Spirit II User’s Manual Section 1: Safety
Ultraviolet Radiation Protection
Noise Protection
Section 1: Safety
General Precautions
Whereas plasma cutting has been used safely for years, it does require certain
precautions to ensure the safety of the operator and other people around the
equipment. The following safety information must be provided to each person who will
operate, observe, perform maintenance, or work in close proximity to this piece of
equipment.
Installation, operation, and repairs made to the Spirit system should only be performed
by qualified personnel. The system makes use of both A.C. and D.C. circuitry for
operation. Fatal shock hazard does exist. Exercise extreme caution while working
on the system.
Plasma cutting produces ultraviolet radiation similar to a welding arc. This ultraviolet
radiation can cause skin and eye burns. For this reason, it is essential that proper
protection be worn. The eyes are best protected by using safety glasses or a welding
helmet with an AWS No. 12 shade or ISO 4850 No. 13 shade, which provides protection
up to 400 amperes. All exposed skin areas should be covered with flame-retardant
clothing. The cutting area should also be prepared in such a way that ultraviolet light
does not reflect. Walls and other surfaces should be painted with dark colors to reduce
reflected light. Protective screens or curtains should be installed to protect additional
workers in the area from ultraviolet radiation.
The system generates high noise levels while cutting. Depending on the size of the
cutting area, distance from the cutting torch, and arc current cutting level, acceptable
noise levels may be exceeded. Proper ear protection should be used as defined by
local or national codes. See Section 2 for noise emission levels.
This information is subject to the controls of the Export Administration Regulations [EAR]. This information shall not be provided to
non-U.S. persons or transferred by any means to any location outside the United States contrary to the requirements of the EAR.

Section 1: Safety Spirit II User’s Manual
Toxic Fume Prevention
Electric Shock Prevention
Care should be taken to ensure adequate ventilation in the cutting area. Some
materials give off toxic fumes that can be harmful or fatal to people in the vicinity of the
cutting area. Also, some solvents decompose and form harmful gases when exposed
to ultraviolet radiation. These solvents should be removed from the area prior to cutting.
Galvanized metal can produce harmful gases during the cutting process. Ensure proper
ventilation and use breathing equipment when cutting these materials.
Certain metals coated with or containing lead, cadmium, zinc, beryllium, and mercury
produce harmful toxins. Do not cut these metals unless all people subjected to the
fumes wear proper air breathing equipment.
The Spirit system uses high open circuit voltages that can be fatal. Extreme care
should be used when operating or performing maintenance on the system. Only
qualified personnel should service the system. Observe the following guidelines to
protect against electric shock:
• A wall-mounted disconnect switch should be installed and fused according to local
and national electrical codes. The disconnect switch should be located as close as
possible to the power supply so it can be turned off in case of an emergency.
• The primary power cord should have a 600 volt minimum rating in order to protect
the operator. In addition, it should be sized according to local and national electrical
codes. Inspect the primary power cord frequently. Never operate the system if the
power cord is damaged in any way.
• Make sure the primary power ground wire is connected to the input power ground
stud on the power supply. Make sure the connection is securely tightened.
• Make sure the positive output (work ground) of the power supply is connected to a
bare metal area on the cutting table. A driven ground rod should be placed no
further than five feet from this connection. Make sure this ground point on the
cutting table is used as the star ground point for all other ground connections.
• Inspect the torch leads frequently. Never use the system if the leads are damaged
in any way.
• Do not stand in wet, damp areas when operating or performing maintenance on the
system.
• Wear insulated gloves and shoes while operating or performing maintenance on the
system.
• Make sure the system is switched off at the wall disconnect before servicing the
power supply or torch.

Spirit II User’s Manual Section 1: Safety
Fire Prevention
Explosion Prevention
• Never change torch consumable parts unless the system is switched off at the wall
disconnect.
• Do not attempt to remove any parts from beneath the torch when cutting.
Remember that the workpiece forms the current path back to the power supply.
• Never bypass the safety interlock devices.
• Before removing any of the covers, switch the system off at the wall disconnect.
Wait at least five (5) minutes before removing any cover. This will give the
capacitors inside the unit time to discharge. See Section 6 for additional safety
precautions.
• Never operate the system without all of the covers in place. See Section 6 for
additional safety precautions.
• Preventive maintenance should be performed daily to avoid possible safety hazards.
When using the Spirit system, it is necessary to exercise good judgment. While cutting,
the arc produces sparks that could cause a fire if they fall on flammable materials.
Make sure that all flammable materials are a suitable distance away from the cutting
area. All flammable liquids should be at least 40 feet away from the cutting area,
preferably stored in a metal cabinet. Plasma cutting should never be attempted on
containers that contain flammable materials. Make sure that fire extinguishers are
readily accessible in the cutting area.
Make sure that the cutting area is properly ventilated when using oxygen as a cutting
gas.
The Spirit system uses compressed gases. Use proper techniques when handling
compressed gas cylinders and other compressed gas equipment. Observe the
following guidelines to protect against explosion:
• Never operate the system in the presence of explosive gases or other explosive
materials.
• Never cut pressurized cylinders or any closed container.
• When using a water table and cutting aluminum under water or with water touching
the underside of the aluminum plate, hydrogen gas is produced. This hydrogen gas
may collect under the plate and explode during the cutting process. Make sure the
water table is properly aerated to help prevent the accumulation of hydrogen gas.
• Handle all gas cylinders in accordance with safety standards published by the U.S.
Compressed Gas Association (CGA), American Welding Society (AWS), Canadian
Standards Association (CSA), or other local or national codes.

