A: A blinking light on your printer
can indicate normal operation, a warning, or printer
malfunction. The blinking light may be green, amber, red,
slow, normal, fast, and implication will vary from model to
model. On our current models, a green ready light that blinks
once/second usually indicates that the printer is receiving
data. A red or amber error light that blinks once/second
usually indicates a printer error (paper out, paper jam, cover
open, printing error). A red or amber light that blinks once
every 4 seconds usually indicates a hardware error (toner low,
image drum, or toner sensor). Please refer to the generic
chart below, or your printer's operator manual to troubleshoot
printer errors.

A: Usually, this condition
is accompanied by a blinking error light on the printer's
control panel. When the printer cover is opened and closed,
the printer runs a self-diagnostics that allows the operator
to perform one print operation. Afterwards, the error
condition resumes.
The most common cause for this condition is when the toner
is running low. If replacing the toner cartridge does not fix
the problem, the next likely cause is when the image drum
reaches 90% of its life cycle and needs to be replaced. After
changing the image drum, reset the image drum counter using
the following procedure: 1) turn printer power off. 2) Open
the top cover. 3) Press and hold (oval or rectangular) switch
on control panel. 4) While holding down switch, turn on
printer. 5) When lights on control panel flash twice, release
switch and close cover.
A: A low flow
condition can be caused when the disposable filter needs to be
replaced and/or the primary filter screen needs to be cleaned.
(See diagram.) If low flow continues, remove sample hose from
filter housing and check if low flow message goes away. If it
does, there may be blockage or a restriction in the sample
hose. Make sure the vacuum pump is operational. (Do you feel
or hear suction at the end of the sample hose?)
A: Use the procedure
below to identify the cause of a Sample System Leak Check
failure.
1. Remove the sample hose and probe
from the sample hose inlet fitting.
2. Seal the sample hose inlet fitting
and repeat the leak check.
If
the leak check passes with the hose detached, follow
the steps in "Checking the Sample Hose and Probe" to try and
locate the source of the leak check failure.
f the
leak check fails with the hose detached, follow the
steps in "Testing the Check Valve" to try and locate the
source of the leak check failure.
Checking the Sample Hose and Probe
1. Reattach the sample hose and probe
to the sample hose inlet fitting.
2. Select "No-Load Emissions
Measurements" from the Diagnostic Menu.
3. Seal the sample probe with the probe
cap used in the Sample System Leak Check.
4. Watch the HC display as you hold an
alcohol-soaked cotton swab near the hose/probe connections
and other likely leak areas (flex tip, hose, top & bottom
of the filter bowls, etc.) A leak draws alcohol into the
sample system and increases HC to approximately 300 PPM.
Repair any leaks as required, then perform a Sample
System Leak Check. If the leak check fails again, contact
SPX Service to request a service call to repair or replace
the sample hose and/or probe.
Testing the Check Valve
NOTE: The current check valves
have a white end and a black end. Always install the check
valve with the white end closest to the filter fitting and the
black end closest to the water aspirator.
Use this procedure to determine if the check valve is
causing the Leak Check failure.
1.Locate the check valve and
water aspirator.
2.Use pliers to slide the clamp
to the middle of the tubing between the check valve black
end and the side fitting of the aspirator.
3.Disconnect the tubing from
the aspirator.
4.Plug the open end of the
tubing connected to the black end of the check valve.
5.Perform a Leak Check.
If the unit passes the Leak
Check, replace the check valve.
If the leak check fails, contact
SPX Service to request a service call.
It is sometimes possible for check valves to be cleaned and
reused. If you do not have a replacement check valve, pour
dishwashing liquid into the white end of the check valve, then
rinse the valve with tap water. Repeat as needed. Replace the
check valve and retest for leaks.
A: There is usually a power
indicator light on the front of the monitor. The power
indicator light should be green, which indicates that the
monitor is on and receiving a signal from the PC. If
you have a green light, but no display, attempt to adjust the
brightness and contrast controls on the monitor.
