FUNCTION PROBLEMS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The control panel displays cannot

 

 

None

 

 

 

1.

Check for loose connections at

 

 

 

be read. The characters run, dis-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

plug J3 on the control board.

 

 

 

play only half characters, or ran-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dom dots may appear on display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

The display may be faulty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Replace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

The control board may be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

faulty. Replace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The voltmeter always reads “00” .

 

 

None

 

 

 

1.

Check the continuity of leads

 

 

 

The machine output is normal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#305 and #313C and their con-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

nections to the machine output

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

studs. Refer to wiring diagram.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

The Control board may be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

faulty. Check for machine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“open citcuit voltage” at 5J6

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and 12J6 on the Control board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If open circuit voltage is pre-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sent then replace the Control

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

If open circuit voltage is not

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

present at 5J6 and 12J6 (see

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure F.1) then check the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Protection/Snubber board. See

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Protection/Snubber Board

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Continuity Test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The control panel display back-

 

 

None

 

 

 

1.

Check for loose connector (P3)

 

 

 

ground is dark instead of red. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

at the Control board.

 

 

 

machine operates normally.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

The Control board may be

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

faulty. Disconnect P3 from the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Control board. Check voltage

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from 1J3 to 2J3 on the board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See Figure F.1. The voltage

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

should be 15 to 20vdc. If the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

voltage is not

correct then

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

replace the Control board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

If the Control board is good

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then the Display may be faulty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Replace Display.
