from the plasma system
remained active at the end
of the cut and remained on
longer than a reasonable
amount of time.

Possible Causes
A faulty or loose
connection to the plasma
system transfer (or motion
output).
A damaged plasma
interface cable.
In discrete systems, a
Faulty Transfer input to the
control module.
Faulty Plasma Start output
on plasma interface PCB
or control module.
The Retract Height
parameter is set too low or
too high.
Gain settings in the control
module are set incorrectly.
A mechanical bind is
preventing the torch from
moving to the retract
height position.
A mechanical loose
connection in the lifter
is preventing the torch
from moving to the retract
height position.
Corrective action
Check for loose or damaged cables between the
control module, the plasma interface board, and the
control board of the plasma system.
In a discrete system, check the Plasma Start output
from the control module.
Check the Plasma Start output from the plasma
interface board to the plasma system control module.
Check the transfer output on the plasma system
control board. If the plasma arc actually extinguishes,
check the transfer current sensor in the plasma
system.
Verify that the retract height is set correctly in the
CNC or in the control module.
Check the lifter for mechanical binding or slipping of
the drive mechanism.
Check the gain settings in the EDGE Pro or in control
module. See ArcGlide Setup Parameters in the
Installation section.