If the indicator light is not on, verify that the
monitor is receiving power and switched-on. Check the power
cord on the back of the monitor to make sure it is completely
inserted into the power receptacle. (Some models have their
power cord hard-wired inside the monitor chassis.)
If the indicator light is amber, the monitor is on, but is
not receiving a signal from the computer. Verify that
the PC is switched-on. If the PC is already on, check the
connector on the back of the unit where the video cable is
plugged into. If the connector is bent or broken, contact SPX
Service to request a service call.
A: Consumables vary
with individual facilities and various State programs. At the
minimum, carry sufficient inventory for two to three months of
equipment use. (Some States require that you maintain a
minimum stock of certain items.) All inspection facilities
should stock backup leads, flex tips, hoses, toner, etc.
Having spares on-hand will greatly reduce your downtime!
NOTE ON CAL GAS: All calibration gas bottles have an
expiration date printed on the label. States do NOT permit
calibration of the analyzer on expired cal gas. Always
remember to turn OFF your gas bottle after use; even a very
small leak can drain a bottle over night.
A: YES! Regular
filter maintenance GREATLY increases reliability and life of
the gas-bench and emission analyzer. Water and other emission
by-products move through the plumbing system and their
corrosive effect can be greatly reduced with regular filter
maintenance.
A: Usually the RPM
lead is either erratic, or does not read at all. This is when
having a backup or spare lead can save you a service call.
Remove the problem lead and replace it with your spare lead.
If the problem is corrected, the original lead is damaged. If
you don't have a spare lead, check the problem lead for
disconnected wires, missing components, damaged cable, etc.
A: A Barcode Reader
Configuration Sheet is available in the Appendix Section of
all operator manuals. However, some of these configuration
sheets may no longer be accurate because the barcode reader
was upgraded. The chart below list the different models used
on SPX inspection units. Locate your barcode reader by model
number. Click on the appropriate model to open the
configuration sheet. Print the configuration sheet to your
printer, and follow the instructions to calibrate the barcode
reader.

Hard pumping of the fuel cap
tester is not necessary. You are only pressurizing the air
chamber to a little over 1 PSI (7.5 kPa). The pressure relief
valve will not allow the pressure to build to more than this.
Two or three easy strokes will work and not put undue wear on
the tester.
The Stant FCT requires 2 drops of "Stant pump oil" to be
added to the oil hole (small hole under the pump shaft/knob)
on a monthly basis. DO NOT OVER OIL. DO NOT USE ANY
"NON-APPROVED" OILS. Over oiling is just as bad as under
oiling.
When the "Ready to Test" light (RTT) goes steady after the
inspector has stopped pumping. PRESS AND HOLD THE TEST BUTTON
ALL THE WAY DOWN. A partial held down button may give
an error, or not even start the test. The button can be
released once the result light is lit.
The Fuel Cap Tester is connected to your analyzer for
communication purposes in accordance with BAR97
specifications. The RJ45 connector is a computer network
connector and should not be removed, or jiggled during
the test process. The will cause an error code and may damage
the electronics of the tester. If the tester is not being
recognized by the analyzer, disconnect and reconnect each end
of the Fuel Cap Tester's interface harness.
The Stant FCT receives power from the analyzer through the
RJ45 cable. The unit does not require a battery to operate.
Use of a battery inside the tester while the tester is
connected to the analyzer may cause the tester to malfunction.
A: WAEKON TROUBLESHOOTING
If the unit appears unresponsive, verify that the "Ready,
Pass or Fail" LED's turn on during fuel cap operation. If the
LED's do not turn on during calibration or fuel cap testing,
check the interface harness between the FCT and the analyzer.
Make sure the harness is securely connected at both ends.
NOTE: The LED's will only light during FCT operation.
Temperature can be an important factor that affects the
operation of the Waekon Fuel Cap Tester. When it gets very
cold, the Waekon FCT is reported to experience problems
performing fuel cap testing, or fail the calibration
procedure.
