Water table erroring out plasmacam

[i_r_machinist]

I finished my water table on my 4x4 plasmacam. I'm running the water about 1" down from the bottom of my plate. When I cut through and the water splashes up on the torch I get "Torch hit material" and have to blow the tip off to continue the cycle. I lowered the water to 3" down and don't get the error now, but I get a lot more smoke in the shop. I watch videos of torches running with the water touching the plate.
What am I missing?
thanks

I dont have a water table, but I have to keep the "alert when torch hits material" sensor off most of the time because it is so sensitive. Depending on what you are cutting it doesn't need to be on most of the time anyway. There may be another solution the tech guys at Plasmacam could give you, but turning that setting off should make it work better.

The PlasmaCam ohmic sensing does not work with water splashing on the torch. Either lower the water (so no splash), or don't use the ohmic sense function. I prefer downdraft on both of my PlasmaCam machines.