Section 1: Safety Spirit II User’s Manual
Health Support Equipment
• Compressed gas cylinders should be maintained properly. Never attempt to use a
cylinder that is leaking, cracked, or has other signs of physical damage.
• All gas cylinders should be secured to a wall or rack to prevent accidental knock
over.
• If a compressed gas cylinder is not being used, replace the protective valve cover.
• Never attempt to repair compressed gas cylinders.
• Keep compressed gas cylinders away from intense heat, sparks, or flames.
• Clear the compressed gas cylinder connection point by opening the valve
momentarily prior to installing a regulator.
• Never lubricate compressed gas cylinder valves or pressure regulators with any type
of oil or grease.
• Never use a compressed gas cylinder or pressure regulator for any purpose other
than which it is intended.
• Never use a pressure regulator for any gas other than which it is intended.
• Never use a pressure regulator that is leaking or has other signs of physical
damage.
• Never use oxygen hoses and pressure regulators for any gas other than oxygen.
• Never use any gas hose that is leaking or has other signs of physical damage.
The Spirit system creates electric and magnetic fields that may interfere with certain
types of health support equipment, such as pacemakers. Any person who uses a
pacemaker or similar item should consult a doctor before operating, observing,
maintaining, or servicing the system. Observe the following guidelines to minimize
exposure to these electric and magnetic fields:
• Stay as far away from the power supply, torch, torch leads, and impulse start
console as possible.
• Route the torch leads as close as possible to the work ground cable.
• Never place your body between the torch leads and work ground cable. Keep the
work ground cable and the torch leads on the same side of your body.
• Never stand in the center of a coiled up set of torch leads or work ground cable.

Spirit II User’s Manual Section 2: Specifications
Section 2: Specifications
System Description
The Spirit II 275 is a 275 amp microprocessor controlled, 100% duty cycle high current
density plasma cutting and marking system. It utilizes a precision, dual gas torch that is
capable of cutting mild steel up to 2" thick and stainless steel up to 1-1/2” thick.
The system contains a computer controlled automatic gas console with a touch screen
interface (plasma console). All cutting parameters are controlled through the plasma
console. Setting up a cut is as simple as selecting the material type, material thickness,
and process (cutting or marking). All gas types and pressures are set automatically.
The operator can easily view pictures and part numbers of the torch consumables.
Another screen shows the recommended cutting speed and torch height for making the
cut. These parameters can be transmitted to an X/Y machine controller or an arc
voltage control system via RS-422 serial communication. The RS-422 port also allows
for full control of the cutting parameters from an x/y machine controller. The system
keeps a detailed record of errors that may have occurred during the cutting sequence.
Additionally, systems utilizing the automatic gas console can use argon for marking,
which produces improved mark quality.
For cutting mild steel, the system uses oxygen for the plasma gas and either oxygen or
air for the shielding gas. When cutting stainless steel or other non-ferrous materials, air
or H17 (17.5% hydrogen, 32.5% argon, 50% nitrogen) is used for the plasma gas and
either air or nitrogen is used for the shielding gas. Oxygen and nitrogen are used for
the preflow and postflow gases.
The torch is water-cooled and consumables are machined to exacting dimensions and
checked with the latest computerized measuring systems. Eight nozzle sizes (30, 50,
70, 100, 150, 200, 260, and 275 amps) are available to produce excellent cut quality
throughout the cutting range.
Each enclosure in the system is rated for IP21S sealing, which is intended for
indoor use only. The system is not suitable for use in rain or snow.

Torch Coolant Specifications
Note: Refer to the supplier’s most current Material Safety Data Sheet for
information regarding safety, handling, and storage of torch coolant.
The Spirit system is shipped without torch coolant in the reservoir. Coolant
must be added before applying power to the system. Only use Kaliburn
approved torch coolant solution for optimal system performance as commercially
available antifreeze contains corrosion inhibitors that will damage the cooling
system. The standard coolant solution consists of 25% industrial grade
propylene glycol and provides freezing protection down to -13º C (9º F). The
standard solution can be ordered in one-gallon containers, PN 500695. For
operating temperatures below -13º C, a 50% solution of industrial grade
propylene glycol can be ordered in one-gallon containers, PN 500895, providing
protection down to -36º C (-33º F).
Failure to use the proper propylene glycol solution may result in cooling
system and/or torch damage.
The torch coolant should be flushed out of the Spirit system every six months
and replaced with new coolant. The coolant filter / deionization cartridge should
also be changed at the same time. See Section 6 for details.

