Defective platen.

To check platen:

 

 

Use an Ohm meter to test resistance of the platen heater

 

 

(disconnect 1 wire to isolate heater). Correct cold resis-

 

 

tance for heating element of platen are as follows:

 

 

120 Volts, 1750 Watts - 7.8 Ohms

 

 

208 Volts, 2550 Watts - 16.2 Ohms

 

 

230 Volts, 1900 Watts - 26.5 Ohms

 

 

VCT-20 only. The auxiliary heaters are 144.2 Ohms at

 

 

208V/300 Watts.

 

Defective or wrong drive

To check drive motor:

 

motor.

1.Measure resistance of motor coil. Replace motor if coil

 

 

measures either open circuit or zero resistance.

 

 

2.Mark the drive motor sprocket and count the turns per

 

 

minute. Correct drive motor speed is nine (9) turns per

 

 

minute for VCT-20; three (3) turns per minute for VCT-
