Solution

Potential Root Causes

Movement is too slow because:

• Blades are really blunt
• Hydrocheck speed damper is not adjusted correctly or faulty.
• Faulty or sticky air valves (water damage) that are not switching on and have a delay

Movement is correct speed but input is not feeding back

• Faulty reed switch
• Faulty connection to reed switch
• Position of reed switch not correct on cylinder

1 Increase the timeout

In Settings ->Alarms tab

The diagram shows a timeout of 8 seconds (80). To increase by 2 seconds, make 80 into 100 on the Timeout column.

It is expected that 8 seconds should be ample for the v notch stroke to happen, so this will only mask the real root cause, possibly

2 Disable the alarm

If you are certain that the blade is operating correctly, you can disable the alarm by unticking the "Enbld" tick box for the alarm that keeps triggering.

...This is only going to prevent the alarm from interrupting production, it has not solved the root cause of the problem
