P40 Board Opening Map

This is the fast internal opening map for P40 once torch-stack, clamp, and air-path causes are already bounded.

Open Only After Proving

fresh SG55 front-end stack is already fitted or ruled out
clamp and current return are already healthy
dry air at about 65 psi / 4.5 bar under flow and the correct test point are already proven
starter cartridge or moving front-end piece moves freely

Board or internal group	Open first when...	Key connector or checkpoint	Best local file to open first
HF branch	there is no HF or very weak HF after torch and gap proof	HF branch and `24 VDC` support path to the start circuit	`B.067RM.418-C_HF.pdf`
Control board and interlock path	HF appears present but there is no usable OCV or cut output	control-side interlocks and support signals	`B.067RM.410-C_control.pdf`
Main power section	fan voltage drifts, the machine blinks, or switch-power behavior looks wrong	main-power section separated from the HF and control boards	`B.067RM.419-C_main.pdf` and `P40_电路图.png`
Torch-stack confirmation	air flows but the machine still will not cut, or the complaint shifts with warm or wet air	front-end stack order, starter-cartridge movement, purge contamination check, and gas-orifice path	`P40_parts_breakdown.pdf`

Keep HF, control, and main power separated. P40 complaints often tempt technicians to blame the HF board too early.
Use the workbook symptom split together with the right schematic, not one or the other by itself.
If the support rail is wrong, stay in the power-supply branch before changing control or HF boards.

If the opening pass shows the complaint still belongs to the SG55 torch stack or consumable branch, leave the board map and use the official ordering flow instead.

Stop and go back to the torch stack if front-end order or gas path is still unproven.
Stop and go back to the air branch if pressure under flow is not staying around 65 psi / 4.5 bar.
Stop and go back to the torch branch if the starter cartridge does not move freely or contamination shows during the purge-style check.
Stop and return to the external branch if clamp placement or return-path quality still changes transfer.
Stop and return to the full guide if HF, control, and main-power evidence remain mixed after the first opening pass.
