with the function of the controls, the power source was
working properly, and that the trouble is not related to
the cutting process. The following information is
supplied to diagnose and provide remedies for some of
the troubles that may develop in this unit. Check the
power source Owner’s Manual for possible problems
caused by power source malfunctions.
Use this information in conjunction with the circuit dia-
gram while performing troubleshooting procedures. If
the trouble is not remedied after performing these pro-
cedures, contact the nearest Factory Authorized Ser-
vice Station/Service Distributor. In all cases of equip-
ment malfunction, the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions should be strictly followed.
Problems with this unit fall into two categories: 1) front
panel components, or 2) the interconnecting cord and
connections.
If the controls do not function at all or improperly, the
connections may be loose or the cord may be damaged
internally, interrupting signals between the power
source and this unit. Check connections, and tighten if
applicable. Check continuity of cord, and replace if
necessary.
If everything on the remote control functions except for a
particular switch or potentiometer, the problem is most
likely an inoperative component. Replace the inopera-
tive component.
