If that were the case then it should give a lost arc error. Apparently there are no error messages.

Strange, if air starts to flow the torch had to be triggered.
If disabling arc OK does not work, I think its time to look at arc ok, torch on and torch voltage in halscope when the torch attempts to start.

When I look back, I don't think using the hand torch confirms the machine torch is OK but it does confirm the inverter is OK. PLease review Tommy's post too.

If there was an issue in the torch, the parts in place error would not allow air flow.

The only other possible issue is poor connection on the high voltage side. Torch connections, ground clamp etc. But in my experience, Plasmac would report a fault as you state.
Manually short the relevant torch on pins (1&2 from an earlier thread) to see if it fires.

Press F9 on the keyboard, wait for at least 60 seconds, press F9 again.
Report exactly what is happening.

What is it with you and F9?

WTF does F9 do?

/EDIT AH! I found it....
