Yellow
An RF communication failure
occurred between the
cartridge and the torch.
This fault code does not stop the system from
operating. Hypertherm recommends that you do
the following.
When this fault occurs, the Hypertherm
cartridge is not sending data to the system, so
the system cannot collect data about the
cartridge. The problem can be with the
Hypertherm cartridge or with the SmartSYNC
torch.
You can continue to cut or gouge, but you must
set the output current (A) and the operating
mode manually.
Cartridge:
• Make sure that the Hypertherm cartridge is
installed correctly.
• Make sure that the
green ring inside the
cartridge is not broken.
• If you have a
Hypertherm cartridge
reader (528083), do a
test to identify if the
reader can pull data from the cartridge.
• Install a new Hypertherm cartridge.
Torch:
• The RF component on the PCB in the
SmartSYNC torch has damage. Make sure
that the wires in the torch are in the correct
slots in the torch PCB and are connected
correctly. Do Test 14 – Radio Frequency
(RF) communication errors on page 126.

yellow
A communication failure
occurred between the torch
and the plasma power supply.
This fault code does not stop the system from
operating. Hypertherm recommends that you do
the following.
When this fault occurs, the SmartSYNC torch is
not sending data to the plasma power supply, so
the system cannot collect data about the
Hypertherm cartridge. There can be a problem
with the PCB in the torch, with the torch lead,
with the quick-disconnect receptacle, or with
the torch communication circuitry on the PCB in
the plasma power supply. Do Test 14 – Radio
Frequency (RF) communication errors on
page 126.
You can continue to cut or gouge, but you must
set the output current (A) and the operating
mode manually.
