TSM-35 Screw Pocket Machine Troubleshooting
35.18 Machine starts, but shuts down when cycle is initiated:
!***ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER AND AIR WHEN CHECKING SWITCHES ***!
• Check the air pressure switch. Most common reason. (E35420) (See 35.14)
o The air pressure switch is set at 40 psi at the factory. It can often go bad and be hard to
diagnose.
o The easiest way to check is to bridge the two wires and see if the machine will turn on.
o We no longer use the air pressure switch. Customers can keep the bridge in place if they do
not wish to replace.
o
• Check the overload (E91827 480V Overload / E94060 230V Overload / E94061
Single phase overload)
o Increase the amperage capacity on the overload.
o If this does not solve the issue, then most likely the problem is with the contactor or
overload.
o It is recommended to change both components. Currently the Sprecher & Schuh (S & S)
brand we use will need both pieces to be changed, regardless if there is an old S & S in the
machine. The new revision will not work with the old. (E91024
– Contactor)
o **** Contactors and overload components from different manufacturers cannot be
combined. ****
