Alternative wiring method
Another option though not recommended is to switch the Positive rail of the MASSO Power supply with a
suitable sized resistor in series through the THC. This can create noise problems from the Plasma arc. When
there is no signal coming from the THC it means the inputs have no signal on them at all. The length of wire
between the THC and MASSO will act as an antenna, picking up all of the electrical noise generated by the
plasma. If a high enough voltage is generated it will turn inputs on. This will create false inputs to MASSO
and cause issues. While the wiring is easier there is a chance of problems from noise generated by the
plasma arc. The actual resistance value will depend on the type of switch used within the THC. The purpose
of the resistor is to limit the fault current in case a THC output is accidentally grounded. Using this method
the inputs are not inverted.
Consult your user manual for more details and the best method to connect your THC.
It is recommended a separate power supply is used to power the THC.
