Test 12 – AUX switch

Symptom: The display goes blank after “Hypertherm” appears. (CSA units only).
1.  Turn the machine off and disconnect the power.
2.  Disconnect the auxiliary switch cable from J1 on the power board.
3.  Measure the resistance on the cable plug between Pin 4 and Pin 5.
4.  If the power switch is closed (ON) there should be very low resistance.
5.  If the power switch is open (OFF) there should be very high resistance.
6.  If the resistance measurement doesn’t agree, check the cable, plug, and switch for opens or shorts.
