The cartridge is off, the torch
was disconnected, or the
torch was in the yellow
lock (X) position during a
restart.
This fault code stops the system from operating.
Do the following.
• This fault code 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. Refer to fault code
0-50-1 below.
• This fault code 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.
• This fault code also shows when a cartridge
is not installed correctly. Remove the
Hypertherm cartridge and install it correctly.
• Machine torch: This fault code shows when
you remove the cartridge without first
setting the power switch to OFF (O) or
moving the torch-lock switch to the yellow
lock (X) position. Lock and unlock the torch,
or do a quick restart.
• Mini machine torch: This fault code can
show if you change the cartridge while the
power switch on the plasma power supply
is set to ON (I). Do a quick restart.
• If the Hypertherm cartridge is in good
condition and is installed correctly, the torch
has possible damage. If possible, do a test
with a different torch that is known to
operate correctly.
• Make sure that the
plunger in the torch
head moves freely.
Push down the
plunger and then
release. A plunger
in good condition
goes back to its
start position. If the
plunger no longer operates correctly,
replace the torch body.
•Do Test 8 – Torch cap switch on page 108.
