TaskLink also allows you to download device data from a file on your
PC. TaskLink sends the PE information on the data file format and then
downloads the file. The PE translates the formatting information in the
file, discards all formatting characters and stores the data in RAM. The
PE signals TaskLink when it completes writing the file data into RAM.
TaskLink then sends the “program” command to the PE and the device is
programmed.
Conditions Requiring Corrective Action
To run the diagnostic tests and to make some of the adjustments, you
must operate the 2500 from its front panel in
local
mode. You cannot run
the tests using TaskLink.
To access the front panel from remote mode, press
LOWER CASE
+
L
. To
return to remote mode after completing the diagnostics and adjustments,
press
LOWER CASE
+
R
from the Main Menu.
Device Jams
The optics detect stopped or jammed devices and alert you to the
condition. Some common causes for device jams are listed below.
• The track width is not adjusted correctly for the device in the track.
• A partially full output tube was inserted in the tube holder. TaskLink
assumed the tube was empty and sent too many devices to the tube.
• The number of parts per tube is incorrect.
• The track is dirty so devices cannot travel smoothly.
• A device has bent leads that cause it to become wedged in the narrow
track.
• A device has foreign material (such as residual label adhesive) on the
surface.
• The output track air pressure is set too low for the size of the device.
• The transition height between the output tracks and the tubes is
incorrect. Adjust the output transition height screw (for the affected
track) for the correct tube thickness.
If a jam occurs in the output track and the 2500 stops operating, push the
jammed device with a wood or plastic pointer into the tube. When you
free the device, either the 2500 resumes operation automatically or you
may need to press
START
to continue operation.
If a device does not move easily down the input track due to bent pins or
some other condition, you might have to remove that device from the
input track and resume operation by pressing
START
or by restarting the
Task.
If a device falls off the chuck, replace it, press
START
and follow the
prompts on the 2500’s display. If the system times out, press
STOP
and
then
START
.
