Description
The torch is not connected. This fault code stops the system from operating.
None
An radio frequency (RF)
communication failure
occurred between the
cartridge and the torch.
When this fault occurs, the
Hypertherm cartridge is not
sending data to the system,
Yellow
so the system cannot
collect data about the
cartridge. The problem can
be with the Hypertherm
cartridge or with the
SmartSYNC torch.

Solutions
Do the following. A quick restart is necessary.
• Make sure that the torch lead is correctly
connected to the FastConnect receptacle
on the front of the plasma power supply. Do
a quick restart.
• If you disconnect the torch while the plasma
power supply is set to ON (I), you get the
0-52-0 fault code.
• If you disconnect the torch while the plasma
power supply is set to OFF (O), you get the
0-50-0 fault code the next time you set the
plasma power supply to ON (I).
This fault code does not stop the system from
operating.
You can continue to cut or gouge, but you must
set the output current (A) and the operating
mode manually.
Cartridge:
• Make sure that the Hypertherm cartridge is
installed correctly.
• Make sure that the
green ring inside the
cartridge is not broken.
• If you have a
Hypertherm cartridge
reader (528083), do a
test to identify if the
reader can pull data from the cartridge.
• Install a new Hypertherm cartridge.
Torch:
• If a new Hypertherm cartridge does not
remove the fault condition, a component in
the SmartSYNC torch has possible
damage. A qualified service technician must
examine the torch. Speak to your distributor
or authorized repair facility.
