Troubleshooting
4-1
Chapter 4. Troubleshooting
This chapter shows you how to respond to the fault codes that display on the Individual Beam
Indicators (IBIs) on the Shadow 8 Main Receiver and test and repair a few Shadow 8
components.
Shadow 8 has complex electronics. You should not attempt to test or repair components on
the Shadow 8 circuit boards unless authorized to do so. Circuit board testing and repair
should be left to technicians trained in Shadow 8 operation.
There are a few tests and repairs, however, that you can perform yourself. In many cases, you
can get an inoperative Shadow 8 working again just by changing a blown fuse, replacing the
control Relay board, or re-aligning Shadow 8 heads.
If you find serious problems, the defective component (optic head or circuit board) must be
factory-repaired. However, once you know which unit is bad, you may be able to substitute
another unit for the faulty one until the repairs are made.
Troubleshooting with Fault Codes
The Individual Beam Indicators (IBIs) at the pigtail end of the Main Receiver display fault
codes indicating problems that must be corrected in order to return Shadow 8 to a Curtains
Unobstructed state. These codes are displayed on the IBIs whenever the Machine Run/Stop
LED indicator is illuminated red and the yellow Interlock/Alarm LED indicator is flashing.
Codes are two digits except for the “100” and “101” codes (see Table 4-1, page 4-2).
Two-digit codes are represented by two strings of consecutively illuminated, flashing IBIs
separated by an unlit IBI and terminated by a string of unlit IBIs (see Figure 4-1, page 4-2,
which uses fault code “34” as an example). The string of IBIs for the first digit begins at the
first IBI at the pigtail end of the Main Receiver.
PERFORM ONLY AUTHORIZED REPAIRS
• Replace only the power fuse and control Relay board.
• Obtain replacement fuse and Relay board from Wintriss Controls.
• DO NOT replace any other components. If you do, this will violate the warranty.
• Ensure that repairs are made by qualified personnel. Improper repair by unqualified personnel
may put operators at risk of injury.
Failure to comply with these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
DO NOT MAKE OR BREAK CONNECTIONS WITH POWER ON
Power down Shadow 8 before connecting or disconnecting any wiring at the control, transmitter or
receiver.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in property damage.
