Ok, now I'm confused and that is easy with electronics. So what would you recommend I use with my everlast PP50, blowback start, and the LCTHC? Will this work with what is available at the plug or do I go internal to the machine?
My apologies but boil it down for me please.

You have to go internal regardless unless you can confirm the divided voltage at the plug is REALLY the 16:1 or the 50:1 and never spikes over 35V. Then (and only them) would you consider using the MP3000-DTHCII setup with it's isolated digital pickup system. You can still use the rear signals on the LCTHC....just not the divided voltage. If you don't need the expanded features of the MP3000-DTHCII system than just stick with what you have. If you had the HF start or the combo TIG/Plasma I would just tell you to forget the THC side of the equation.

Tom, can I use the 16:1 at the connector with the LCTHC and verify that it doesn't spike over 35v?

I hear you but I don't want to lay out that kind of cash now. I changed from the PP60 which uses HF start to the PP50 which uses blowback start. That solved a lot of my HF issues and I have been able to get the PP50 to work, I just wanted to take it the next step and add control to my z axis. I end up screwing up a cut because the material warps and makes contact with the head.

Well that's good that you went for a blowback start. Like Tom said, if your gonna use the cnc connector, verify the pinouts with a volt meter and don't use the plasmas internal voltage divider. I only used the connector for torch on/off, that's it. Use the voltage divider that ships with your thc unit and connect that to your line outputs. That's the way to go.

I wouldn't, since the lcthc ships with an external divider interface, stick with that. I'd avoid the internal voltage divider on your plasma altogether.

NO

Thanks for all the help and patience guys, I really appreciate the help!

There are major feature differences between the LCTHC and the MP3000-DTHCII
