NOTICE

FAILURE TO DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE REMOVING CIRCUIT BOARDS WILL RESULT IN
DAMAGE AND VOID WARRANTY.

SYMPTOM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

REMEDY

No Power LED

Polarity reversed

Check wiring and reverse polarity

Power LED On But No
Operation

Low voltage due to:

- wire gauge too small

- wire length too long

- poor connection

- inadequate apparatus electrical system

Check connections and wiring per Remote Control (RC)
Monitor Electrical Controls Supplemental Instructions.

Verify voltage is above 9 volts.

Monitor Disable Interlock turned on

Raise TFT RC Extend-A-Gun

Operation only from monitor
operator station. PARK, &
OSC LED’s on remote station
blink slowly when button
pressed

Incorrect wiring

Check blue/white communication wiring

Bad communication board

Replace communication board in monitor. If problem
persists, replace communication board in remote
operator station.

Monitor will not operate from
any station and PARK & OSC
LED’s on monitor are on
solid.

Bad communication board

Replace communication board in monitor.

During PARK pattern, monitor
stops and PARK LED stays
on solid.

Monitor has hit an obstruction before end
of travel is reached.

Remove obstruction and run PARK pattern again.

Manual override knob has been moved
with power off.

Move monitor axis to each end stop making sure motor
current limits. Run PARK pattern again.

Operation only from monitor
control station

Communication board code version
incompatible

Verify code versions on monitor and all operator
stations

One Axis Fails To Operate
From Any Control Station

Loose motor wiring connection

Check axis motor connection

Bad motor control board

Interchange motor control boards and check if problem
persists with same axis, If not, replace motor control
board.

Bad motor

Interchange motor control boards. Check if problem
persists with same axis, If yes, replace motor.

Bad membrane switch

Replace membrane switch / operator station

Vertical/Horizontal axis will
not speed up

Loose encoder wiring connection

Check axis encoder connection

Bad motor encoder

Interchange motor control boards. Check if problem
persists with same axis. If yes, replace motor.

Remove encoder cover and check for RED light just
below disk. If no light, encoder is bad. Replace motor.

Vertical/Horizontal axis runs
only in fast speed

Loose encoder wiring connection

Check axis encoder connection

Bad motor encoder

Interchange motor control boards. Check if problem
persists with same axis. If yes, replace motor.

Remove encoder cover and check for RED light just
below disk. If no light, encoder is bad. Replace motor.

Vertical/Horizontal axis only
runs ~5 seconds and then
stops.

Loose encoder wiring connection

Check axis encoder connection

Bad motor encoder

Interchange motor control boards. Check if problem
persists with same axis. If yes, replace motor.

Remove encoder cover and check for RED light just
below disk. If no light, encoder is bad. Replace motor.

PARK & OSC LED’s on
monitor control station blink
rapidly when button pressed.

Loose encoder wiring connection

Check axis encoder connection

Bad motor encoder

Interchange motor control boards. Check if problem
persists with same axis. If yes, replace motor.

Remove encoder cover and check for RED light just
below disk. If no light, encoder is bad. Replace motor.
