0-30-0 Torch stuck open (Test 6)
The nozzle and electrode are
not touching after a start is
received.
On On
• If incorrect consumables are installed or
the consumables became loose or were
removed while the power supply is ON, turn
OFF the power supply, correct the problem
and then turn ON the power supply to clear
this fault.
• Inspect the torch for signs of wet or oily air.
• Inspect the torch for any signs of damage or
pitting on the electrode contact surface.
• If the consumables appear to be installed
correctly, the torch may be damaged. Test
with a known working torch.
• For a 0-30-1 fault code, place the unit in gas
test mode. Enter “manual mode”, move to
“G” (gas), and use the adjustment knob to
toggle to “1” (gas test mode). Ensure that
only the dump valve light is on during the
gas test. Toggle back to “0” and exit “manual
mode.” Replace the regulator if necessary.
• If the problem persists, contact your
Hypertherm distributor or authorized repair
facility.
0-30-1 Torch stuck closed (Test 6)
• The nozzle and electrode
will not separate after a
start is received.
• The regulator may not be
functioning properly.
0-40-0 PFC/Boost IGBT module
under temperature (Test 4)
On On
For an over-temperature fault, leave the
machine powered ON and confirm that the fan
is operating (Test 11). Ensure adequate air
flow around the unit.
If the duty cycle has been exceeded, let the
unit cool and work within the duty cycle limits
listed in the Operation section.
For an under-temperature (<-22°F or -30°C)
fault, move the unit to a warmer location.
The inverter temperature sensor is a thermistor
mounted on the heat sink beside the inverter
IGBT module. Its room temperature resistance
is about 10 kΩ.
