Need Help trying to fix Hypertherm 45 XP

Post by IsaacRodz19 »

My Hypertherm 45XP will only display 00 on control board, turning the knob does nothing, the numbers stay at 00. Resetting the board sets the number to 2.4 but then when I turn the knob a small release of air happens and it displays 00 again. I thought it was a problem with the control board so I ordered a replacement and changed it but the problem still persists. I also changed out the air filter and same problem.

Sounds like a possible air pressure issue. That is not a standard error code which leads me to believe your seeing air pressure at 00 bar and when you reset the board you see 2.4 bar until you get the small release of air and it reads 00 bar again. Do you have an air pressure gauge on the back of the 45XP so you can see what the pressure is when all this is happening?

Well it would depend on what you find the issue to be. The gauge will verify that you have adequate air pressure and volume being supplied to the machine, if you don't that should be an easy fix to track down and repair. If you do and the problem is internal that will be more difficult.
