Head 1 prox alarm.
« on: May 19, 2018, 08:32:40 PM »
Ok so long story short.. lol
In the middle of a 5000 f/b tee run.. about 1250 front to finish them up and I start getting a head 1 prox alarm.
So... I have a couple new prox.. in the box... I swap them out on print head 8 (96' m&r gauntlet 8/10)
Test prints great...
Auto... gets to "print head 8"... alarm?
BUT... "first white "print head 1" is also printing. 
All heads Manual great. 
Auto... prints great...
auto... alarm?
Test... great..
auto... alarm?
Is there something I'm missing?
Or is it actually "print head 1"? Or print head 8?

I had to get outta there before I messed something up!!
Looking for suggestions for when I get to the shop in the morning!!!

Yes it can be 1 or 8.
The same nameplate was used on clockwise or counter clockwise operation.
The program the same.
Make sure prox is clean, no movement, check wire connections.
Good luck

Make sure the stop are squared up to heads if at angle could cause problems. I have 97 gauntlet and had this problem. Creates to much space for the sensors to work properly.

Ive had a sensor thats on the head that reads the stop loosen up and thats what causes it sometimes. We have a diamondback and the light comes on when it senses the stop..thats how I found out  it was that. And if its a wee bit to far it won't read it either.

We had a prox alarm really be a yellow cord issue on our Diamondback a couple years ago.
