Sensor™ THC 383
Voltage Control
This setup parameter allows the operator to select the Sensor THC to operate in Manual or Automatic
mode. Manual mode will disable the torch height control, allowing the torch to cut at the specified cut
height and voltage. Automatic mode allows the THC to command the torch up and down to maintain
the voltage at the specified arc voltage set point.
Ignition Output
Enables use of the Ignition Output for use in igniting the plasma torch. If your plasma system requires
a separate ignition signal, toggle Ignition to ON. If not, leave Ignition OFF.
Voltage Tracking Range
The Voltage Tracking Range parameter specifies the allowable variation in arc voltage from the
setpoint. If the arc voltage should go above or fall below this allowable range, the system will fault
and pause cutting.
IHS in Manual
The IHS in Manual setup parameter allows the operator to select whether or not to use the Initial
Height Sense feature when operating the Sensor THC in manual mode.
Retract Full/Partial
Selects the retract distance to be set at Full or Partial. In the Full retract mode, the torch will retract to
the Home position. In Partial retract mode, the torch will retract to the set retract distance.
Partial Retract Distance
This setup parameter is used to select the THC Retract Distance when configured for partial retract
mode.
Start IHS Distance
The Start IHS Distance specifies the distance of travel for the THC to move the torch at high speed
before switching to low speed and beginning Initial Height Sense. Caution should be taken when
selecting this distance so that the torch does not crash into the plate.
Skip IHS Within
The Skip IHS Within feature is used to disable Initial Height Sense at pierce points if it falls within the
selected distance to increase cutting productivity. The distance is measured from the end point of the
cut segment to the next pierce point. If this distance falls within the selected Skip IHS Within
distance, no IHS will take place.
Preflow During IHS
Selecting ON will activate Preflow during the IHS cycle.
Early Preflow if Skip IHS
Selecting ON will activate Preflow during the traverse prior to the pierce while the skip IHS feature is
used.
