Power supply internal
temperature is too hot or
too cold.
You can continue to use the system when its
internal temperature is no longer too hot or too
cold. Hypertherm recommends that you operate
the system only in external temperatures
between -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• Keep the plasma power supply ON to let
the fan decrease the temperature of the
internal components. Refer to Prevent
overheating on page 61.
• Make sure that there is sufficient air flow
around the plasma power supply.
• Make sure that the plasma power supply
cover is installed with the louvers in front of
the fan.
• If the internal temperature of the plasma
power supply gets near -30°C (-22°F),
move the system to a warmer location.

Torch not ready. This fault code stops the system from operating.
• This fault shows when you do a restart while
the torch-lock switch is in the yellow
lock (X) position. Move the torch-lock
switch to the green “ready to fire” ( )
position to continue.
• This fault also shows if the torch is
disconnected when you set the plasma
power supply to ON (I). Connect the torch
to the plasma power supply. Do a quick
restart (refer to page 90).
• This fault also shows when a cartridge is not
installed correctly. Remove the Hypertherm
cartridge and install it correctly.
• If the Hypertherm cartridge is in good
condition and is installed correctly, the torch
has possible damage. Speak to your
distributor or authorized repair facility.
