Title: Hypertherm 45 to Proma 150 THC to Gecko g540
Post by: jadog on September 05, 2013, 12:30:10 AM

Hey guys,
This is my first post so please be gentle :)  I'm so close and think I'm on the right track.
I have not found any instructions for wiring the Proma THC to the Gecko g540 and how to set up Mach 3 once the connections are made. I have a Hyprertherm 45.

I have attached three pictures that better illustrate what I have done and the questions I have.  

• I have Connected  Pins 5, 6 From My Hypertherm 45 to My Gecko g540 to Pin 12, 5 the Plasma Starts and Stops fine
• I have Connected  Pins 3, 4 From My Hypertherm 45 to My Proma Compact THC Controller 150 to -, + blocks like shown below.
• I then Connected this Plus and minus to my Gecko Power Supply. I can fire the torch and see the Arc Voltage displayed on the Screen.

The Problem is where do the   COM, DWN, ARC, and UP wires go on the Gecko Inputs?

COM ----  12 ?
DWN ---- Input 1 ?
ARC --- Output1 ?
UP ---- Input 2 ?
If this will work How do I then set up Mach 3?
