Drive System Problems Indicated by Error Messages
Problems that display errors are easily corrected and happen for definite reasons.
Forward and Reverse Travel Errors normally happen when LDS
Input 0CH 07 fails to go
off and on as the lane distance wheels turn. When the motor is turned on an error
counter is also activated at the same time. If the LDS does not constantly reset the
counter every 2.4 seconds, a travel error will be displayed. We’ve made a list of a few
things that can cause a
Forward or Reverse Travel Error .
In a pinch, it is possible to bypass the LDS sensor so that the operator may finish
conditioning the lanes. Simply press the “LDS BYPASS” button. If the machine powers
down, the machine will automatically reset to the normal operating setting.

1. The drive motor runs but gives a
Forward or Reverse Travel Error .
a. Machine is not seated on the lane, there are high gutters, or the drive wheels
are slipping.
b. LDS signal has failed or the LDS shaft is binding.
c. Wire is loose or broken for the 0CH 07 Input circuit.
d. Turn the LDS shaft and see if Input 0CH 07 is flashing on the PLC as the wheels
rotate.
e. Machine Acceleration trimpot needs to be adjusted. This problem will show up
the most often in the pit when the machine does the squeegee wipe function.
There will also be an error code flashing on the speed control board when the
ACCEL needs to be adjusted. A clockwise turn of the trimpot will be needed.
f. Machine Deceleration trimpot needs to be adjusted. This problem will show up
when the machine enters the pit or returns to the foul line in clean only. This is
when the machine shifts from high speed to 14 or 10 IPS. There will also be an
error code flashing on the speed control board when the DECEL needs to be
adjusted. A clockwise turn of the trimpot will be needed.
