Do you have a question about the Smart-Flex FLX-4629 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
My flx 4629 says off but the toggle switch is in on position. Press the set clr button and says 340 for delay. Will not run feed or reset when flip the on/off switch.
If the Cumberland Smart-Flex FLX-4629 is not running feed despite the toggle switch being in the on position, possible issues include:
1. Maximum Run Time exceeded – If the auger has run for the maximum allowed time without filling the system, it will shut off and trigger an alarm. The display will flash “run.”
2. Maximum Idle Time exceeded – If the system has been idle too long, it will enter alarm mode. The display will flash “IdL.”
3. Pressure switch activated – This triggers an alarm and stops operation. The display will flash “PrS.”
4. Lost communication with the Network Master – This causes the system to stop. The display will flash “AC14.”
To resume operation after any of these alarms (except toggle switch off), press the Set/Clr button to reset the alarm.
