TroubleShooting
“WireAlarm”Sounds
 Checkforwirejamsatmachineorde‐reeler. 

Checkwirestraighteneradjustment(wirestraightenerisanoptionalaccessory).
Pressureonwiremaybetoohigh. 

Checkencoderwheelfromfreerotation.Pushspringloadedwheelawayfromencoder
wheel,thenspinencoderwheel.Itismountedonballbearingsandshouldrotatefreely.


Makesurethatthefirstwirefeedtubeisnotrubbingagainsttheencoderwheels. 
WireLengthNotAccurate
 Checkwirelengthcalibration.Thenumberinthelowerrightcornerofthecalibration
viewingscreenshouldbecloseto0.025.Ifnecessary,press3toresetwirecalibration
(shouldresetto0.025).


Checkde‐reelerforsmoothoperation.Aneasycheckistohandfeedthewiretothe
machinesothatthereisnorestriction.Ifthecutwiresbecomeaccurate,thenthe
problemisinthede‐reeling.


