Image of the seven segment display for switching modes.

Choose between smart mode, torch mode, and basic mode.

In smart mode, the plasma power supply automatically sets the operating mode, gas pressure, and amperage based on the type of Hypertherm® cartridge installed. Refer to Smart mode versus basic mode for details.
  • t.0 Smart mode. This is the default setting.
  • t.1 Torch mode (reserved for future use)
  • t.2 Basic mode
 Smart mode.
Image of the seven segment display for the parity settings.
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) parity setting
  • C.E – even
  • C.0 – odd
  • Cn – no parity
 Even parity bit.
Image of the seven segment display for the number of stop bits. CNC - number of stop bits per byte.
  • 5.1 – one stop bit
  • 5.2 – two stop bits
 One stop bit
Image of the seven segment display for the address bits. CNC address bits
  • 0.0 – CNC address, third digit. Change the hundreds place value from 0 to 2. 0.0 = 0xx, 0.1 = 1xx, 0.2 = 2xx.
  • 1.0 – CNC address second digit. Change the tens place value from 0 to 9. For example, 1.3 = x3x, 1.4 = x4x, 1.5 = x5x,.
  • 2.0 – CNC address first digit. Change the ones place value from 0 to 9. For example, 2.6 = xx6, 2.7 = xx7, 2.8 = xx8.
 0.0 – Zero in the hundreds place

1.0 – Zero in the tens place.

2.0 – Zero in the ones place.

Example — CNC node address set to 245:
Image of the seven segment display for the transmit and receive time delay. Change the time delay between receive and transmit (Rx and Tx) actions.
This applies to half-duplex serial communications where the same wires are used for receiving and transmitting data.
  • d.0 – 0ms
  • d.1 – 10ms
  • d.2 – 50ms
 No delay (d.0).
Image of the seven segment display for the under pressure lockout warning.

Show or hide the under pressure lockout warning (UPLO) fault code (0-20-0).

When disabled, the plasma power supply will not display the UPLO (0-20-0) warning when the air supply goes below the safe minimum operating pressure.
  • P.0 – enable under pressure lockout warning
  • P.1 – disable under pressure lockout warning
 Enabled
Image of the seven segment display for the duty cycle lamp. Enable or disable the duty cycle clamp.
  • H.0 – enabled
  • H.1 – disabled
 Enabled
Image of the seven segment display for factory reset.

Reset all settings to factory defaults.
