    What to do if FAULT and 75 PSI indicators are flashing on my Thermal Dynamics CUTMASTER A120 Welding System?
    • M
      Mark MartinezAug 22, 2025
      If the FAULT and 75 PSI indicators are flashing, it could be due to several reasons. First, the start signal might be active when the ON/OFF switch is turned on. In this case, release the START signal source. This can happen if the hand torch or pendant switch is held closed, or if the CNC START signal is active low. Another potential cause is a problem in the torch and leads switch circuit, which would require replacing the torch and leads or returning the unit to an authorized service center.

      If the FAULT and 80 PSI indicators are flashing and the gas flow is cycling on and off, try these steps: - Tighten the shield cup by hand, being careful not to overtighten it. - Turn off the power supply and remove the shield cup. Then, install any missing parts. - Turn off the power supply, bleed down the system pressure, and remove the shield cup, tip, and start cartridge. Check the start cartridge lower end fitting for free movement, and replace it if the fitting does not move freely. If the issue continues, consider replacing the torch and leads or returning the unit to an authorized service center for repair.

      If the FAULT and 75 PSI indicators are flashing, it may be because the start is active. This can happen if the hand torch switch or hand pendant switch is held closed, or if the CNC START signal is active low. Try releasing the START signal source. If that doesn't work, consider replacing the torch and leads or returning the unit to an authorized service center for repair.

    What causes Fault indicator flashing, 65 PSI indicator flashing on Thermal Dynamics CUTMASTER A120?
    • W
      Wendy HicksAug 23, 2025
      If the Fault indicator and the 65 PSI indicator are flashing, ensure the INPUT VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH is set to match the primary input voltage. Have a qualified person check the primary voltage to ensure it meets the unit requirements.
