Troubleshooting for an RF communication fault (0-98-1)
An 0-98-1 fault code identifies a Radio Frequency (RF) communication failure between the Hypertherm® cartridge and the torch.
When this fault occurs, the Hypertherm cartridge is not sending data to the system, so the system cannot collect data about the Hypertherm cartridge. The problem can be with the Hypertherm cartridge or with the SmartSYNC® torch.
