Trigger signal enters the HF/control path before gas or HF actions.

LGK60L HF Arc-Start Board Reference
A service map for LGK60L high-frequency start, gas control and arc-start cutoff diagnosis.
Quick Answer
The LGK60L HF arc-start board links torch switch, gas-valve control, high-frequency supply, high-frequency arc-start and arc-start cutoff. This is the page to use when the machine has gas/HF timing issues rather than a simple no-power fault.
- Gas always on, no gas, HF always on and HF does not transfer are different control states.
- Separate gas-valve socket, torch-switch input and high-frequency supply before replacing the HF board.
- Arc-start cutoff is important: HF should not continue after normal arc transfer.
Use this page when
- LGK60L has gas or HF symptoms.
- Torch trigger produces some response.
- You need to decide between gas valve, torch switch, HF supply and HF board.
Do not use this page when
- Machine is fully dead.
- Fan/control-power fault is the only symptom.
- Input breaker trips immediately.
LGK60L HF board functional route
Use the HF board as a gas/trigger/start-cutoff service layer.
Controls solenoid output; distinguish no gas from always gas.
Supplies high-frequency start energy to the arc-start section.
High-frequency path should appear during start, not necessarily during normal cutting.
If HF continues after arc starts, diagnose cutoff/feedback path.
HF board fault evidence
| Symptom | Likely board layer | Repair direction |
|---|---|---|
| Power-on gas flow | Gas-valve output stuck or control signal stuck | Separate solenoid valve from HF board command. |
| Press torch, no gas | Torch switch, gas-valve socket, solenoid coil or control input | Check trigger input and gas-valve supply path. |
| Power-on HF | HF control stuck on | Inspect HF relay/control section and cutoff logic. |
| HF remains after arc starts | Arc-start cutoff failure | Check transfer feedback and cutoff path. |
| Gas and HF present but no arc | HF may not be the root fault | Move to output current, work return, torch consumables and main output path. |
