4. Optional: Connect the plasma power supply to your CNC using the RS-485 serial interface
connection.
 To use the optional RS-485 serial interface, make sure your plasma system is equipped
with a factory-installed (or user-installed) RS-485 serial interface port. See page 103.
 The RS-485 serial interface provides added capabilities for controlling the plasma
system from the CNC, but it cannot be used to fire the torch.
5. Attach the torch to the table or other cutting equipment per the manufacturer’s instructions. See
page 89 for additional information.
6. Install the correct cutting, gouging, or marking consumables for your application:
 Cutting and piercing with a machine torch: See Choose the consumables on
page 105.
 Gouging: See Gouging processes on page 71.
 Marking: See Marking consumables (10 – 25 A) on page 113.
7. Select Cut mode or Gouge/Marking mode on the front panel of the plasma power supply to
match the consumables you installed. See Cutting controls on page 42.
8. Adjust the torch speed and output current (amperage) as needed. See the cut charts starting on
page 121.
Connect the remote-start pendant
Powermax45 XP configurations with a Duramax Lock machine torch can include an optional
remote-start pendant.
The remote-start pendant enables you to
remotely start and stop the machine
torch. For example, use it when you
mount the torch on a simple track burner
or cutting guide that does not have its
own CNC or other controller.
To use the Hypertherm remote-start
pendant, plug it into the CPC port on the
rear of the power supply.

The remote-start pendant is
for use only with a machine
torch. It will not operate if a
hand torch is installed.
