9.3 VOLTAGE FEEDBACK

9.3.1 No Voltage Reading in PathPilot

Cause: Bad control connection to plasma source

Probability

How-To Steps

Need More?

High

Measure voltage input to THCT board in electrical cabinet:

1. Using a multimeter set to DC volts, probe wires

442

and

495

on the THCT

board with the torch off.

You should read close to 0 VDC.

2. Have a helper press the

TEST TORCH

button in PathPilot and check the

voltage. You should read your plasma source's open circuit voltage divided

by 50 or around 2.5 VDC.

3. If you do not read a voltage, you may need to replace your plasma source

control cable. If you do read a voltage, proceed to checking THCT

communication with the Machine Control Board.

Your plasma source is required to have

an internal voltage divider. By default,

PathPilot is configured for a 50:1

divider.
