E. Coolant Level and Conductivity
1. Coolant Level
The coolant level should be checked every day at
the rear panel coolant gauge. If the coolant in the
reservoir is more than 2 inches (50 mm) from the
top of the reservoir then add Torch Coolant.
2. Coolant Conductivity
The coolant conductivity level should be checked
if the pilot doesn't start.
Check the condition of the deionizer bag in the
reservoir basket, if the bag is yellowish brown
(straw color) replace the bag and coolant (see
NOTE).
NOTE
To accurately measure the coolant conductivity it
is recommended to use a Conductivity Sensor such
as Thermal Dynamics Model TDS-73 (Catalog #
7-2844).
F. Draining and Replacing Coolant
Remove the old coolant from the Power Supply reservoir
per the following procedure:
1. Remove the right side panel from the Power Sup-
ply.
2. Disconnect the coolant input hose to the Coolant
Filter Assembly.
3. Carefully lower the hose out the right side of the
Power Supply and drain the coolant into an ac-
ceptable container.
CAUTION
Handle and dispose of the used coolant per recom-
mended procedures.

5.03 Common Operating Faults
Listed below are common cutting problems followed by
probable causes of each. If the problems are caused by a
torch problem, refer to the appropriate Torch Manual.
1. Insufficient Penetration

b. Torch tilted too much
c. Incorrect Gas Settings
d. Metal too thick
e. Worn torch parts
f. Cutting current too low
g. Non-Genuine Thermal Dynamics Parts
