Cold restarts and quick restarts
To restart the plasma power supply, set the power switch
on the plasma power supply to OFF (O) and then set the
power switch to ON (I).
In some conditions, it is possible that you will be asked
specifically to do a “cold restart” or a “quick restart.”
Do a cold restart
1. Set the power switch on the plasma power supply to OFF (O).
2. Wait until all the amperage LEDs on the SmartSYNC hand torch go off. If you are using a
machine torch, wait approximately 1 minute.
3. Set the power switch on the plasma power supply to ON (I).
Do a quick restart
1. Set the power switch on the plasma power supply to OFF (O).
2. Immediately set the power switch on the plasma power supply to ON (I).
If a fault occurs while you are using a generator, a quick restart does not
always remove the fault. Do a cold restart instead.
The system changes the
output current (A) or the
operating mode after I set
them.
• Set the torch-lock switch to the “ready to fire” ( ) position before you
adjust the amperage or operating mode. The system does not keep those
settings while the torch-lock switch is in the yellow lock (X) position. When
you set the torch-lock switch to the “ready to fire” ( ) position, the system
automatically sets the amperage and operating mode to match the type of
cartridge installed on the torch. Refer to page 72.
The LCD screen shows a
FACTORY R ESET?
message when I try to go
to the service screens.
•The FACTORY RES ET? message shows when you push and hold
and for approximately 2 seconds. The Cancel button is
selected by default. Push to cancel the reset and go back to the
screen you were on without making changes. Refer to page 152 for more
information.
• To go to the service screens, push and hold for 2 seconds. Refer to
