With no CPC port there is likely no voltage divider either so you will be on RAW arc voltage. That connection is easy since you make your positive connection to the PM45XP circuit board where the ground clamp terminates at the board, and the negative connection to where the electrode wires come in from the torch and terminate at the board.

The instructions for connecting the 45xp with hand torch to to the Plasmacam controller are provided in the Video Manual. If you wish to use a machine torch, then you will need to buy the CPC port upgrade kit and install it into your 45xp.

For the non-machine torch application, you will need to purchase the Plasmacam torch control cable kit from Plasmacam and follow the instructions for installation and testing shown in the Video Manual. Replacement Video Manuals are available directly from Plasmacam for $10 plus shipping.

The Plasmacam torch control cable includes the correct voltage divider installed into the cable.
