with thicker material uses. Testing of the delay may be necessary to find the timing that

allow for consistent reading of the material before the plasma creation is initiated.
In all cases the M code 51 setting should be set in a range from 1 to 1.5 seconds, to
allow for air to wash over the consumables in an effort to cool them, prior to the next

Troubleshooting
If the air comes on prior to a torch ignition, but the torch does not fire, check to see if
there are any warning lights flashing or continuously lit which are displaying a
malfunction on your plasma unit. If so, check your plasma unit’s manual for
troubleshooting help, or call the Technical Support of the manufacturer for preventive
and/or corrective measures.
