Quit Maker Pro 18 VERSA
When you rst power on the Quilt Maker Pro 18
VERSA, each of the LEDs in the control board LED
bank will briey ash in succession. Following that
inial ash, the LED (labeled HrtBt) should ash in a
“heart beat” fashion to indicate that the processor is
running and is not locked up. If the processor is locked
up, this LED will be locked in either an “On” or an
“O” state.
A descripon of each of the 8 LEDs and its funcon is
listed below:
• D3 “HrtBt”: Flashing in a “heartbeat” fashion
indicates the processor is running.
• D6 “Speed”: Flashes 100 mes per revoluon of the
hand wheel.
• D5 “Opon”: Should be on when the stch
regulaon overspeed alarm is on.
• D4 “Needle”: Should be O when the take-up lever
is all the way in the Up posion. Should be On when
the take-up lever is down or anyme it is not fully in
the Up posion.
• D10 “Test 4”: Should ash rapidly when
communicaon with the handlebars is established.
• D9 “Test 3”: Transmit LED should ash rapidly when
communicaon with the handlebars is established.
• D8 “Test 2”: Should be On when stch Regulaon is
on.
• D7 “Test 1”: Turns on when the “Start” buon
is pressed, indicang that the motor should be
running. (Go LED)
Near the top of the control board are two green LEDs.
The control board receives an input of +48V from
the power supply and it converts this voltage into
two dierent voltage levels. The le LED (closest to
the +18Vdc label) indicates that the 18V power is
funconing and the right LED (closest to the +5Vdc
label) indicates that the 5V power is funconing.
If either of these LEDs is not on, rst disconnect all
cables from the control board except the red/black
power connector at the top. If the LED(s) are sll
not on, then there may be an issue with the on-
board power supply. If the LEDs both begin working
again, this may indicate that one of the peripherals is
shorng out the control board.
Begin plugging the cables back in one at a me
(powering o between the connecon of each cable)
unl you nd the cable that is causing the issue. If
it is a handlebar cable, then the issue could be the
internal cable, the external cable, or the handlebar
itself. You could then try plugging that cable back in
with the handlebar disconnected to verify whether
it is the cable or the handlebar. If it is one of the
other cables, then the problem may be related to
that parcular component (needle/speed encoder or
motor driver).
However, if both LEDs are o, check to make sure the
black power cord is plugged in and the power switch
is ON. A volt meter may be used to verify that there
is 48V DC between the red/black connector on the
top of the control board. If you do not have 48V DC,
then the power supply and aached cables should be
inspected for any short circuits or wires breaking away
from connectors, both on the control board side and
power supply side. If the volt meter indicates that the
48V is present at the control board power connector
and the control board power LEDs are o, then the
C-Pod should be replaced.
