Plasma Enable from Gas Control or TSC 3000
If the External or CNC Plasma Enable is satisfied, D2 is on, a relay K7 on the CCM I/O PCB energizes supply-
ing +15V to another relay K1 on the I/O board. An active low signal, /Plasma Enable-HMI, comes from TSC
3000 Plasma Enable switch via the Relay PCB or if TSC 3000 is not installed the signal originates on the Relay
PCB. This signal applies ground to the K1 relay energizing it and lighting the LED, D3 on the I/O board. K1’s
contacts go back to the Relay board and the Gas control connector J55 to allow turning on relays and solenoids
on those devices. The AC 200 XT does not use the separate Gas Control or the TSC 3000.

When the circuit between J54-1 & 3 is closed (jumper,
etc.) K7 is energized and requires a Plasma Enable SW
or equivlant to enable the plasma.
With J54-1 & 3 open K7 is denergized and it's NC
contacts complete the Plasma Enable-HMI circuit.

If a TSC 3000 is not connected or unit is an Auto-Cut, K7 on the Relay PCB is de-energized and GND is con-
nected through its normally closed contacts. If the TSC is connected, 24 VAC through a jumper in the TSC 3000
energizes K7, opening its NC contacts and now GND connects through the TDC 3000 Plasma Enable switch.
The GND obtained by either path passes through the GCM 2010 Plasma Enable switch or through a jumper
(J56-1 to J56-2) present in the other gas controls (GCM 1000 XT or DMC 3000) and is connected to the coil of K1
on the I/O PCB. If the CNC Plasma Enable is also active (D2 is on) +15V will be connected to K1’s coil through
the relay K7 on the I/O PCB. This energizes K1 and turns on D3, Plasma Enable LED. The contacts of K1 go
back to the Relay board and to the Gas control to enable power to connect to relays and solenoids in those items.
Troubleshooting:
1. If both D2 and D3 are on and you still have 101 fault replace the CCM. Otherwise go to step 2 except if
it’s an AC 200 XT skip to step 4.
2. If D3 is not on and there is a TSC 3000 in use remove its cable from J54. K7 on the Relay board will de-
energize and satisfy the Plasma Enable to K1. If D3 is now on problem was in the TSC 3000 or its cable.
Otherwise reconnect the cable.
3. For an Ultra-Cut with DFC 3000 or GCM 2010 or an Auto-Cut 300 with a GCM 1000 XT remove the cable
from J55 the gas control connector and jumper pins 1 & 2. If D3 is on now problem is in the Gas Control
or its cable. If D3 still not on replace the Gas Control cable.
4. If neither of the above steps works, on the CCM I/O board, jumper J26-7 to GND (TP1 on I/O). If D2 is
on and D3 still does not light then replace the CCM.
5. If D3 does light in the above step find the 40 pin ribbon cable plugged in to the top of the CCM. Confirm
that it is plugged in to both the CCM and the Relay board and the connector tabs are locked in place.
Now using the spare receptacle measure voltage between GND (TP1 on I/O) and the ribbon cable pin 12.
It should be zero V. If not, if it’s something like 10-15VDC, the ribbon cable is open or the Relay board
is defective.
