Do you have a torch height controller? Pin outs for the "torch on" are pins 3 & 4. "Ok to move" are 12 & 14. "Voltage divider" if you use that are 5(-) & 6(+). Just mount the hand torch to your table and wire up the back plug to the controller and away you go.

Re: Hypertherm 85
According to CANDCNC manual You need to tap into orange and violet wires at J10 in the plasma for torch on. is it a LCTHC? If so, I have the same thing. You need to get Tip Voltage from inside the unit. It will be Pos to J21 and Neg to J19 or J18 (white wire).
