PCB10 is the analog signal scaling board. If 115VAC is fed into P1-2 and P1-3 the output current range is in the high mode
used for cutting from 50 to 450A. With the 115VAC absent, the output current range is in the low mode used for marking
between 10 and 100A and cutting between 35 and 100A.
The Control PC Board contains two inputs for V
the High Speed input (P8-3), the EPP-450 will respond to a change in V
is fed into the Low Speed input (P8-1), the EPP-450 will respond to a change in V
the "Normal" input helps filter electrical noise sometimes encountered in industrial environments.
