Torchmate AVHC died, help please.

[Larry Cameron]

Hi again folks, my Torchmate Blue Screen AVHC has died..... the last time it was a controller chip about 3 months ago. This time the whole unit has died and it is not the fuse. I cant see anything that is wrong it is just dead.
I know Torchmate dont support these any more and Onexia is the next port of call unless somebody has an old Blue Screen AVHC that they want to part with?
The query I have RIGHT NOW, is I was was 9/10ths the way through a large cut on 3mm corten plate. I have about 4 cuts to go.
Does anyone know how I bypass the Torchmate Blue screen AVHC to be able to manually move the torch down and then finish the cut. I dont know what wires in the back need to be joined to get the thing to pierce and cut.
I have torchamte 4 software.
Hypertherm powermax 45
Blue Screen AVHC and Torchmate lifter.
Help please.
Any instructions will have to be detailed as I am a bit of a technophobe.

Thanks
Larry

You would connect the two torch wires to the two start wires. In the TM 4 software, we need to see what execution commands you are using, Configuration > Programming > M Code Execution, if Feedrate Move is M20 then on the main screen you can change the statement If AVHC T/F and set it to False. If you are using M22 such that you are using multi-tool such as plasma and Plate Marker, then change the Feedrate Move to M20, and the above applies as well. If you change it to M20 make sure there is a M20 Macro under Programming > M-Code Definitions. When you change the main screen statement to False you can also enter a Pierce Delay such as 3.5 seconds.

Hi and thanks.
Attached is a pic from my screen.
So reading the above and from my pics I just change the AVHC to False not true and connect the correct torch to start wires? Do I just connect all 4 wires into 1 join?

Yes change AVHC to False and enter a Pierce Delay on the same screen. You would splice the wires together like you were going to extend their length. As in one of the Start wires connects to one of the Torch wires and the other Start wire connects to the other Torch wire.

Roger that. Thanks.
