Description

Picture
The more common statements regarding over-current
sweep and elevation issues are…
*The Control Panel should read: “Over-Current Sweep
Motor Error”. or “Over-Current Elevation Motor
Error”. ´´Feedback Elevation Error´´, or ´´Feedback
Sweep Motor Error´´.
*Before Taking the Upper Hopper Unit off, please Make
sure the 4 Wings holding the Upper Hopper Unit to the
Base Unit are finger tightened, and not over tighten, for
over tightening these Wings can cause an Over-Current
Sweep Error.
•“My machine has Over-current error
message.”
•´´My machine has an Feedback error
message.´´
•“My machine turns a lot then gets stuck to
the right.”
•“My elevation moves all the way up and
stops after the elevation is pointing toward
the sky.”
This indicates one of the following:
•The sweep is not finding home location.
(Section 1. Checking the Sweep Magnet).
•The Elevation is not finding home location.
(Section 2. Checking the Elevation Magnet).
•The wires have become loosened from the
vein harness. (Section 3. Checking the
Sensor Connections).
•The Sweep and Elevation Snap-In sensors
have become loosened from the motors.
(Section 4. Checking the Snap-In sensor
connections).
•The Timing Discs are stuck, and need to be
rotated to free them. (Section 5. Checking
Timing Discs).

Disconnecting The Phenom Hopper Unit and Base
Unit.
Step 1.) Unscrew the 4 wing screws (D) and washers
(C) from the bottom of the Base Unit (E). ( Pull these
items out and set them aside for later use. )
Step 2.) Disconnect the Wire Connector (B) allowing
you to completely separate the Hopper Unit (A) from the
Base Unit (E). Use 2 people to carefully set the Hopper
Unit (A) upside down, so that the bottom plate is
exposed.

Removing The Hopper Unit Casing From The
Internal Platform Assembly
Step 1.) CAREFULLY remove the 10 screws connecting
the Base Platform to the Hopper Unit. (The Base
Platform Pims are very sensitive, use caution when
unscrewing these screws.)
Step 2.) Remove the 4 black screws fastening the
control board to the Hopper Unit. Unplug the Feed Motor
wire and unscrew the ground wire (Diagram A.) on the
control panel.
Step 3.) Using two people have one person lift the
Platform piece out of the Hopper Unit, while the other
person helps feed the control board assembly through
the hole, until you have the entire Platform Yoke
Assembly (with the control board) separated from the
Hopper Unit Case.

Checking for Elevation Magnet.
Section 2
1. Start by position the machine so that the
front end is facing you (the pointer.).
2. The magnet screw ¼” is located to the left
of the pointer, (on the inner metal section of
the Davit Center.) behind the white yoke
spacer (you can see the screw threading
poking through the domed shape on the
Davit Center.). (marked in red in the
diagram below).
3. Take your paper clip or flat-head screw
driver tip, and touch the ¼” screw thread
you located. If it attracts to the screw
bottom, then the magnet is in place.
Checking for Sweep Magnet.
4. Using the image below, you will see the
sweep magnet marked in Green, it is located
on the back section of the platform, and the
Davit Center.

5. The Sweep Home sensor should be secured
to the platform (as shown in the image
below in Red).
If the problem has not been resolved go to Section 3.

1. Check the elevation position, sweep home,
and sweep position quick-connections.

5. Unscrew the control panel, and check the
Vien Sensor Harness connection (marked as
J10) on the circuit board. Disconnect this by
pinching on the two longer sides, and
pulling up. Blow it out and then reconnect
it.
Checking the Timing Discs
1. Just above the Snap-In sensor, and little bit to
the right of it, there is a disc mounted on-top of
the motor. This is known as the Timing Disc.
Sometimes the motor can seize up, and the disc
can become “stuck” in place. This is generally
fixed with the help of your index finger.
2. Use your index finger to rotate the Timing Disc
clockwise, and then counter clockwise 15 to 30

times. If it feels like the disc is stuck in place
go ahead apply a small amount of force to try
and get it unstuck. If the disc winds up and
shoots back in the opposite direction then it
may be possible that the motor will need to be
replaced.

3. Check the Snap-In Sensors located at the
back portion of the Proxy Mount Assembly.
(It is below the Proxy Mount Magnet Holder.
4. Make Sure the sensor is plugged in all the
way- by grabbing the 3 wires (red, black and
green), and CAREFULLY pulling a little bit
away from the Elevation/ Sweep Assembly.
(If you feel any resistance then the snap-in
sensor is in place. DO NOT TUG ON WIRES
TOO HARD!)

Putting the Phenom Hopper Unit Case back onto
the Internal Platform Assembly.
Step 1.) Using two people, put the Upper Hopper Unit
(A) upside-down (where the top of the hopper is resting
on the ground), and carefully flip the Internal Platform
Assembly with the Control Panel, into the bottom of the
Upper Hopper Unit. Have one person reach in threw the
control panel opening, and direct the panel until it is
hanging outside of
the Upper Hopper Unit.
Step 2.) CAREFULLY screw in the 10 screws connecting
the Base Platform to the Hopper Unit. (The Base
Platform Pims are very sensitive, use caution when
screwing in these screws.)
Step 2.) Plug in the Feed Motor wire and unscrew the
ground wire (Diagram D.) on the control panel. Using
the 4 black screws fastening the control board to the

Hopper Unit.
Reconnecting The Hopper Unit To The Base Unit.
Step 1.) Using two people, lift the Hopper Unit (A) and
hold it above the Base Unit (E). Connect the Wire
Connector (B). Now CAREFULLY lower the Hopper Unit
onto the Base Unit. There are 4 metal extensions on the
bottom of the Hopper Unit (A) that will fit into the 4
holes on the Base Unit (B). They will “click” into place
when properly aligned.
Step 2.) Use the 4 wings provided (D), and the 4
washes provided (C ) to secure the Base Unit to the
Hopper Unit from the underside, as depicted in the
picture to the right.
Make sure the 4 Wings are finger tightened, and do not
over tighten, for over tightening these Wings can cause
and Over-Current Sweep Error.
If the issue continues upon putting the machine
back together and testing it, you will need to
contact Customer Service for a Return
Authorization to send your machine in for Repair
or Warranty Repair. 1-800-526-4041.
