1. Make sure that the clearance around the plasma power supply is adequate.
For adequate ventilation, Hypertherm recommends a minimum separation 
distance of 1 meter (3.3 feet) between the plasma power supply and any 
other objects or equipment.
2. Make sure that the ambient temperature where the plasma power supply is located is within the 
acceptable temperature range for cutting system operation Refer to Table 1.
If the temperature where your plasma power supply is located is above the 
temperature limit, you can see reduced performance and over-temp 
diagnostic codes.
3. While all of the fans continue to operate, allow the cutting system to cool.
4. Reference the XPR web interface. Make sure that the heat-exchanger fan speed is within the 
acceptable range (heat-exchanger fan 1; heat-exchanger fan 2).
WARNING

Disconnect electrical power before doing troubleshooting or diagnostic work.
All work requiring removal of the plasma power supply outer cover or panels 
must be done by a qualified technician.
