Hypertherm Powermax65 SYNC Guía De Referencia Rápida página 4

Use the Powermax SYNC system
When you install a Hypertherm cartridge on a SmartSYNC torch, the system does the following things for you:
• Sets the operating mode and the output current (A) automatically. For example, if you install a 65 A gouging cartridge, the
system automatically goes to Gouge mode and sets the amperage to 65 A.
• Records use data for the cartridge and for the plasma power supply.
• Sets the gas pressure automatically.
When you install a cutting cartridge:
When you install a gouging cartridge:

Cut, pierce, and gouge metal
Attach the work clamp to the workpiece before cutting.
Cut
1. Start at the edge of the workpiece. Hold the torch at a
90° angle to the workpiece.
2. Fire the torch. Stay at the edge until the plasma arc cuts
through the workpiece.
3. Drag the torch lightly across the workpiece. Keep a
stable pace. No standoff is required.

Rolling pierce
1. Hold the torch at an
approximate 30° angle.
Put the tip of the torch on
30°
the workpiece.
2. Pull the trigger to start the
plasma arc. Tilt the torch up until it is at a 90° angle to
the workpiece.
3. Hold the torch in position
until the plasma arc
pierces fully through the
workpiece.
Gouge
1. Hold the torch at an approximate 40° – 45° angle with
the torch tip 6 mm – 12 mm (1/4 in. – 1/2 in.) from the
workpiece.
2. Pull the trigger to get a pilot arc. Transfer the arc to the
workpiece.
3. Stretch the plasma arc to 25 mm – 32 mm
(1 in. – 1-1/4 in.). As you gouge, change the position of
the torch to get the gouge contour that you want. Refer
to the Operator Manual for details.

Troubleshoot common problems
Identify when to install a new cartridge
The system tells you when a Hypertherm cartridge is at
end-of-life. Look for these fault codes. This feature helps to
prevent damage to the torch. You can choose to replace the
cartridge before it gets to this condition if the cut quality is
no longer satisfactory.
Fault code Fault icon Description
0-32-0 This fault code shows when the system first senses
that the Hypertherm cartridge is at end-of-life.
3
The LED on the hand torch also changes to red. To
remove the fault code, install a new cartridge.
If you restart the system and try to use the same
cartridge, the 0-32-1 fault code shows to remind
you that the cartridge is at end-of-life. Hypertherm
strongly recommends that you install a new
cartridge.
0-32-1 This fault code shows when you install a used
Hypertherm cartridge that had the 0-32-0 fault
before. The LED on the hand torch also flashes
yellow. The 0-32-1 fault code reminds you that
the cartridge is at end-of-life. Hypertherm strongly
recommends that you install a new cartridge.
When it is necessary to replace a cartridge, replace the full
cartridge with a new one.
Do not try to disassemble the cartridge. No
maintenance is necessary on the cartridge except possibly
to remove molten metal from the tip of the cartridge.
The cartridge end-of-life detection feature is disabled when
one of the following conditions occurs:
• You install a FineCut hand cutting cartridge.
• You set the output current below 40 A for any type of
Hypertherm cartridge.
