What to do if the power ON LED is illuminated and the gas pressure LED is illuminated yellow on my Hypertherm Cutter?
First, turn the amperage knob to the gas test position, then unlock the pressure regulator by pulling up on the knob. Turn it to adjust the pressure, and push it down to lock it. Also, verify that the gas supply line is connected to the power supply and the gas is turned on. Finally, inspect the gas supply line for leaks and verify the incoming gas pressure.
What to do if the power ON LED is illuminated and the torch cap LED is illuminated on Hypertherm Cutter?
Turn OFF the power supply and verify that there are consumables installed. If you have just installed the consumables, verify that the consumables are only finger-tight; loosen them 1/8th of a turn and then restart the power supply. If the consumables appear to be installed correctly, the torch may be damaged.
What does it mean if the power ON LED is blinking on my Hypertherm Cutter?
A blinking power ON LED indicates that the input line voltage is either too high or too low, specifically a variance greater than ±15% of the rated voltage. Have an electrical technician check the incoming power.
What to do if the power ON LED is illuminated and the torch cap LED blinks on Hypertherm Cutter?
If 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. If the consumables appear to be installed correctly, the torch may be damaged.
