0-50-2 none
Yellow
The torch-lock switch is set to
the green “ready to fire” ( )
position, but the torch is not
prepared to fire.
This fault code identifies a condition in which an
additional step is necessary for hand torches
before the hand torch will fire a plasma arc.
• When you move the torch-lock switch to the
green “ready to fire” ( ) position, the fault
code changes from 0-50-1 to 0-50-2, and
the icon goes off.
• Hand torch: Fire the torch 1 time to get the
warning puffs of air. The 0-50-2 fault code
goes off, and the LED on the hand torch
changes from yellow to green. The torch is
now prepared to fire a plasma arc.
• Machine torch: The 0-50-2 fault code
shows for approximately 1 second and then
goes off. Fire the torch to get a plasma arc.
There are no warning puffs of air. If the
0-50-2 fault code does not go off, send a
STOP signal from the CNC to remove the
fault.
• Mini machine torch: This fault code is not
applicable to the mini machine torch.

The plasma power supply
was receiving a signal to start
cutting at the same time that
the power switch was set to
ON (I).
With a machine torch, this
condition is sometimes
referred to as a “stuck start.”
This fault code stops the system from operating.
Do the following. A quick restart is necessary.
• Hand torch: The torch trigger was being
held in the “fire” position when the power
switch on the plasma power supply was set
to ON (I). Release the trigger and do a
quick restart of the plasma power supply.
• Machine torch: The plasma power supply
was receiving a Start signal when the power
switch was set to ON (I). Set the start
signal to off, and do a quick restart of the
plasma power supply.
