Crossfire Pro + Everlast 82I

(following thru with posting because similar forum posts troubleshooting has not resolved the issue for me)

Everything had been working “fine” since my equipment arrived. Apart from some penny pinching grievances, I have been successfully cutting with this equipment. Now, my cable extenders finally came in so i can ACTUALLY place the controller on the leg stand as designed. Well i did that and now i am reading out 0 volts. I unplugged my laptop and disconnected the controller from the leg frame and still 0 volts.

I am fairly confident that I wired the THC correctly because i was cutting perfectly fine for a week and took a hiatus to wait for my cables to arrive, however now the print fails immediately and reads out warnings. Method of THC connection is wired direct to the lugs of the everlast 82I using the provided red and black torch and clamp cables into the thc module. from the thc module it is polugged into divided input and goes to the thc port on the controller.

The torch fires just fine, so no issues with torch on/off cable. XYZ movement perfect. IHS is plugged in with no active warnings. USB input works just fine. I have since emptied and refilled my water table to a deeper height, maybe 1/8" below the lip of the water table tray (previously maybe 1/4" shallower depth)

Please advise what action I should take to correct this issue. Thank you in advance

if you are wired it for raw voltage from the inside of the cutter then you should be using the PV OUTPUT on the VIM box NOT the div output.

Flipped the cable to PV output and now fire control crashes on step 3: thc resting voltage test. (Either way, it was running for a week with no issues in the configuration described in my previous message)

Also, if I run with the thc off, the job just fails the same, but no warning pop up or anything else confirming that anything at all even just happened. Very weird

Restarted both fire control, and the Langmuir controller. Made it through the tests and still 0 volts.

Did you put the torch back together correctly?
The deleted post you wanted to disassemble the torch. Just making sure thats not your problem.

Simple test would be to test fire the plasma cutter without the use of the table.

Remember, the plasma cutter works independently from that of the CNC table itself.

If the plasma cutter fires, then you know it works and helps to narrow your issue.

Start simple.
