5. Balls thrown to wrong
places or inconsistent
throws.
A. Are there rubber bands around the Deflector Plate and/or is there
a blue foam pad above it? If yes, remove those parts so Deflector
Plate can move freely. Those parts are used only during transport.
B. Is Random on? If so, turn off.
C. Clean White Strip. Scrape ball residue off with fingernail and
then scrub with Scotchbrite pad wetted with isopropyl alcohol.
If White Strip has a concave-shaped depression, adhere a Repair
White Strip on top of existing White Strip. See page 27. 27.
D. Clean sidewalls of Deflector Plate. Scrape residue off with
fingernail and scrub with Scotchbrite pad wetted with isopropyl
alcohol. If sidewall has a groove worn into it, replace.
E. Unplug Head Cable and check that no pins are bent or missing.
There should be 15 pins. Re-plug cable securely.
F. Check serial connection on the Power Circuit Board. Press firmly
all around the serial connection to ensure the male half is firmly
inserted into the female half.
G. Check wheel clearance. Adjust if necessary. See page 24.24.
H. Push Deflector Plate all the way up. Pull down about 1 cm (0.5
inch). Let go. If good, the Deflector Plate should snap upwards
and stop immediately, but if it wobbles around, it needs to be
replaced. Contact Amicus Service Center. After doing this test,
always do a Head Reset.
I. If balls are thrown further to one side than the other, Deflector
Plate needs to be adjusted. Contact Amicus Service Center.
6. Balls thrown at irregular
depths.
A. See Solution 5G.
B. Wheels worn. Replace all 3 wheels. See page 2525.
C. See Solution 5C.
7. Balls thrown high and
off the table.
A. Check that robot is level and plumb (vertical). Adjust Support
Legs to fit your tabletop. See step 2 of Setup, page 4.4. Robot
should not be leaning backward.
B. Tap the Head Reset button on any exercise (see page 13).
C. Verify that Deflector Plate is moving in accordance with the Tra-
jectory Control on the Tablet. If so, change the Trajectory setting
for the balls being thrown too high. If not, check head connec-
tions (see Solutions 5E & 5F). If head connections are good, then a
bad Power Circuit Board. Replace.
D. Check Calibration. See page 20.20.
8. Double throws or missed
throws.
A. Head height improperly adjusted (see Photo 8, page 8).
B. Are one or both springs missing from the Ball Mixer Springs? If
so, replace that part.
