AutoSet 1500 Troubleshooting
AutoSet Alarms
AutoSet 1500 is designed to let you know when fault conditions occur. This chapter
explains the faults that occur when AutoSet shuts down the press and how to correct
them. Four types of faults are explained here:
•
When AutoSet detects an overload condition (high setpoint exceeded)
•
When AutoSet displays an offset error
Before you reset AutoSet
Before you reset AutoSet, you want to be sure that you have completely corrected the
problem, and that you have determined if the press shutdown because of a nuisance stop
or a tonnage fault. Here is the difference between the two:
A nuisance stop occurs when setpoints are so tight that normal variations in
tonnage cause AutoSet to shutdown the press.
A tonnage fault occurs when the tonnage has fluctuated enough to exceed the
high and/or repeatability setpoints being used by the load monitor. A fault
may be caused by a various die malfunctions. To correct the problem,
carefully inspect the die area.
WARNING
If the press stopped due to a real fault, do not continue until you
have completely corrected the problem! Failure to do so will
result in damage to the press and tooling.
The next sections explain how AutoSet displays different fault conditions, and how to
resolve each.
