Does it fire with the TEST button?


(Well, we've gotta start somewhere).

The wiring to get a machine torch to fire is different. You need to locate the torch start pins on the machine interface connector on the back of the Hypertherm. They are usually pins 3&4. Connect the black and the white trigger wires from the Plasmacam torch control cable to the wires to pins 3&4.
