Status Code Key for PAK 200
Cause/Remedy
External E-Stop Activated or CCM TB1-1&2 jumper missing;
Missing AC Phase; GCM200 control cable not connected.
Pilot did not start within 15 seconds.
Plasma pressure too high; Defective Arc Starter
Pilot went out without shutoff signal; Plasma pressure too high;
cut current set too low for consumables.
Arc transfer (>50 ms.) then arc lost with START still on. Standoff
too high; Current set too low.
Function not currently enabled.
Must transfer from Pilot to Cutting Arc in 85 ms. (SW8-1 OFF)
or 3 sec. (SW8-1 ON). Standoff too high or void in work under
torch; cut current too low for consumables; Plasma pressure
too low.
Detected tip voltage too close to electrode voltage. Plasma flow/
pressure too low; Plasma leak; cut current too high; shorted
torch body; consumable parts worn out.
Blown fuse, Broken or loose connection on power cable
Inverter(s) not configured correctly for input voltage;
Poor power quality (brownouts, dropouts);
Input power capacity / wiring too small causing voltage drop;
broken or loose power cable connections.
Failed fan; Ambient above 40 deg C. (104 F); Blocked airflow
Defective inverter
Output less than 60 VDC; Defective inverter, shorted output;
Shorted pilot regulator (chopper); CCM voltage sense (J6) wire
open or disconnected.
Over current detected in inverter primary circuit, remove power
to reset; defective inverter; voltage surge;
Current >20A in work or pilot leads before pilot ignition; Possible
shorted torch; Defective current sensor.
Current > 5A in pilot circuit; wrong or mismatched consumables;
Pilot lead shorted to negative in torch tube; Possible shorted
torch
Current > 5A in work lead; Short to chassis in RAS; Negative
lead short to gnd.
