| Worn out electrode. | Inspect electrode and replace as necessary. |
| Cut height is too high. | If the pilot arc starts but does not transfer to the work piece, it is possible that the cut height is too high. Lower the cut height in 0.020" increments until continuity is achieved. Please consult your plasma cutter manufacturer for published cutting parameters for your specific model. |
| Ground clamp not making electrical continuity with workpiece. | If the pilot arc starts but does not transfer to the work piece, it is possible that the ground clamp is not making continuity to the work piece. Inspect that the ground clamp is properly attached. Also inspect that the plate is not sufficiently rusted or has a coating that will prevent continuity. |
| Plasma cutter is damaged. | Inspect that your plasma cutter is still working properly off of the machine. Remove the torch from the torch holder and perform a manual cut off of the machine. If the torch does not fire, it's possible that the plasma cutter or torch has malfunctioned and you will need to contact your plasma cutter manufacturer for resolution. |
| Torch wiring not hooked up correctly to Torch ON/OFF port on electronics enclosure | Inspect that the two wires are plugged in correctly to the Torch ON/OFF output jack on the electronics enclosure and that full continuity is made. |
| Torch wiring not hooked up correctly to plasma cutter trigger or CNC port. | Inspect that the wires going from the electronics enclosure at the Torch ON/OFF output jack are spliced in correctly to the plasma cutter torch trigger wires. You may need to use a multimeter to preform a continuity test by manually pulling the plasma torch trigger and testing for continuity between the two wires. |
| Electrical relay inside CrossFireTM electronics enclosure is malfunctioning. | If all other solutions fail to produce proper automatic torch firing, it is possible that the electrical relay within the electronics enclosure is not working properl |
