Machine interface cable signals
Refer to the following table for the cable signal details when connecting the power supply to a torch
height controller or CNC controller with a machine interface cable.
Set the 5-position voltage divider
To change the factory preset voltage divider from 50:1 to a different setting:
1. Turn O F F (O) the power supply and disconnect the power cord.
2. Remove the power supply cover.
3. Locate the voltage divider DIP switches on the fan side of the power supply.
