Hypertherm POWERMAX 85 Sync connect to Arcdroid

General Discussion

Hello all

I have a Hypertherm Powermax 85 Sync.
How do I have to connect the Arcdroid?
I have two connectors on the back of the plasma cutter.
Which pins do I need to use on the plasma cutter and which on the Arcdroid?
Can it be that one must still change a setting in the menu of the Hypertherm ?

Greetings Adrian Hui

Welcome @HuiAG .

You have a common question. Take a look at this previous post.

Thank you for the answer.
My problem is that I have a hand torch and this detects the plasma cutter and thus this function does not switch with pin 3 and pin 4 …

Can mann this somehow bypass trick?

I have the latest Hypertherm this has a larger pinout than the predecessors.

Do I have to buy a machine burner to solve this problem?

I have now tried to rebuild the hand burner and pulled out the cables at the back of the handle. Is not the definitive solution I think.

Hey Adrian

In order to trick your Hyperthem into thinking it has a machine torch you need to ad a small jumper to the front of the machine where you torch plugs in. This will allow it to operate using the port on the back.

Thank you Andrew! This solved the problem with my Hypertherm P45 not firing. This is such an easy fix and the hand torch can still be used manually with the safety trigger intact.

What about the pins that actually go into those holes?
