Symptoms

Code Symptoms XPR® models XPR action Code cancels with...
631 The current in the work cable is more than 5 A while the plasma cutting system is in the Wait for Start state. All models Shut down Remote on-off

Corrective action

  1. Remove the power from the cutting system.
  2. Examine J1.8 on PCB 1 (the control PCB in the plasma power supply) and the work cable sensor on the I/O panel on PCB 5 (the I/O PCB in the plasma power supply) for damage and loose connections.
  3. If the connections are good and the code continues, replace the I/O PCB.
  4. If you cannot find or correct the problem, speak to your cutting machine supplier or regional Hypertherm® Technical Service team.
