All Titan 200 s/n 981388 and down are 230vac only. If the voltage drop are 210vac or below during a cut, a buck/boost transformer, p/n K-2834, is required. Note: The buck/boost can also be rewired to buck voltage 250vac down.
A kit is available to keep the “F1” fuse from blowing. The kit number is K-2908. A 5A (SB) fuse is being added. The first Titan 200 with the new fuse is s/n 991734, August 99. It is located on the revised circuit board (EE-2807-1) and is labeled “FL”.
4 turns. Knife down sequence 3 turns. Clamp up sequence 1 turn. Clamp pressure reducer (adjustable by the operator) 4 turns (800 psi). Use the hydraulic pressure setting section in the manual for final adjustment. VALVE INFORMATION Listed is general information for testing and checking.

ERRORS (NO MESSAGE) THAT REQUIRE A FLOW CHART ERROR EXPLANATION PROCEDURE Clamp stuck down Upward movement of spring return clamp See flow chart page 27 Did not overcome mechanical bind. Slow backgauge Main board is sensing the preset is always See flow chart page 28 movement to end of table activated.
Knife latch failure 1 Prox sensor on when should be off. See flow chart page 37 The pin should be in the disengaged position i.e. pulled out from under knife bar. Knife latch failure 0 Prox sensor off when should be on. See flow chart page 38 The pin should be in the engaged position i.e.
TITAN 200 TEST & ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES TESTING DOWN VALVE COIL MAGNETISM 1. Remove the ¾" nut holding the coil to the valve. 2. Slide the coil away from the base of the valve ¼". 3. The coil should move easily on the valve stem.
MANUALLY ACTIVATING THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR Pressing the manual pin on the motor relay will activate the motor. This will raise the clamp and knife to the full up position. The relay is located on the right side center of the electrical panel. Do not push the relay for longer than 3 seconds, the main fuses may blow! 1.
TESTING ENCODER CABLE 1. Unplug the cable connector at encoder. Measure voltages at the cable connector. 2. If voltages are correct, cable (E-2534-1) and main board (EE-2807) are good. If voltages are not correct, go to step 3. 3. With the cable connector still unpluggged at encoder, measure the voltage at the header screws. If voltage is correct the main board is good and the cable is defective.
TESTING AND LEVELING THE CLAMP 1. Remove the cut stick, false plate clamp if installed. Clean the bottom of the clamp. 2. Place a 2 1” x 22” strips of paper lengthwise from under the clamp (right and left), to the front edge of the table.
DISASSEMBLY OF SOLENOID COIL CABLE CONNECTOR 1. Remove screw completely from the center of square connector then remove connector from coil. 2. Unscrew cable strain relief nut. 3. Turn connector upside down. Place a small screwdriver in the narrow slot in one of the corners of the red center piece then pry it out.
