ERROR 9 - Blocked or dirty exit sensor

Blocked or dirty exit sensor

Help

Air burst

Buzzer

Continue

POSSIBLE CAUSE:

This will occur if the exit (optical) sensor in the PDM Dispenser becomes obstructed due to a

cable tie or excess debris (dirt, grime, etc.) on the lens. The cable tie will remain in the dispenser or the end of the
PHM Feeder Hose that is attached to the dispenser. When this occurs, the tool cannot be actuated until the cable tie
is cleared from the system or hose.

CORRECTIVE ACTION:

Press the

"Buzzer"

button to turn the buzzer signal "off". Disconnect feeder hose from

dispenser. Look for cable tie in dispenser connector block and remove cable tie, if present. Reconnect feeder hose,
and resume operation. If the cable tie is not found, reconnect the feeder hose. Straighten the feeder hose to
eliminate any bends or twists and point the tool away from yourself and others. Press the

"Air burst"

button to

provide a burst of air to dislodge and advance the cable tie to the jaw area of the tool. The

"Air Burst"

button can be

pressed again if the cable tie does not advance to the jaw area. When the cable tie is advanced to the tool jaw area,
the "Tie in tool" message will appear and the buzzer will sound. Press the

"Buzzer"

button to turn the buzzer signal

"off". Remove the cable tie from the jaw area and then press the

"Continue"

button. Press the

"Load"

button to

load one cable tie into the dispenser and continue operation. (If

"Load"

does not appear, press the

"MENU"

button

to bring up the

"Reset"

display. Press the

"Reset load"

button to bring up the “Load, Unload, Menu” display.) If the

cable tie does not advance to the tool jaw area after depressing the

"Air Burst"

button several times, replace the

feeder hose with another and notify your maintenance department.

PREVENTION:

If this same error is repeated, the dispenser exit sensor lens may be cleaned with a cotton swab

dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Disconnect the feeder hose from the dispenser and insert the dampened end of
the cotton swab into the dispenser transfer tube about 1.5" (38 mm). Gently move the cotton swab in and out,
against the top and bottom walls of the transfer tube, to clean the sensor.
