experiment and when the system will not
be operated again for more than one day.
See section 3.16 for instructions.
E.
Achieving
the
highest
possible
combinations of % elongation and
frequency:
a)
Shorten the
FLEX IN
,
FLEX OUT
,
and
SYSTEM
tubing
to
their
minimum
possible
lengths.
See
section 2.2 for minimum lengths.
b)
Use a more powerful vacuum source if
recommended specs are not being
reached with the current vacuum
source (see section 2.4).
5. SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: If the Flex Jr.
™
system is not functioning
properly and the solution is not clearly outlined or
defined below, please contact Flexcell
®
before
attempting any repairs.
Problem 1: Regimen wave is flatlining
Solution 1:
Remove the
SYSTEM
vacuum line at the
back of the FlexLink
®
and check to be sure
that there is vacuum coming through the line.
Check the
VENT
port at the back of the
FlexLink
®
when the system is running to see
if air is moving in or out. If not, it is possible
that the valves are locked due to residue
buildup. Try applying positive pressure to the
VENT
port to free the valves.
If the regimen wave is flatlining but the plates
are still cycling air pressure, try the following:
Disconnect the blue 1/4" (6.4mm)
FLEX IN
tubing from the back of the unit and place a
finger over the end of the tubing while a
regimen is running. If air is cycling at the
end of the tubing then the problem is with
the Flex Jr.
™
Tension FlexLink
®
. Contact
Flexcell
®
International
for
further
instructions.
Problem 2: Regimen wave is fluttering or
not smooth
Solution 2:
This problem could be due to water in
the valves or miscalibration. Run the drying
regimen with the drying filter (as described
in the manual) to dry the system and valves.
If this does not resolve the problem try
running the drying regimen once more. If the
problem continues, contact Flexcell
®
for
further instructions.
