Hey all,

I just stepped up and purchased a Hypertherm Powermax 1000 (hand torch model) for my 4'x8' DynaCNC table and I'm looking for some help.

The cable provided by DynaCNC plugs right into the back of the Hypertherm and according to the Dyna4000 manual, there are also two wires (green/w and green) that are connected to J15 and J16 inside the torch.

Plugged those in, turned everything on, clicked the "torch on/off" button in Mach3 and... nothing. Torch doesn't fire. I can hear a relay click inside the controller when I click the "torch on/off" button in Mach3 but sparks don't fly.

Is there something I have to do with the hand torch trigger switch? is there a workaround or a bypass of the switch that someone knows about but I can't seem to find in a search?

btw...I had my miller plasma w/hand torch hooked up and it worked fine so I'm thinking I just haven't done everything to the Hypertherm yet. any advice?

Thanks,
Michael G.
