 Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2012 12:49 pm Post subject: E-16 on a 3620E |
  |
|
| Customer has an old 3620E (SP5000) and it is showing a E-16 error. I noticed that the cleaning pad is sitting on the left side of the charge assy. I think it should be on the right side by the motor for home position, correct? Whenever I boot up the printer, it'll do it's thing as in warming up for a little bit and shows roll information, then BOOM, E-16. I don't know anything about this machine and any help would be much appreciated. I am at the customer's site so quick help would be much much appreciated. Thank you. |

you can disable wire cleaning in adjustment mode
remove display cover
press and hold SW1...then 3,3,4,3 in 3 sec.
sw1 scroll to 4 then sw2 to sub mode 14
then sw3/sw4 to read "off" in display
press sw1 amd sw4 to exit

| Thank you but it is flickering and for some reason will not let me switch it to off. Sw4 and sw5 is blank. I try to sw itch it before it errors out but can not. |

you can mask the error
enter diagnostics and sw1 scroll to 6
then sw2 scroll to 07
sw3 or sw4 to exe. I can't remember
the error will be masked until the printer is powered off/on
see if you can turn off while error is masked

| In the past I have successfully shorted the two wires together that run the motor and it seems to fool the logic to think it has already run in both directions. Not sure how desperate you are but I have done this and it worked for me. |

I had to leave the customer's site yesterday. They have a KIP2000 in another dept. that they will temporarly use.
CHAZBO: I'll try to mask the error and let you know if I can turn it off.
CJWILT: Did you short the two wires permanently, or just to make it do it's run?
And yes, I was desparate to get it going. Weird that they are a military contractor but still uses these old printers. The user is begging for a new machine. (So maybe I shouldn't (CAN'T) fix it so that they'll consider a new one..LOL) Just kidding. |

I shorted the wires using a classic MacGyver fix. A staple. I used it to get them running until I could replace the motor.
Sounds like it doesn't matter if the machine goes up in smoke so I would go for it. Just make sure to put some MacGyver tape around it.
Good Luck |

| OK....Just got here a little while ago and could not mask the error or disable the motor so I put a paperclip behind the plug to short the two wires together and VOILA, it did it's run and all the prints in the queue cam spitting out. Now, I forgot my MacGyver tape. So I'm going to have to look for something to cover it. Is this a sure sign that it is a bad motor? I will have to check with KIP if this motor is still available. How long can I keep this paperclip in? Even with the error gone, I still cannot disable the motor. It just blinks. I'm going to 4-14 but pressing 4 or 5 does nothing and 6 operates it. |

I left mine in until the new motor came in. I'm not really sure how long is safe. All the short does is fool the DC controller to think the motor reached the end of the auger and it feeds back a quick short to tell it to reverse the motor or stop it.
I have never turned off the motor in the BUD so I don't really know what to say there.
I would think you can still get a motor from KIP but let me know if you have trouble finding one and I will check the junk yard here. |

blinking means activation and no editing can be done
try this:
mode level 3
sub mode 4d
press sw2 stop/start motor signal
then:
mode 4
sub mode 14
turn off/on signal

| I left the paperclip in and they are temporarily up and running. I am awaiting a response from KIP about motor availability but had to leave for another call. I'll keep you all updated. |

| OK, I just replaced the motor that I was able to order from KIP. BAM...E-16. I'm just going to put the old motor back in and use the paperclip to cross the motor plug wires. I'm thinking it's probably a board now since bridging the wires will make it run but will not run with a new motor. What do you guys think? |

Any chance that the paper clip opened up the pins enough to make no contact with the motor?

I would tape the paper clip real good
crate the printer and controller up real good
ship the crate to "mark in vegas" so he can take it to Pawn Stars to see how much you can get for it
