Wireless Radio Controller E-Stop Pressed or Radio Failure – Indicates the Emergency STOP button
on the wireless terminal has been pressed. This error is also displayed if the wireless terminal is turned
OFF, its battery fails, or radio communication is lost. The strobe light flashes for one minute and then stops.
In an emergency situation, the electric motor can be started using the AUTO/HAND switch inside the
control console. Pressing F3 retracts the carrier. Pressing F4 retracts the skate. To continue operation
without the wireless terminal, switch the unit to Control Console mode.
Hyd. Tank E-Stop Pressed – Indicates the Emergency STOP button on the control console has been
pressed.
Pump Not Running Check Motor – Occurs when the Motor START button is pressed and the motor does
not start, or if no hydraulic pressure is sensed by any of the three pressure transducers. Check the motor
breaker in the main electrical box (Figure 3-13, page 3-14). This also occurs if the motor is not running in
the correct rotation. Call Canrig Service.
Pressure Transducer Error – The PLC senses a problem with one of the three pressure transducers.
Press the Pump ON button to cause the pump to provide pressure. Then, press F3 to lower the carrier, or
press F4 to retract the skate. Call Canrig Service.
Check Winch Encoder Wiring – The PLC senses the carrier is being asked to move and there is no input
from the winch encoder for a period of four seconds. Indicates a problem within the carrier-lift winch
encoder circuit. Press the RESET button. If the carrier moves and the error re-occurs, call Canrig Service.
Carrier Overload Reduce Load – The carrier is being commanded to raise and the hydraulic system is at
full pressure. Ensure the tubular being raised to the floor does not exceed the carrier lift capacity of 10,000
lbs (4,536 kg). Ensure tubulars are always carried as close to the ramp as possible in the carrier. If the
tubular is within weight and this error is displayed, call Canrig Service.
Stopped Carrier Overshoot – The carrier does not stop when at mouse hole. This causes the hydraulic
pump motor to turn off. Call Canrig for Service.
Replace Winch Cables Soon – The PLC continually logs the mega joules or ton miles of energy going
into the carrier-lift winch cables. This message is displayed when the cables are nearing the 2,000 ton
miles energy maximum allowed by the cable manufacturer. The cables should be replaced soon. Call
Canrig for service.
Proximity Switch Error or Damaged – The carrier is down and the PLC has not received a signal from
the carrier proximity switch (see Figure 6-2, “Pivot Pockets,” page 6-2). Call Canrig for service.
Stopped - Carrier Moved in Neutral – The PLC is receiving a pulse from the winch encoder circuit, but
the PLC has not received the input by the Operator to move the carrier.
Caution
Before starting the motor, make sure
personnel are clear of the carrier.
