There is a problem with the
cartridge installation.
This fault shows when you install a cartridge,
and it cannot send data to the plasma power
supply. This fault code stops the system from
operating.
Do one of the following:
• Set the torch-lock switch to the yellow
lock (X) position and then back to the green
“ready to fire” ( ) position.
•Do a quick restart.
• Install the cartridge again.
Electrical noise can cause a bad data
connection. For example, high frequency
electrical noise from TIG welders can cause
interference. Keep electrical noise in the work
area as low as possible.
If you do not remove this fault code, the system
automatically adjusts the following settings to
prevent possible damage to the workpiece and
cartridge:
• It sets the output current to 45 A.
• It sets the operating mode to Cut mode.
• It sets the output gas pressure to cut
pressure. The system adjusts the pressure
even if the system is in manual gas pressure
mode when the fault occurs.
If necessary, you can manually change these
settings to cut without a data connection. To
prevent the system from adjusting these settings
when communication with the cartridge is
broken, put the system in basic mode. Refer to
Smart mode versus basic mode on page 155.

The cartridge is not
recognized.
This fault shows when a cartridge cannot send
data to the plasma power supply for some
reason. This fault code does not stop the system
from operating.
• When this fault occurs, you can continue to
cut or gouge, but you must set the output
current (A) and the operating mode
manually. Also, the system cannot collect
data about the Hypertherm cartridge.
• Lightly blow air into the cartridge to remove
all dust or other contamination. Install the
cartridge again.
• Make sure that the
green ring inside the
cartridge is not broken.
