Checking And Finalizing The Installation; Troubleshooting The Input Signals - Matthews Marking Systems I-Mark SX-32e Technical Manual

I•Mark SX-32e Technical Manual Version: 8 Issue: 1
Checking and Finalizing the
Installation
This chapter assumes that:
• the system components are in place, see "Positioning and Mounting" on
page 11.
• external equipment has been connected to the control unit, see "Connecting
External Equipment" on page 16.
• the control unit has been adapted to the installation, see "Setting Up the Control
Unit" on page 20.
The final step to installing the SX-32e is to test the functionality of some of the
system components.
The object of this chapter is to check the:
• status of the printout activator signal.
• status of the speed encoder signal.
• print head operation.

Troubleshooting the Input Signals

Status monitor screen
1
Switch the control unit on.
2
When the main screen is shown, follow the above path.
3
Press so that the lamp to the right of the button turns red. This will stop
printouts being activated during the trigger signal check.
4
Cause the printout trigger to be activated, e.g. for a photocell, place an object
in front of the photocell at the same distance from it that the print target shall
pass by.
The Trigger active box should now become filled ( ) indicating that the signal
from the trigger is being received and that, under normal circumstances, a
printout will have been activated. If the box is not filled, switch the control unit
off and check the trigger and its connection to the SX-32e and try again. Also,
check that the photocell is close enough to the object.
