Symptom / Description

FAULT

A fault is reported on dosing system 3, preventing the correct distribution of the associated product.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

Dosing module 3 is in error. This could be caused by an empty product container, a blocked pipe, or a malfunction of the dosing pump.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Check the level of cleaning agent for the dosing system 3. Check the integrity and positioning of the sampling tube. Attempt to prime the pump. If the fault is not corrected, the pump itself may fail.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !High-Voltage Safety Protocol: Disconnect 230V power before unplugging edge connectors or removing PCB.
  • !High Voltage DC Warning: Wait at least 5 minutes for SMPS and inverter filter capacitors (up to 380V DC) to discharge safely.
  • !Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Ground yourself to the metal chassis or wear an antistatic wrist strap before touching circuit tracks.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Inspect PCB tracks with a magnifying glass for blown triacs, darkened copper tracks, or cold solder joints on power relays.
  • Check electrolytic capacitors for bulging tops or leaked electrolyte residue around pins.
  • Verify edge connector locking clips are intact and pins are free of vibration fretting corrosion.
