Why Hypertherm Cutter lost current?
If your Hypertherm Cutter is losing current, first check that the consumable parts are in good condition and that the cut-flow gas settings are correct. Also, verify the pierce delay time. Ensure the arc doesn't lose contact with the plate during cutting, which can occur during hole or scrap cutting. For further investigation, consider performing a chopper test (see the Maintenance section).
What to do if Hypertherm HyPerformance Plasma HPR260 Cutter has no arc transfer?
If you're experiencing 'No arc transfer' with your Hypertherm Cutter, first ensure that you're using the correct pierce height. Also, check that your preflow and cut-flow settings are accurate. Inspect the work lead for any damage or loose connections. Finally, perform a current test as described in the Maintenance section.
How to fix gas system error on Hypertherm Cutter?
If your Hypertherm Cutter (Auto Gas Only) is showing a 'Gas system error', verify that cable number 5 (the power supply-to-gas console control cable) is undamaged and correctly connected to PCB3 and the rear of the gas console. Also, verify that cable number 6 (the power supply-to-gas console power cable) is undamaged and properly connected inside the power supply and to the rear of the gas console. Check that D1 (+5 VDC) and D2 (+3.3 VDC) are illuminated on PCB2 inside the gas console, indicating power to PCB2. If power is present at PCB2 and PCB3 and both gas console cables are in good condition, then PCB2 or PCB3 may have failed; use the CAN tester to determine which board needs replacement.
