Solutions
These fault codes stop the torch from firing a
plasma arc. In some conditions, you can fire the
torch again and continue to cut.
If the fault occurred when you first installed
the cartridge and tried to fire the torch, do
the following:
• If the Hypertherm cartridge became loose
or was removed while the plasma power
supply was ON and the torch-lock switch
was set to the green "ready to fire"
position (
), set the power switch on the
plasma power supply to OFF (O), correct
the problem, and set the power switch to
ON (I) to remove the fault.
• Examine the Hypertherm cartridge. Make
sure that it is not worn or damaged. Refer to
Signs that a cartridge is near end-of-life
page 74 and
Cartridge maintenance
page 118.
• Hand torch: Move the torch-lock switch to
the yellow lock (X) position, then move the
torch-lock switch to the green "ready to
fire" (
) position. Fire the torch 1 time to
get the warning puffs of air. This can clean
away unwanted material that has collected
around the tip of the cartridge.
• Remove the cartridge and carefully shake it
to remove unwanted material that has
collected inside the cartridge.
• Install a new Hypertherm cartridge.
If the fault occurred during postflow or
during a cut, do the following:
• Examine the gas line. Refer to
gas pressure
on page 91 and
gas quality
on page 92.
• Examine the torch for damage and for
conditions that can prevent correct gas
flow. Refer to
Troubleshoot torch stuck open
(TSO) fault codes that occur during
postflow
on page 112.
