2.4 Connection to Mains

When plugging the power plug into the outlet, make sure that the power switch is set to “0”.

• Before connecting the machine to the mains, check the phase with a voltmeter. After making sure that phase is

correct, insert the plug into the socket.

• Start the machine by using the On/Off switch.

• The machine is ready to start after the MW symbol appears on the screen. (monoCUT 45ix)

• Turn the machine off by turning the switch back to the “0” position.

2.5 Connections for Plasma Cutting

Be careful during the cutting process and wear appropriate protective clothing and gloves.

2.5.1 Gas Connections

• If the gas source is in the workshop or gas cylinder, a gas regulator should be used and this regulator should be

able to supply gas to the air inlet on the machine.

• If a gas cylinder is used, secure the gas cylinder to prevent it from tipping over.

• In order to work safely and achieve the best results, use a regulator that complies with standards and make sure

the gas supply quality is up to the standards. Gas supply quality will affect cutting performance and

consumption quality.

• Protect the gas line from contaminants such as oil, dust, etc.

• Keep the gas cylinder valve open for a while to allow possible sediment and particles to be discharged.

• Connect the gas regulator to the gas cylinder, make sure that the screw thread on the gas outlet of the gas

cylinder and the nut of the regulator overlap.

• Connect one end of the tube hose to the gas regulator and the other end to the gas inlet at the back of the

It works with dry contact structure. The automation unit sends a warning to the plasma machine to operate

via the dry contact and the plasma creates a pilot arc. After the plasma machine creates a pilot arc, it sends a

warning to the automation unit with the dry contact structure. When the machine starts the cutting process,

it reports the plasma arc voltage for the automation interface to adjust the height.

after the gap, it is necessary to press and release the trigger again and start the pilot arc in

order to continue cutting. Grid cutting mode was created to be used on grid type materials.

A pilot arc occurs as soon as you press the torch trigger in the grid cutting and the material

is cut. It cuts the pilot arc when the gap is reached, and activates the pilot arc when it arrives

to the material part again. This cycle continues until you release the trigger.

The cutting process ends as soon as you release the trigger.

Pilot arc occurs as soon as you press the trigger in this mode. You can take your hand off the

trigger and continue the cutting process once you have started the cutting process.
