If any position fails to turn, this indicates either a defective motor drive on the CPU board If all positions
turn, this verifies that pump drivers are good.
Viscosity High Error
Definition:
The Citronix printer constantly monitors the ink viscosity by filling the viscometer with flesh ink from the
Ink Tank at each fill. This fill process pushes a ball in the viscometer to the top of the tube and then the
firmware counts the time (in seconds) that it takes for the ball to each a sensor at the bottom of the tube.
The viscosity must be maintained while the printer is running (ink stream) in order to print good quality
prints. When the ink is high the printer firmware automatically adds Make-up to thin the ink down. All of
the Citronix inks are solvent based and therefore tend to thicken up while running thru evaporation and
printing. When the viscosity gets 1.5cP higher than the set point, this error/fault will be displayed.
Corrective Action:
1. Ensure there is Makeup in the Makeup tank and the Pickup tube is fully seated into the quick
connect filling (bottom of the Makeup manifold).
2. Ensure all the Fill caps are on tight.
3. Ensure the Ink and Makeup Manifolds are properly fitted and there is no cuts, gaps, or holes in
the Manifold seals and that the manifold locking cams are engaged. This deduces evaporation.
4. Check the Makeup Add Valve for operation by using the [Test Valve] screen in the Service
Menu
5. Ensure the Makeup lines to and from the filter module are fully primed.
