Hypertherm 45xp W/ CPC Port Wiring?

Found it in a thread on Plasmaspider, guy had a schematic of the connector. And yes, it will disable the torch from being used for hand cutting. By moving that pin, it fools the machine into thinking a machine torch is connected(therefore not requiring the voltage signal from the trigger safety), which means the machine will only fire when it gets that signal via the CPC port.

If you wanted to use your torch for manual cutting, you’ll have to pop the connector apart and move the pin back. And cut the zip tie off your trigger.

If you’ll be switching back and forth between hand/machine cutting a lot and/or value your time, spend the money and buy another torch whip that stays married to the table. Not really cheap, but it’s super nice being able to quickly plug/unplug the torch and CPC cable.
