Hypertherm, Machine Interface Receptacle: No Ignition of Machine Torch - Solved

I have a hypertherm 45 sync and the Machine Interface Receptacle and the Machine torch.

After installing all the misc boards, cables and parts I was unable to get the torch to fire when I ran the arcdroid.

It turns out that the most recent instructions reference a wire that may not exist on all kits.

On mine the 4-wire connection does not have a orange wire as referenced in the manual. To add to the confusion the plug will fit both ways so there is no clue to be had there.

On my machine I have to have the red wire at the top, not the missing orange wire, to get things working.

I’m including pictures. Hope this helps someone.

Reality:

On mine I pulled the gun apart and the wires colour were if I remember right purple and brown (maybe its been awhile). Then found them in the machine and hooked up and off to the races. Good luck.
