CAPACITIVE HEIGHT CONTROL SETUP
This procedure should be done prior to using the Capacitive Height Control for the first time, and
then rechecked as necessary. Regular adjustments to the cutting height setting are a necessary
part of machine operation. The cutting height will need to be adjusted any time the material
condition changes, or as the sense feet wear.
1. Place a sheet of metal on the cutting table, and locate all oxy-fuel torch stations over the
material.
2. At the control console, turn on all oxy-fuel stations using the station select buttons on the
control console.
3. Press the GAS AHC button on the control console. The oxy-fuel torch stations should
begin to lower toward the plate.
4. At each station
Height Control
Box, turn the
Height Adjust
knob to set the
desired distance
from the plate.
This is a multiturn
potentiometer, so
it may take
several turns to
reach the desired
height.

5. Test for proper operation by touching the
sense foot to cause the station to run up
about two (2) inches. When released the
station should return to the desired height
as set in Step 4.
