components inside the
Hypertherm cartridge are not
touching after a Start signal is
received.
These fault codes stop the system from
operating. Do the following.
• If the Hypertherm cartridge became loose
or was removed while the plasma power
supply was ON and the torch-lock switch
was set to the green “ready to fire”
position ( ), set the power switch on the
plasma power supply to OFF (O), correct
the problem, and set the power switch to

sure that it is not worn or damaged. Refer to
Signs that a cartridge is near end-of-life on
page 108 and Cartridge maintenance on
page 170.

the yellow lock (X) position, then move the

condition and is installed correctly, the torch
has possible damage. Speak to your
distributor or authorized repair facility.
