WARNINGS
All warnings are cleared automatically, except for Error code 05.
It is possible to cancel a warning, but when the error remains, the warning will return after 60 seconds. This
provides the operator enough time to solve the problem without having the alarm reactivate.
Error 00 “Low hopper level” [free programmable]
If this warning appears the material in the hopper is below the hopper empty weight
1.5 lb {700 g}.
In CONFIGURATIONS menu this setting can be changed.
- Ensure there is enough material in the hopper.
- Check the hopper empty setting in CONFIGURATIONS menu.
- Ensure that the hopper loader is working correctly.
Error 01 “Maximum deviation exceeded” [free programmable]
If this warning appears, the feeding output (grams/sec) is consistently not within set
percentage. See page 17 for more information.
Error 02 “Filling system unable to load material”
If this warning appears, the alarm time (ME hopper loader) or alarm cycles (MV
hopper loader) are exceeded.
- Ensure there is enough material.
- Ensure that the material is not stuck somewhere.
- Check the operation of the hopper loader.
- Check the hopper loader settings.
Error 03 “Maximum RPM exceeded, change feeding tool for higher capacity”
Calculated motor speed is higher than the maximum of 200 RPM.
- Check the material output at 200 RPM.
- Check the production settings.
- Increase the feeding time (if possible).
- Try another dispensing cylinder with higher output, for example an A20 feed screw.
Error 05 “Calibration, no weight change”
No weight change while calibrating (See Chapter 7.6).
- Ensure there is enough material in the hopper.
- Ensure that the material is not stuck in the dispensing cylinder.
- Ensure that the load cell is connected correctly.
- Check the weight data by performing a weight check (See Chapter 7.5).
- Ensure that there are no vibrations that may have influence.
- Check the rotation direction of the dispensing cylinder. Front view to the right
(Clockwise).
Error 06 “EX-Hi Hi level”
- Ensure that the knife gate valve is in the closed position.
- Check if the knife gate is sliding.
- Ensure that the parameters for EX-H level and EX-HH levels are set correct.
Error 07 “Minimum motor speed < 0.1 RPM”
Calculated motor speed is lower than the minimum of 0.5 RPM.
- Ensure there is enough material in the hopper.
- Check the production settings.
- Decrease the feeding time (if possible).
- Try another dispensing with lower output, for example a GL-cylinder.
- Check the rotation direction of the dispensing cylinder. Front view to the right
(Clockwise).
