    What to do if the Hypertherm Water Pump shows Fault 1: Low Inlet Water Pressure?
    • A
      Amanda CummingsAug 19, 2025
      If the supply-water pressure is lower than 2.8 bar (280 kPa / 40 psi), increase the supply pressure. If pressure is lost because of a leak, identify the source of a leak and correct the problem. If the supply water is off, turn it on.

    What to do if Hypertherm Echion Water Pump shows Fault 2: Hydraulic Fluid Level is Low?
    • I
      Ian HarrisAug 21, 2025
      If the tank is full, replace the sensor. If a hydraulic fitting or a hydraulic hose is leaking, fix the leak. If the float switch in the hydraulic fluid tank monitors the fluid level, fix the leak. Check the low-pressure poppet if a poppet (high-pressure or low-pressure) is stuck or leaking.

    What to do if Hypertherm Water Pump shows Fault 2: Primary Motor?
    • N
      Nathaniel JoyceAug 23, 2025
      If the primary motor did not start, reset the relay. The relay can take several minutes to cool before resetting. If the motor is too hot, refer to Primary motor on page 117. If the soft starter sensed a fault, turn the primary breaker disconnect lever on the electrical enclosure door to OFF, then turn the primary breaker disconnect lever on the electrical enclosure door to ON. It can take several minutes for the system to reboot. If a fuse in the electrical enclosure has blown, replace the blown fuse.

    What to do if Hypertherm Echion Water Pump displays Warning: Boost Motor Warning: Fan Motor On?
    • M
      Matthew FlynnAug 26, 2025
      If the boost motor or the fan motor did not start because the thermal overload relay has tripped, reset the relay. Find the thermal overload relay on the motor starter. Turn the knob clockwise to the ON position (I). Release the knob. It snaps counterclockwise to the OFF position (O). Turn the knob clockwise to the ON position (I) again.

    Why is the Hypertherm Water Pump motor too hot?
    • C
      Carol AliAug 27, 2025
      If the motor is not cooling sufficiently, clean the air inlet. If the motor is being started too frequently, wait longer between stopping and starting the motor. If the motor bearing is too hot, lubricate the bearing.

    What causes Fault 1: Intensifier Overstroke in Hypertherm Water Pump?
    • J
      johnsonsusanAug 30, 2025
      If an overstroke fault occurs when the hydraulic piston travels faster than the pump can sustain, check the low-pressure poppet on the same side as the overstroke and the high-pressure poppet on the opposite end from the overstroke.

    What to do if Hypertherm Water Pump displays Warning: Start Procedure Hydraulics?
    • A
      angelamartinezSep 1, 2025
      If the cutting head is on, make sure that the cutting head is off. If the bleed-down valve is leaking, repair or replace the bleed-down valve. If the bleed-down valve is not receiving air, make sure that the compressed air supply is on. If the Hydraulics timer setting is too short, adjust the timer on the Start-procedure Timers screen.

    Why the intensifier does not stroke in Hypertherm Echion Water Pump?
    • D
      David BlackwellSep 3, 2025
      If the intensifier does not stroke because the intensifier control is off, turn intensifier control on. If the cutting head is off, turn on the cutting head. If a proximity switch has failed, replace the switch.

    Why is Hypertherm Echion leaking water from the intensifier?
    • J
      jeffreyedwardsSep 4, 2025
      If water leaks from the intensifier because a high-pressure water seal is damaged, replace the high-pressure seal.

    What to do if Hypertherm Water Pump shows Fault 2: Water Pressure Control Error?
    • G
      Gregory HendersonSep 7, 2025
      If the pump did not get to the target water pressure within the expected time, replace the component. If the hydraulic pressure transducer on the pump manifold has failed, replace the component. If the proportional valve has failed or the proportional valve coil has failed, replace the component. If the hydraulic pump has failed, replace the component. If the orifice has failed, check the condition of the orifice. Replace it, if necessary.
