several times, replace the feeder hose with another and notify your maintenance department.
PREVENTION: To prevent this problem from recurring, always prevent any severe bends or twists in the feeder

drop.

POSSIBLE CAUSE: The tool was actuated while there was still a cable tie or ties in the PHM Feeder Hose.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: Press the "Buzzer" button to turn the buzzer signal "off". To clear the cable ties 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 the cable tie does not
advance to the tool jaw area after depressing the "Air Burst" button several times, replace the feeder hose with
another and notify your maintenance department.
PREVENTION: If the "Tie in hose" error appears, ALWAYS make sure the cable tie is found (when pressing air
burst) before resuming operation. Stay within recommended line pressures and remove any sharp bends in the
feeder hose. DO NOT drop additional ties in hose to verify that the hose is clear. The additional tie will only make the
problem worse.

Blocked or dirty exit sensor
Help
POSSIBLE CAUSE: This will occur if the exit (optical) sensor in the PDM Dispenser becomes obstructed due to a
cable tie or excess debris (dirt, grime, etc.) on the lens. The cable tie will remain in the dispenser or the end of the
PHM Feeder Hose that is attached to the dispenser. When this occurs, the tool cannot be actuated until the cable
tie is cleared from the system or hose.
CORRECTIVE ACTION: Press the "Buzzer" button to turn the buzzer signal "off". Disconnect feeder hose from
dispenser. Look for cable tie in dispenser connector block and remove cable tie, if present. Reconnect feeder hose,
and resume operation. If the cable tie is not found, reconnect the feeder hose. Straighten the feeder 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, Unload, Menu" display.) If the
cable tie does not advance to the tool jaw area after depressing the "Air Burst" button several times, replace the
feeder hose with another and notify your maintenance department.
