What should I do when the mains interrupt

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
February 11, 2025

The manual does not explicitly describe steps for handling a mains interrupt on the Hettich ROTINA 38. However, if the issue involves the mains choke coil causing an error (e.g., FU / CCI - ERROR 62) due to undervoltage, the procedure is as follows:

1. Pull both plugs from the mains choke coil.
2. Cut off both plugs and connect the ends of the cables together using a luster terminal.

If additional troubleshooting is required, consult the troubleshooting or error message sections of the manual for further guidance.

    Imbalance switch • A switch detects any imbalance. • Imbalance can only be detected in running mode (starting, centrifuging and braking). • If any imbalance is detected, the drive is changed over to braking. Interlocking • Opening of the LL is prevented by a latch. The LL can only be opened when the relay on the SB is energized by the CP.

  • Page 29: Imbalance Switch-Off

    6.10 Imbalance switch-off The permissible imbalance is specified for rotor 1724 by the indication of the difference in weight of opposite rotor positions. When having a difference in weight within the range of 15g to 30g during run-up, the drive has to switch off before reaching 1500 RPM. The imbalance switch-off is adjusted by changing the distance of the imbalance switch.
