PM 45 with PM65 duramax machine torch problem

Post by acourtjester »

I have an older PM45 (not XP) that I bought a Duramax machine torch for (same as the PM 65 machine torch). It will not fire and it seems to me I saw that a jumper was needed in the torch connecter for it to work. When I bought the torch from Hypertherm they said it will work fine. If I hook the hand torch up is fires fine with the trigger. So I hope a member here has the answer. I have just looked using the search here and google but cannot find the answer. I have used the torch on my PM65 fine.

Stop the Job, problem was in the Cockpit, :Sad software not firing the torch. I had to tell it the pin for the output signal. Have no idea why it was not in there, but it is now and it works fine. :Yay
