How to fix 'COOL2 EXCEEDS POSTHEAT TEMP SETTING' on Amada Controller?
If the Amada Controller displays 'COOL2 EXCEEDS POSTHEAT TEMP SETTING', re-enter a Cool2 value that is less than the Postheat temperature.
How to resolve 'COOL1 EXCEEDS POSTHEAT TEMP SETTING' error on Amada Controller?
If the Amada Controller displays 'COOL1 EXCEEDS POSTHEAT TEMP SETTING', re-enter a Cool1 value that is less than the Postheat temperature.
What to do if I get a MAX TEMP ALARM on my Amada Controller?
If the Amada Controller displays a MAX TEMP ALARM, first cycle the main power and then reduce the heating rate. Also, check that the thermocouples are properly connected. Finally, verify that the SCR has not shorted; if it has, recycle the power on the control.
How to fix 'ABORT REFLOW: Firing Switch Open' on Amada Controller?
To resolve the 'ABORT REFLOW: Firing Switch Open' error on the Amada Controller, maintain firing switch closure for the required time. It is also recommended to set the FOOTSWITCH RESPONSE MODE to LATCHED after the application has been set up.
How to fix 'IDLE EXCEEDS BASEHEAT TEMP SETTING' on Amada Controller?
If the Amada Controller displays 'IDLE EXCEEDS BASEHEAT TEMP SETTING', re-enter an Idle temperature value that is less than the Baseheat temperature.
How do I fix 'BASEHEAT EXCEEDS PREHEAT TEMP SETTING' on my Amada Controller?
If the Amada Controller displays 'BASEHEAT EXCEEDS PREHEAT TEMP SETTING', re-enter a Baseheat value that is less than the Preheat temperature value.
What to do if Amada Controller aborts reflow because heating is too slow?
If the Amada Controller displays 'ABORT REFLOW: Heating Too Slow', change the COARSE and/or FINE HEATING RATE, PID CONTROL SETTING, or Process Temperatures.
How to resolve 'EXCEEDED MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE' error on Amada Controller?
If the Amada Controller displays 'EXCEEDED MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE OF', re-enter a lower Reflow value, or increase the maximum temperature in the Reflow Setup Screen, and then enter the desired higher Reflow temperature.
What to do if the Amada Controller shows 'FIRING SWITCH NOT ACTUATED'?
If the Amada Controller displays 'FIRING SWITCH NOT ACTUATED', initiate another reflow process cycle. You may also need to increase the air pressure of the Air Actuated Reflow Soldering Head until heating begins. Also, check the Reflow Soldering Head stroke specification; if the stroke is exceeded, the Firing Switch will never actuate.
