PREVENTION: To prevent this problem from recurring, verify that the air pressure is between 65 and 85 PSIG (4,5
and 5,8 bar), with a maximum 10 PSI (0,7 bar) drop.
ERROR 5 - Dispenser jam - check tie loading
Dispenser jam - check tie loading
Load
POSSIBLE CAUSE: This occurs if the dispenser rotary receiver is prevented from advancing (rotating) to the next
position. This may be caused by a jam due to bowed or misaligned cable ties feeding into the rotary receiver, or a
jam due to a backed-up cable tie carrier strip in the carrier strip exit chute.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: Press the "Buzzer" button to turn the buzzer signal "off". At this point, check the rotary
receiver and connection block for misaligned or jammed cable ties, and check that the carrier strip scrap chute is
clear. Press the "Unload" button to back the cable ties out until the jam and all remaining loose cable ties are
cleared from the rotary receiver. Cut the excess carrier strip and any distorted or damaged cable ties from the cable
tie strip. Close the dispenser cover and perform the normal loading procedure.
PREVENTION: To prevent this problem from recurring, load the dispenser with care to prevent misaligned cable ties
in the rotary receiver, and empty the carrier strip scrap bin every 1/2 reel of cable ties.
ERROR 6 - Tie in tool
Tie in tool
Help
POSSIBLE CAUSE: This occurs if the cable tie reaches the tool but is prevented from completing the cycle. This
may be due to a large air pressure drop, too large of a bundle, improper feeder hose connections, an obstruction
blocking the cable tie path, a severe bend or twist in the feeder hose, or the tool jaws are opened during the cycle.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: Remove the cable tie and any obstruction from the jaw area. Resume operation.
PREVENTION: To prevent this problem from recurring, verify that the feeder hose connections are secure and that
there are no severe bends or twists in the feeder hose. Verify that the maximum bundle diameter does not exceed
.82" (21 mm) for the PAT1M Tool, and 1.31" (33 mm) for the PAT1.5M Tool. Also, verify that the air pressure is
between 65 and 85 PSIG (4,5 and 5,8 bar), with a maximum 10 PSI (0,7 bar) drop.
ERROR 7 - Tie in hose -- press air burst
Tie in hose - press air burst
Help
POSSIBLE CAUSE: This occurs if a cable tie is caught or remains in the feeder hose upon actuation. This may be
caused by a severe bend or twist in the feeder hose, low air pressure, or an interrupted cycle. When this occurs, the
tool cannot be cycled until the cable tie is cleared from the hose.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: Press the "Buzzer" button to turn the buzzer signal "off". To clear the cable tie from the
feeder hose, straighten the hose to eliminate any bends or twists and point the tool away from yourself and others.
Press the "Air burst" button to provide a burst of air to dislodge and advance the cable tie to the jaw area of the tool.
The "Air Burst" button can be pressed again if the cable tie does not advance to the jaw area. When the cable tie is
advanced to the tool jaw area, the "Tie in tool" message will appear and the buzzer will sound. Press the "Buzzer"
button to turn the buzzer signal "off". Remove the cable tie from the jaw area and then press the "Continue" button.
Press the "Load" button to load one cable tie into the dispenser and continue operation. (If "Load" does not appear,
press the "MENU" button to bring up the "Reset" display. Press the "Reset load" button to bring up the "Load,
