DIGITAL TORCH HEIGHT CONTROL MODULE (DTHC)

The DTHC is a plug compatible module that will plug into the UBOB Ultimate
BreakOut Board card and with the proper plug-in and profile in MACH, provide
advanced Torch Height Control (including Torch on/off). The following pages go
through the details and setup of the DTHC using the custom screens and plug-ins.
The MP3000-DTHC-UBOBIII Install file on the support CD will automatically setup
MACH3 with the plug-ins and profiles needed to get started. If you are upgrading
an existing UBOB based system (MP3000; BladeRunner; UBOB Builders Kit) to do
plasma cutting you need to verify the UBOB is a UBOB III or newer card.

The DTHC is designed to work with several of our products and it’s possible to field upgrade
those products with a DTHC module. The following pages are intended to cover the details
and setup of the DTHC. For the general setup of your product like the MP3000 you should
refer to the manual for that product. If you do not have the manual or the Support CD you
can find the PDF files on the CandCNC.com website in the

section. The support

files are also there as well as on our

in the

section.

Some complete products from CandCNC may not have the correct version of the UBOB to
do a direct plug of the DTHC and there may not be a slot for the card in the front panel.
Please advise us if you need a new front panel with a slot for the DTHC and which product
you have. If you do not have an MP3000 or BladeRunner in the case then you can get a
special front panel aluminum plate that will mount the components inside your case and
expose the plugs for easy hookup. See our website for details.
