An AC input is not stable. 
Shut down the system.
This fault code stops the system from operating. 
Do the following. A cold restart is necessary.
• The current from the incoming power line is 
unstable. Stop power to the system and 
correct the line resonance problem before 
continuing.
• If possible, connect the system to a different 
AC power source.
• Make sure that the plasma power supply is 
not being used on a phase converter.
• If applicable, disconnect the system from 
generator power, or set the generator mode 
feature to on. Refer to Troubleshoot 
power-related problems with generators on 
page 145.

An internal communication 
failure occurred between the 
LCD/control PCB and the 
DSP PCB.
This fault code can stop the system from 
operating in some conditions. You can continue 
to cut, but the controls on the front panel are not 
available. Hypertherm recommends that you do 
the following.
• Set the power switch on the plasma power 
supply to OFF (O). Wait until all the 
amperage LEDs on the SmartSYNC hand 
torch go off. (Or, wait approximately 
1 minute.) Set the power switch to ON (I).
If the problem continues, a qualified service 
technician must open the plasma power supply 
and examine the ribbon cable between the 
LCD/control PCB and the DSP PCB.
