Pneumatic Blast Control Circuit,
The main air regulator is stuck
open.
See
Repairing the Main Air Regulator,
(EQ600 – Kit 17C131, EQ300
– Kit 17C129).
The blast control tubing is not
connected properly.
Ensure air tubing is routed and connected
properly. See
Electric blast control circuit is
malfunctioning.
Inspect hose cable for damaged or
shorted wiring. Check battery and control
panel connections. Ensure DC power
source is 12V. Check 3A fuse inside
control panel and replace it if necessary.
Check current flow in circuit, if current
exists, replace relay (EQ5179).
The blast control is not
engaged but blasting still
occurs.
Pneumatic blast control circuit is
malfunctioning.
See
Pneumatic Blast Control Circuit,
Incorrect abrasive is being used.
Use the correct abrasive. See
Metering Valve Settings, page 16
The pot does not have a sufficient
amount of abrasive.
Refill the pot with abrasive. See
Refilling the Pot with Abrasive, page 18
.
The pot pressure setting is
incorrect.
Perform the pressure relief procedure
(see
Pressure Relief Procedure, page 8
and reset pot pressure (see
Setting Up the Equipment, page 11
).
The Auto-Vent valve does not vent
air when the pot is filled.
Make sure the Auto-Vent valve
is working. Perform the Auto-
Vent cleaning procedure (see
Cleaning the Auto-Vent Valve, page 31
The diaphragm valve is
malfunctioning.
Perform the diaphragm
flush procedure (see
Flushing the Diaphragm Valve, page 29
If flushing does not solve problem, see
Repairing the Diaphragm Valve, page 30
The blast spray pattern is
irregular.
There is blockage inside the pot or
inside the abrasive hose between
the pot and the panel.
Make sure the ball valve is closed, then
disconnect the cam-lock coupler. Open
the abrasive ball valve slightly and make
sure abrasive is flowing form the abrasive
hose. If not, follow the shut down
procedure (see
Thoroughly flush the pot and the media
hose after draining media and water.
