4.03 CCM Status Codes
On start-up and during operation, the power supply control circuitry performs various tests. If the circuitry detects a condition
requiring operator attention, the status display on the front panel shows a 3 digit number code preceded by either letter "E"
(currently active fault) or letter "L" (last or latched fault) meaning a fault occurred during the process but is not currently active.
Some conditions can be active indefinitely, while others are momentary. The power supply latches momentary conditions; some
momentary conditions can shut down the system. The indicator may show multiple conditions in sequence; it is important to
recognize all possible conditions that may be displayed.
NOTE!
These tables cover units up to 400A, Lower current units won't have all the inverter
sections referred to in Group 2. Codes for those sections should not appear.

CCM Status Code
Group 1 -- Plasma Process
Plasma Enable Off; Disable activated ON or external SW disabled (CNC); CCM TB1-1
& 2 jumper missing; 40 circuit ribbon cable from Relay PCB to CCM disconnected or
defective;
Pilot did not start within 15 seconds. Torch consumable parts worn? Ensure cor-
rect process selected or manual setting including current control setting matches
consumables; Plasma pressure too high; Defective Arc Starter; Defective Pilot PCB;
Defective Inverter section 1A. Ribbon cables reversed on INV1 sections 1A and 1B.
Pilot went out while Start active. Torch consumable parts worn? Ensure cut process
or current control setting matches consumables; Plasma pressure too high;
Arc was transferred to work then went out while Start still active. Arc lost contact
with work (run off edge, over hole, etc.); Standoff too high; Ensure cut process or
manual settings (current control, gas pressures) matches consumables;
Reserved for legacy product
Must transfer from Pilot to Cutting Arc in 0.085 seconds (SW8-1 OFF) or 3 sec.
(SW8-1 ON). Standoff too high or void in work under torch; Wrong cut process se-
lected or wrong manual settings (current control set too low or wrong gas pressure).
Tip remained in contact with work in excess of 15 seconds.
Tip voltage too close to electrode voltage; Torch consumable parts worn out; Wrong
consumables installed causing tip to electrode short; Wrong process selected or
wrong manual setting of plasma gas or cutting current; Leak in Plasma hose to
torch; Defective Pilot PCB; Shorted torch body.
Applies only to Automatic Gas Control. Select and load a cutting process.
Automatic Gas Control: Process loading; wait until finished
