MAN#650129A 

Motor travel distance differences

 

 

The PAC-3200 is designed to have the travel distance between the two motors to be very close to 

matching. If the travel needed of one motor in order to reach a preset position is much larger than the 
other, or if the direction of needed travel of one motor is different than the other, the motor with the 
furthest distance to travel will only move a short distance. The motors will then stop and the travel 
distance button light code will display. Pressing the preset button again will move the motor another short 
distance until the two motor

’s travel distance is close to matching.  

 

This is done to prevent excessive automatic movement of only one motor which could possibly 

cause damage. If this error code is displayed, examine the system before pressing the button again to 
verify no damage will occur. If the error happens often, consider adjusting the preset points so the motors 
are more closely matched in travel distance.
