Diagnostic code 532
Diagnostic code 532 identifies when the shield water pressure supplied to the cutting
system is less than the required range. This condition can cause system shutdown or
poor cut quality. Examination of water hoses, fittings, regulators, and possibly the
use of a booster water pump can be necessary.

For a minimum of 200 milliseconds, the shield water pressure
(P9) is less than 50% of the setpoint (2.7 bar/39 psi), and the
setpoint is more than 0. |

Corrective action
-
Make sure that the shield water pressure supplied to the cutting system
is between 2.76 bar – 7.93 bar (40 psi – 115 psi).
-
Examine all water hoses and water hose inlet fittings for:
- Damage or kinks that can restrict flow
- Leaks that can decrease pressure
-
Replace any hoses that have damage or kinks.
-
Put the hoses in a different position if you find kinks that can be
fixed.
-
Replace any fitting that has damage.
-
Tighten loose connections if found.
-
Examine water regulators for debris that can block the flow path.
-
Adjust the inlet water pressures to a minimum of 2.77 bar (40 psi) when
cutting, if necessary.
The Hypertherm®-supplied
regulator that is connected to the gas connect console is set at the
factory. Do not adjust this regulator.
-
If you cannot find
or correct the problem, speak to your cutting machine supplier or regional Hypertherm Technical Service team.
