8.3 TROUBLE SHOOTING
FAULT CHECK PROBABLE CAUSE
The machine is on but there is
nothing on the display. check that the fan on the
back of the machine is
working: YES a) emergency button activated
b) general fuses cut out on power socket
c) ON switch on back of machine in OFF position
d) power lead disconnected
e) fuse F4 or F3 cut out
NO b) connection cable between display and electronic circuit board badly placed
c) display faulty
The cutter motor is not
turning: a) the closed safety shield is not touching the safety microswitch properly.
b) fuse F6 or F7 on the motor circuit board cut out.
c) motor cable is not properly inserted into the connector
d) electronic circuit board faulty.
e) fuse F5 cut out
Display shows the words
“Cutting or decoding in pro-
gress, etc..” but the X-Y-Z axes
are not moving and no buttons
are enabled. Check the cut-out fuse F2 on the circuit board.
Check the X-Y-Z axis motors with test digital inlets
Check the X axis connection cable
The connection cables for the X-Y-Z axes to the circuit board are not properly fixed or the connectors are not inserted
properly
Electronic circuit board faulty.
The display shows the
message “close safety shield”
when it is already closed. a) the closed safety shield is not touching the microswitch properly
b) fuse F4 on the control circuit board cut out
The keypad is not working
(partially or entirely). a) the keypad connector is not properly inserted in the interface circuit board
b) the connection cable between the keypad/display unit and circuit board is not properly inserted into the relative
connectors
c) keypad faulty
d) control circuit board faulty

ing the tracer point on the
TRACER TOWER device re-
peatedly strikes the clamp or
key. The earth wire on the (F3) Tracer Tower is disconnected or broken (Fig. 65)
The earth wire (J3) in the X axis carriage is disconnected or badly secured
The connecting wire to the J14M connector on the circuit board is not properly inserted into the relative connector.
Control circuit board faulty.
The keys used have no electric conductivity (Ultralite anodized aluminium keys, plastic keys...)
When calibrating the clamp or
decoding the U103 tracer point
repeatedly strikes the calibra-
tion plate. The earth wire (C2) on the cutter shaft is disconnected or broken (Fig. 66)
The connecting wire to the J14M connector on the electronic circuit board is not inserted properly into the relative
connector.
There is swarf on the top part of the cutter shaft.
Control circuit board faulty.
The key-cutting machine
cannot communicate with the
computer.
a) connection wire between the 9-pin serial port (or USB) and the circuit board badly inserted or disconnected
b) serial cable (or USB) between key-cutting machine and computer is faulty or disconnected
c) computer serial port (or USB) faulty
d) control circuit board faulty
The display shows the
message:
“TEMPERATURE ALARM
Switch off the machine”. Check that the fan on the
back of the machine is
working: not working a) fan faulty or badly connected
b) control circuit board faulty
working a) control circuit board faulty
