IHC cable connections (SOLVED)

LS-THC (Torch Height Control)
1

The IHC cable connections to the torch for the THC, have broken loose, and I am trying to figure out where they are suppose to be connected.

One of the wires came loose from a ring terminal connector on the back of the Z axis plate that rides on the two round rails. I seems the only way to get to it is to remove the set screws on each end of the and remove the round rails. The rails do not move easily and I am wondering how tight they might be?
The other wire, I have not clue where it connects, as there are not other unused connectors hanging around.
I believe that they close a loop when the torch touches the material, which sets the IHS, but I don’t know where or how the other wire is suppose to connect to the torch. The Plasma cutter is a Hypertherm 85 with a machine torch head.
TIA

No need to reply to my post!
I discovered an earlier post, on here, that answers all my questions.

@Patio Welcome to The forum.

That’s great you’re able to solve your problem by referencing historical topics.

Once you start cutting out some pieces make sure you come back and post your projects.

Everyone loves build photos.

I think you need to do about 10 posts before you’re allowed to post an image.

Welcome to the forum.

Now that you have it running, this would be a good time to label all of your wires. It is likely they will become disconnected again. Having the labels allow you to go on auto-pilot to connect again.
