Welcome aboard! I would suggest that you reach out to Premier Plasma tech support to ask about your height control problem. I would guess that displaying 3 dashes is not normal, and that perhaps it should be displaying the cut height. Is there a specific manual that came with your table discussing setup and operation of your thc? If it is always cutting 1/2" away from the material, then I would expect you are getting terrible cuts. Perhaps post some photos. In the mean time, perhaps disable your thc and set your cut height manually. With your Hypertherm 45xp, cut height for steel should be 0.060" with a pierce height of 0.150". Cut speeds are listed in the Hypertherm manual in the mechanized cutting section.
