SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION
THEORY OF OPERATION
FAULTS
The Sharp SX™ has been designed to alert the
operator, via the Touchscreen, to a situation (fault)
that requires immediate attention. These faults
may indicate a serious condition where, if not
corrected, damage to the unit may occur or the
fault may simply alert the operator that the unit has
run out of film. The following is a list of possible
faults that may occur during operation. A detailed
list of faults, causes and solutions can be found in
the
Troubleshooting
section of this manual.
•
WEB DID NOT BACK UP
The machine reverses the drive rollers to separate
the web of bags at the perforation. The bagger has
a photo eye that it uses to detect the trailing edge
of the bag. When the photo eye does not detect
this trailing edge within the allowed time, this fault
is triggered.
•
JAW FAULT
The Obstruction Sensing Jaw has detected an
object in the sealing area during the sealing
operation.
•
OBSTRUCTION SENSING JAW TIMER
FAULT
The Obstruction Sensing Jaw did not close within
the preset time, but there was no obstruction
sensed.
•
THERE ARE NO BAGS COVERING THE EYE
This fault is triggered when the machine cycle is
initiated and the photo eye is not activated.
•
BATCH IS COMPLETE
This message is activated when the bagger has
cycled the specified number of times set by the
operator under Batch Target.
Batch Target – A predetermined number of cycles
that will be completed before the machine will
automatically stop.
•
WAITING FOR PRINTER SIGNAL*
The bagger has sent a print signal to the printer
and is waiting for a return signal.
*
Note: This fault will only occur if the Sharp SX
™
is
equipped with an imprinter.
