There is a problem with the cartridge installation.
This fault shows when you install a cartridge, and it cannot send data to the plasma power supply. This fault code stops the system from operating.
Do one of the following:
• Set the torch-lock switch to the yellow lock (X) position and then back to the green “ready to fire” (✓) position.
• Do a quick restart.
• Install the cartridge again. Electrical noise can cause a bad data connection. For example, high frequency electrical noise from TIG welders can cause interference. Keep electrical noise in the work area as low as possible. If you do not remove this fault code, the system automatically adjusts the following settings to prevent possible damage to the workpiece and cartridge:
• It sets the output current to 45 A.
• It sets the operating mode to Cut mode.
• It sets the output gas pressure to cut pressure.
If necessary, you can manually change these settings to cut without a data connection.

The cartridge is not recognized.
This fault shows when a cartridge cannot send data to the plasma power supply for some reason. This fault code does not stop the system from operating.
• When this fault occurs, you can continue to cut or gouge, but you must set the output current (A) and the operating mode manually. Also, the system cannot collect data about the Hypertherm cartridge.
• Lightly blow air into the cartridge to remove all dust or other contamination. Install the cartridge again.
• Make sure that the green ring inside the cartridge is not broken.

The input power stopped. Or, power PCB hardware protection occurred for components in the plasma power supply.
This fault code stops the system from operating.
Do the following.
• This fault can be the result of electrical noise. Wait for the fault to go away, and continue to cut.
• If you use serial communications, this fault can occur temporarily on the CNC when you set the plasma power supply to OFF (O). Wait for 1 minute for the fault to go away on its own.
• If this fault continues to occur, it can identify a possible hardware fault with an internal component., and you can see a A hardware fault shows as a 1-nn-n, 2-nn-n, or 3-nn-n fault code. A qualified service technician must repair the system. Speak to your distributor or authorized repair facility (Welders Supply).

The gas pressure is lower than the minimum pressure for the selected process, operating mode, torch, lead length, and Hypertherm cartridge type.
This fault code does not stop the system from operating. Do the following.
• Examine all the connections for the input gas supply. Make sure that there are no leaks or loose connections.
• Make sure that the incoming gas supply hose has an internal diameter of 10 mm (3/8 inch) or greater if the hose is less than 15 m (50 feet). For hoses that are 15 m – 30 m (50 feet – 100 feet), use an internal diameter of 13 mm (1/2 inch) or greater.
• Make sure that there is sufficient inlet gas pressure from the gas supply source. Refer to Inlet gas pressure requirements (while gas is flowing) on page 57 of theoperator manual.
• Manually adjust the gas pressure on the plasma power supply. Refer to page 74 of theoperator manual.
• Do a gas test to see if the plasma power supply’s actual output gas pressure is lower than the set pressure by more than an acceptable quantity. Refer to page 151 of theoperator manual.
• If there is no apparent problem with the inlet gas supply, examine the air filter bowl and air filter element in the plasma power supply. Clean or replace as necessary. Refer to page 177 of theoperator manual.

There is a torch stuck open (TSO) condition.
The nozzle and electrode components inside the Hypertherm cartridge are not touching after a Start signal is received.
These fault codes stop the torch from firing a plasma arc. In some conditions, you can fire the torch again and continue to cut.
If the fault occurred when you first installed the cartridge and tried to fire the torch, 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 ON (I) to remove the fault.
• Examine the Hypertherm cartridge. Make sure that it is not worn or damaged. Refer to Signs that a cartridge is near end-of-life on page 107 and Cartridge maintenance on page 176 of theoperator manual.
• Hand torch:Move the torch-lock switch to the yellow lock (X) position, then move the torch-lock switch to the green “ready to fire” (✓) position. Fire the torch 1 time to get the warning puffs of air. This can clean away unwanted material that has collected around the tip of the cartridge.
• Remove the cartridge and carefully shake it to remove unwanted material that has collected inside the cartridge. This material can cause 0-30-0 faults to occur. A higher rate of 0-30-0 faults is typical as a cartridge gets near end-of-life.
• Install a new Hypertherm cartridge.
If the fault occurred during postflow or during a cut, do the following:
• Examine the gas line. Refer to Examine the gas pressure on page 126 and Examine the gas quality on page 127 of theoperator manual.
• If the Hypertherm cartridge is in good condition and is installed correctly, the torch has possible damage. Speak to your distributor or authorized repair facility.Examine the torch for damage and for conditions that can prevent correct gas flow.