A potential fire hazard exists when cutting with oxygen. KALIBURN recommends
that an exhaust ventilation system be used when cutting with oxygen. Flashback
arrestors must be supplied (unless they are not available for the chosen gases
and pressures) to prevent a possible fire from propagating back to the gas
supplies.
Ensure that oxygen lines remain free from contaminants such as oil and grease. The
mixture of such contaminants with oxygen presents an additional fire hazard.
Compressed air must be clean, dry, and oil-free and may be supplied from compressed
cylinders or from an air compressor. Be aware that shop air systems are prone to oil
and moisture contamination. If shop air is used, it must be cleaned to ISO 8573.1:
Class 1.4.1. Specify dry air when using compressed cylinders. Breathing quality air
contains moisture and must not be used.
3/8” (inside diameter) hoses are required for all inlet gas connections. Mating
connectors are supplied with the unit. Quick-connect fittings must not be used.

Section 3: Installation
Initial Inspection
All systems undergo full testing before being shipped from Kaliburn. In the unlikely
event that one of the components is defective or missing, please contact Kaliburn so a
replacement item can be sent. Also, Kaliburn has taken special care in packaging the
system. If the system was damaged during shipment, file a claim with the shipping
company, and then contact Kaliburn to order replacement parts.
Component Placement
Plasma Power Supply
The power supply should be lifted by a forklift or pallet jack. In order to prevent
damaging the power supply, the forks should be of adequate length to protrude on the
far side of the power supply. The proper location of the power supply will provide
dependable service and reduce periodic maintenance time. Choose a location that will
provide unrestricted air movement into and out of the power supply. Maintain at least
24 inches of space on all sides of the unit. The location should subject the power
supply to the least amount of dust, dirt, moisture, and corrosive vapors. The surface on
which the power supply is located should have a grade of no greater than 10º to
eliminate the risk of toppling over. The power supply must be cleaned as often as
necessary to prevent the accumulation of metallic dust inside the unit. See Section 2
for unit dimensions.
Automatic Gas Console (AGC)
The AGC is usually mounted on the gantry of the cutting machine. See Section 2 for
mounting dimensions.
Plasma Console
The plasma console should be mounted near the CNC controller so that it is easy
accessible by the operator. See Section 2 for mounting dimensions.
Impulse Start Console (ISC)
The ISC should be mounted in a convenient location that is away from other electronic
control devices. The ISC offers significantly reduced emissions compared to traditional
high frequency, however, the high voltage pulse generated inside the unit may interfere
with the operation of certain control electronics. The ISC is usually mounted on the
gantry of the cutting machine or on the cutting table. See Section 2 for mounting
dimensions.
5-Gang Manifold
The 5-gang manifold assembly must be mounted within 6 feet (1.8 m) of the torch. See
Section 2 for mounting dimensions.

non-U.S. persons or transferred by any means to any location outside the United States contrary to the requirements of the EAR.
3-1
Section 3: Installation Spirit II User’s Manual
2-Gang Manifold
The 2-gang manifold assembly must be mounted to the torch. See Section 2 for
mounting dimensions.
Torch
The torch must be installed on the positioner of an arc voltage control (height control)
capable of maintaining the cutting arc voltage within 1 arc volt. The arc voltage must be
adjustable in 1 arc volt increments. The positioner must be rigid to ensure cut quality
and a torch collision sensor is highly recommended. See Section 2 for mounting
dimensions.
System Interconnection
The Spirit II system interconnection diagrams on the following pages will assist in the
planning and installation of the system as well as identifying cables and hoses upon
receipt.
The optional Inova torch height control is also shown to assist with its connections,
whether as an external console or internal to the plasma power supply.

Power Supply Primary Power Connections
** Before connecting primary power, check the data plate
on the power supply to verify the voltage required **
A primary disconnect switch, switching all ungrounded supply conductors, should be
provided for each Spirit system. The disconnect switch should be located as close as
possible to the power supply so it can be turned off quickly in case of an emergency.
The disconnect switch should be equipped with time delay fuses only. The
magnetic inrush current of the power supply will cause fast acting fuses to blow. The
disconnect switch should be sized according to local and national codes. The rating
must meet or exceed the continuous rating of the fuses used. See the following chart
for recommended fuse sizes:
3 Phase
Input Voltage (VAC)
at Maximum
Time-Delay Fuse
Connection to the supply circuit can be by means of flexible supply cables or supply
cables through conduit to a permanent installation. The supply cables should have a
600 volt minimum rating and should be sized according to local and national codes.
Route flexible supply cables through the strain relief on the back of the power supply
and connect to the input terminal block TB5 as shown. For supply cables through
conduit, install the conduit in place of the strain relief and connect the associated supply
cables to the input terminal block TB5. See Figure 3 on the next page.
TB5 is located on the rear of the power supply and is accessible with the right-side
cover removed. Be sure to connect the primary ground cable to the ground stud
on the input terminal block.
Under no circumstances are the supply cables to be routed through the opening in the
power supply cabinet without conduit or an appropriate strain relief as per local and
national codes.