The Fuel Cap Tester is connected to your analyzer for
communication purposes in accordance with BAR97
specifications. The RJ45 connector is a computer network
connector and should not be removed, or jiggled during the
test process. The will cause an error code and may damage the
electronics of the tester. If the tester is not being
recognized by the analyzer, disconnect and reconnect each end
of the Fuel Cap Tester's interface harness
If the Waekon Fuel Cap Tester fails calibration, the
Pass/Fail standard may be the cause. Repeat the calibration
procedure using a "known good" gas cap and see if the FCT
passes. If the unit passes calibration, the Pass/Fail standard
is defective and needs to be replaced.
A: Over time, fuel
condenses in the sample system. This condensed fuel causes
high HC readings, affecting the accuracy of your tests.
Replacing the disposable secondary filter and/or cleaning the
sample system components usually eliminate HC contamination.
Perform the following procedure if you have
been unable to pass the "HC Hang-Up Check" during analyzer
system inspections.
1. Turn the analyzer system "ON" and
allow it to warm to operating temperature.
2.Select "No-Load Emissions
Measurements" from the Diagnostic Menu.
3. Observe the HC display while
exposing the exhaust probe to fresh air. An HC reading
above 20 PPM indicates HC contamination. NOTE: Shop
air may be contaminated enough to affect HC readings.
Repeat the test with the sample probe positioned outside
the shop area to confirm HC contamination.
4. Disconnect the exhaust sample hose
from the rear of the analyzer and repeat step 3.
If the HC reading does not change after removing the
sample hose, replace the secondary filter.
If the HC reading drops below 8 PPM, flush the hose
with warm, soapy water. Dry the hose with compressed air,
reconnect, and retest.
CAUTION: Remember to disconnect the exhaust sample
hose from the analyzer before you clean and flush it!
Your SPX warranty does not cover water or compressed air
damage to the analyzer system.
A: Perform the following procedure
if your keyboard has stopped responding. NOTE: Never
remove the keyboard or mouse from the computer while it's
turned on. Damage to the motherboard may result.
Does the keyboard light up when the PC is
turned on?
Does the NUM LOCK light toggle on and off
when pressed?
Does the mouse cursor move around on the
screen?
If you answered NO to any of the above
questions, turn off the PC and check the keyboard and mouse
connections to the extension cable behind the keyboard. The
connection(s) may be loose or have become disconnected. Turn
on the computer and try again.
If the keyboard malfunction continues, turn
off the computer and replace the keyboard with a known good'
keyboard. Turn on the computer and retry.
If the above steps fail to resolve the
keyboard problem, contact SPX Service to request a service
call.
A: Perform the following procedure,
in the exact order shown below, to reset the dynamometer.
Turn off the 240 VAC to the dynamometer.
Turn off the 120 VAC to the dynamometer. (Clayton only)
Turn off power to the Emission Analyzer.
Wait at least three (3) minutes. (This would be a good
time to check the dyne interface cable and connections
between the dynamometer and the emission analyzer.)
Turn on the 240 VAC to the dynamometer.
Turn on the 120 VAC to the dynamometer. (Clayton only)
A: Select the manual mode
function in your state's software and check for OBDII readings
on a "known good" vehicle. If OBDII data can not be read from
the vehicle, check all connections between the vehicle's DLC
(data link connector), the connections at the interface box
(if equipped), and the connection at back of inspection unit.
If you're still unable to read the vehicle's OBDII data,
try replacing the OBDII harness with a spare. If the above
steps fail to resolve problem, contact SPX Service to request
a service call.
A: It's really up to you
and your personal preference. Here are the arguments for
leaving it on 24-7 or turning it off every night.
Leave it on:
The electronic components within the computer tend to
last longer if they aren't constantly cooling off and
warming back up. Additionally, you don't get any kind of
initial "spike" in power when your machine is first turned
on (not a big problem if you have an ATX type
motherboardmost new computers do). Finally, it's much more
convenient to immediately start your inspection instead of
waiting for the computer to boot-up.
Turn it off:
Your hard drive may last longer, especially if your
computer doesn't put the drive on "standby" after a certain
amount of idle time. The constant spinning of your hard
drive motor can wear out the internal bearings. Another
"turn it off" argument is that you'll save on your electric
bill. Finally, you're going to pull more dust into your
computer if it's
