Before performing any tests do the Internal inspection and the Resistance check in Test 2 below. These tests should
only be performed by a qualified service technician. Wear the proper personal protective equipment and use approved
tools and measurement equipment.
Before purchasing a major replacement component, verify the problem with Hypertherm Technical Service (1-800-643-
9878) or the nearest Hypertherm repair facility.
Several connectors require you to remove a white cap to access the test points. The figure below shows examples
of connectors located at the top of the power board. You can pry off most covers with your thumbnail. However, you
may need to use a small blade screwdriver to carefully pry off some of the covers. Be careful not to bend or break the
connectors.
