UPL – Set the low gas pressure detection feature to on or off. When you set this field to off, the
system no longer shows the 0-20-0 fault code. For information on fault codes, refer to
page 130. This field is on by default.
Hypertherm recommends that you keep this field on. But you can set it to off if the inlet gas
pressure at your work site is not stable or if it stays low enough that you get frequent 0-20-0
faults.
Setting this field to off can cause decreased cut quality and cartridge life. If the input gas
pressure goes too low, damage to the torch and the cartridge can be the result.
EOL – Set the Hypertherm cartridge end-of-life (EOL) detection feature to on or off. When you set
this field to off, the system no longer shows the 0-32-0 or 0-32-1 fault codes when the
cartridge gets to end-of-life. Refer to page 82.
This field is on by default. But the system temporarily sets the feature to off when any one of
the following conditions occurs:
You install a FineCut hand cutting cartridge.
You set the output current below 40 A for any Hypertherm cartridge.
GFL – Do not use this setting. It is reserved for future development.
GEN – Set the generator mode feature to on or off. When you set this field to on, the system
decreases its sensitivity to changes in current and voltage from incoming power, which can
cause fault conditions. Refer to page 145. These changes in input power are common with
some generators. This field is off by default.
Hypertherm recommends that you keep this field off. Setting this field to on can increase the
risk of the plasma power supply overheating.
Make sure that you set this field to off when you are not using a generator.
