12. Emergency Menus
Depress the
MENU
key until the following screen appears:
* I/O EMERGENCY
REROUTE MENUS
The machine has 5 infrared pass thru sensors that can
fail from getting sloppy with the lane oil, and not keeping
the machine clean. This set of menus will allow the
functions of one sensor to be taken over by another. In
other words, we have backup systems.
Depress the
NEXT
key, the following screen will appear:
TACH 15 =>LDS 14
REROUTE?? NO
The LDS (lane distance sensor) is mounted on the rear of
the machine and the Drive Shaft “Tach Sensor” is located on
the left side of the machine.
If either of these sensors fail it will cause the
machine to display the error message “FORWARD TRAVEL
INTERRUPTED” every time you try to start the machine. If it
is an intermittent failure you may even get the message
“REVERSE TRAVEL INTERRUPTED” periodically with no apparent
obstruction that causes the drive wheels to slip.
When “in a pinch” either the LDS or the TACH Sensor can
be by-passed so that all functions of the LDS can be
transferred to the TACH and vice-versa. When the LDS is by-
passed both forward and reverse travel error messages will
be turned OFF. By-passing the LDS also permits the machine
to operate without being on the lane. This may be helpful
to trouble-shoot problems that occur in mid-cycle.
