General

2.1 Unit does not switch on

• Ensure that the power socket conducts power.
• Check machine fuse in main switch.
• While power switch is on, check the following components: Voltage on
contact of main switch - if no voltage: - change main switch. Check input
voltage at electronics. If the voltage is normal, exchange the electronics. if
no voltage: check the cable wiring harness.
Do only use original PROTEC ®' fuses with gilded caps as re-
placement part. They are optimzed for use with PROTEC proc-
essors.

Drive

3.1 Film transport not running

• When placing processor cover on, the cover switch should be activated,
re-adjust if necessary.
• Cover switch does not switch when activated: Replace.
• Check drive motor: If voltage can be detected on motor, then motor is
defective.
• Check screwing of chain wheel on motor- and driveshaft.

3.2 Machine does not start automatically

• With the unit switched on, insert a film in the feed. If the LED begins to
flash, the film detection switch is okay; if not, check the position of the
actuator and replace the switch if required.
• Check the following parts: film detection switch, connecting cable for film
detection switch, electronics module.
• Check the connecting cables between the electronics module and slots of
the components (motor, dryer heating and solenoid valve). If the connec-
tions have no fault then the electronics module may be defective.

3.3 Machine doesn't stop automatically

• LED flashes continuously: Check positioning of the film switch actuator or
replace the film detection switch.
• Check the following parts: connecting cable of film detection switch and
electronics module.

3.4 Film transport does not function, fan runs

• Check screwing of chain wheels and run of chain.

3.5 Machine stops before film comes out

The follow-up time is the part of the processing time that follows passing of the film
detection switch. Activate the switch in the feed tray with a film and remove the film.
Measure the time until the processor stops automatically.
Change cycle time if necessary. The follow-up time can be set with a DIP switch on
the controller. When the unit is restarted after a change of the setting, the new pro-
gramming will be saved. The figure below illustrates the setting options:
