SeCTION 2 DeSCrIPTION Description These instructions provide installation, operation, service and parts information for the PCC-10 Plasma Coolant Circulator. This unit recirculates coolant to cool electric arc cutting and welding equipment. Specifications Dimensions: 35.69" high (906 mm) x 21.75" wide (552 mm) x 25.00 deep (635 mm) Weight: 215 lb.
INSTAllATION Installation Install the PCC-10 in an appropriate location so as to maintain adequate and unrestricted airflow into and out of the cabinetry. For permanent mounting refer to Figure 3.1 for mounting hole dimensions in the base of this unit.
SeCTION 3 INSTAllATION Input Power Connections If the power cable supplied with the circulator is missing, a 3-conductor power cable suitable to meet the re- quired input power must be installed. The cable must have 0.25" (6.4 mm) ring lugs installed on the machine end.

Control Connections An 8-pin receptacle J1 is provided on the rear panel to supply the PCC-10 with 115 Vac control voltage for pump motor contactor control. The PCC-10 must be supplied with this control voltage in order for the pump to operate.
Page 23
SeCTION 3 INSTAllATION After filling the reservoir to the MAX mark, located on the front panel, run the pump with its cap removed in order to purge air from the radiator, hoses, and torch. Re-check coolant level to ensure reservoir is filled to MAX mark.
SeCTION 3 INSTAllATION Pump Pressure Adjustment Pump pressure is pre-set at the factory for 130 psi (9 bar), output coolant pressure may be adjusted by opening or closing the by-pass valve on the pump. The by-pass valve adjustment screw is located under the large acorn nut on the pump body.
2. Periodically check the coolant pressure and flow through the system. 3. Periodically inspect the radiators for build-up of airborne dust or other residues that may hinder the cooling capacity of the PCC-10. 4. When tightening fittings, use wrench on both male and female fittings to prevent damage to fittings or plumbing.
3. Fill PCC-10 with Plasmarc torch coolant. 4. Power on the PCC-10. 5. Adjust throttle valve until test pressure gauge reads 125 psig (8.6 bar). Gauge on PCC-10 should agree within +/- 10 psig (.69 bar). 6. Read flow on test flowmeter. Reading should be at least 1.5 GPM.
