Requirements for shield water removal for freezing-ambient temperatures
If your XPR cutting system uses shield water and is stored in ambient temperatures at or below
0ºC (32ºF), Hypertherm recommends shield water removal.
Follow these steps to remove shield water from the gas connect console (VWI or OptiMix):
1. Remove the shield water supply line to the gas connect console.
2. Access a source of compressed air that is clean and dry. Use a regulator to adjust the
compressed air to 5.52 bar (80 psi).
3. Connect the compressed air hose to the water inlet on the gas connect console.

The air hose needs to adapt to a JIC 6 male fitting on the gas connect
console.
4. Use the XPR web interface or CNC to select a process ID for a water process (such as 2028).
5. Select Preflow from the Plasma Process Selection menu.

During preflow, water mist will exit the torch nozzle for approximately 45 –
50 seconds.
6. Repeat step 5 until shield water mist is no longer visible exiting the torch nozzle.

It can take 7 – 10 preflow cycles for the shield water mist to stop.
