Troubleshooting

Programmable Skipline Controller

PROBLEM

CAUSE

 

SOLUTION

 

 

 

 

Controller not turning on

Fuse, battery, or wiring

1.

Check fuse located next to 12V

 

 

 

RoadLazer battery.

 

 

2.

Check battery voltage. Replace if

 

 

 

necessary.

 

 

3.

Inspect wiring at battery for corro-

 

 

 

sion. Inspect control cable for dam-

 

 

 

age.

 

 

 

 

Controller shutting down or cutting out

Battery or wiring

1.

Check battery voltage. A weak bat-

during striping

 

 

tery can drop voltage low enough to

 

 

 

cause intermittent shut down.

 

 

2.

Check wiring.

 

 

3.

Ground control box to vehicle chas-

 

 

 

sis.

 

 

 

 

System Delay not turning on

System not configured for striping or is

1.

Remove gun arm from stowed posi-

 

shut off

 

tion, and start up engine. System

 

 

 

delay will not turn on unless you are

 

 

 

ready to stripe.

 

 

2.

System Delay must be turned back

 

 

 

on after engine is turned off.

 

 

 

 

Controller not displaying MPH (KM/H),

Gun arm sensor or sensor wiring

1.

Check sensor (524) located on gun

or readout is erratic

 

 

arm wheel assembly. Set sensor

 

 

 

approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm) from

 

 

 

target plate.

 

 

2.

Check sensor head for damage.

 

 

 

Replace if damaged.

 

 

3.

Check sensor wiring by removing

 

 

 

solenoid valve cover (519).

 

 

 

 

System Delay actual distance not pre-

Programmed distance needs fine tuning

1.

This is usually true. Get it as close as

cisely matching programmed distance

 

 

possible, then spray one additional

 

 

 

test line and try to hit the start point.

 

 

2.

Measure difference between start

 

 

 

point and where paint guns turn on. If

 

 

 

paint guns turn on before start point,

 

 

 

add measured difference to current

 

 

 

system delay distance. If paint guns

 

 

 

turn on after start point, subtract

 

 

 

measured difference.
