Hypertherm 65 hand torch to machine torch

I have a hypertherm 65 without cpc port that I manually spliced into the wires inside to fire the hand torch. Everything working fine for over a year. I now bought a machine torch. Can I just switch out torches without changing any wiring?

I searched the forums but could not find a definite answer. thanks

There may be a way to fire the machine torch without the cpc but its not going to fire the way you have it wired now.

Get hypertherm part # 228697 for the cpc port upgrade.

After getting the cpc upgrade you can either change all your wiring for torch on/off and divided arc or just use it for torch on/off and continue using the raw arc voltage for your thc.
