K350 ADAPTER PROBLEMS

 

 

 

Since the K350 (-1) adapter is the communication link between the feeder and the power source,symptoms that

 

 

 

seem to indicate a defective feeder may be due to a defective adapter or control cable. If a working feeder and

 

cable is available, connecting it will help to isolate the problem. If this is not convenient, either replace the

 

adapter or follow the troubleshooting steps for the K350.
