Parameter Setting or Thickness Measuring Unit is defective.
Solution: Increase Head Penetration Depth; Check if Lock Mechanism is Releasing; Verify Grounding; Replace the Head
Measuring Frequency is Too High or Too Low
Solution: Procure and Send Service Archive

For any capacitive thickness sensor, it is important that the Measuring Electronics has a stable temperature. The only way to achieve this is to heat the measuring electronics up to a temperature which is higher than ambient (Sensor) temperature. Expect up to a minute for this to finish
Solution: Verify: Temp of Measuring Electronics (ME) > Temp of Sensor; Ensure Temp Contorl Mode is set to ‘Manual’, Increase the Target if < ME (per GUI)
Too Much Bubble Flutter
Solution: Check for Excessive Bubble Flutter; Increase Penetration Depth;
Penetration Depth Too Much
Solution: Decrease Penetration Depth
Solution: Head stuck on ‘Warmup Waiting’ > 1 minute Ensure the Fan on the back of the Head is Operational
Solution: Check CAN Cable Connections; Perform CAN Bus Checks
Using WebGUI: OVERVIEW/THICKNESS GAUGE/System, the issue will show FF00 or similar, whereas a properly Communicating CAN Node will show 0507 or similar
Solution: Check CAN Cable Connections; Perform CAN Bus Checks
Radial Not finding the Rear Limit
Solution: Is the Rear Limit LED Continuously Flashing (faulty – replace) Check LEDs on E-1222 Radial PCB; Replace E-1322
Solution: Requires Minimum 40mm Retract Distance; Is the Bubble Diameter too Big? Die Centered? (Bubble Eccentricity – 10mm Tolerance) Check/Clean Bubble Sensor
Bubble Break or too much Flutter
Solution: Increase Penetration
No Communication to Control System
Solution: Re-Install VDP Software.
Solution: Clean/Replace Ultra Sonic Sensor; Confirm proper LED activity; Possible VDP Software Mis-Match w/ E-1322 – Reload GC Latest
Using WebGUI: OVERVIEW/THICKNESS GAUGE/System, the issue will show FF00 or similar, whereas a properly Communicating CAN Node will show 0507 or similar
Solution: Check CAN Cable Connections; Perform CAN Bus Checks
Zero Position Detection Earlier than Expected
Solution: Possible Faulty Zero Position Sensor; Faulty Rotation PCB; False Flag Detection
Zero Position Detection Longer than Expected
Solution: Possible Hindrance; Toothbelt Slippage; Traveler Bearings Worn; Motor and/or SMC Not Functional; Ensure Zero Position Sensor is Clean and 1 to 2 mm gap
Zero Position Detection Low
Solution: Ensure the Track Size per WebGUI Matches Actual; Ensure Zero Position Sensor is Clean and 1 to 2mm gap
Motorized Traveler is Detected to Not Be Moving
Solution: Possible Faulty Rotation SMC; Faulty Motor; Faulty Large Cable Chain (CAN Cable). Motorized Traveler Mounted Limit Switch Lever Jammed
‘ ‘Enable Signal’ is Missing – Valid only for W&H
Solution: Check for the 24 Volt ‘Enable’ Signal – Pin 2 on X59 (WH PC –> Control Box); Check for the ‘Release’ Signal on the WebGUI; CPU H7 Indicates ‘Active’
Solution: Track Mounted Limit Physically Stuck
Using WebGUI: OVERVIEW/THICKNESS GAUGE/System, the issue will show FF00 or similar, whereas a properly Communicating CAN Node will show 0507 or similar
Solution: Check CAN Cable Connections; Perform CAN Bus Checks
