Connect the machine interface cable
To connect a machine interface cable to this system, a factory-installed (or user-installed) CPC port
with 5-position voltage divider must be installed. The voltage divider provides a scaled down arc
voltage of 20:1, 21.1:1, 30:1, 40:1, or 50:1 (maximum output of 16 V). The CPC port on the rear of
the power supply provides access to the scaled down arc voltage and signals for arc transfer and
plasma start.

The factory presets the voltage divider to 50:1. To change the voltage
divider to a different setting, see page 101.
Hypertherm offers several choices of external machine interface cables.
External cables that do not use voltage divider board
To use signals for arc transfer and plasma start only, use one of the following cables:
 023206 (7.5 m, 25 feet)
 023279 (15 m, 50 feet)
These cables end in wires that are terminated with spade connectors.
CAUTION
The internal voltage divider provides a maximum of 16 V under open circuit conditions. This is an
impedance-protected functional extra low voltage (ELV) output to prevent shock, energy, and fire
under normal conditions at the machine interface receptacle and under single fault conditions
with the machine interface wiring. The voltage divider is not fault tolerant, and ELV outputs do
not comply with safety extra low voltage (SELV) requirements for direct connection to computer
products.
