      If the Martin Industrial Equipment air cannon is not triggered, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the electrical connections to the solenoid valves are secure, the voltage is correct, and the control system is active and sending signals. If there's no pressure in the air cannon tank, refer to the troubleshooting steps for 'The air cannon does not fill' fault. Check that the control line is properly connected and leak-tight. Make sure the air cannon's vent ports are not blocked and that the valve piston isn't installed backward. Clear any blockages from the air outlet or nozzle. Confirm the control line isn't excessively long (over 30 m) and that the operating pressure is within 3 to 10 bars. Finally, verify the magnetic valve remains activated for at least one second, but no ...

Ensure all ball valves on the air cannons are fully open. Verify the maintenance unit is correctly installed and adjusted to the desired pressure by lifting the unit and turning it clockwise, also checking the flow direction. Inspect the solenoid valve's air connections, ensuring they match the correct configuration (Connection 1 = inlet, Connection 4 = outlet, Connection 5 = venting). Confirm the air cannon tank's plug is in place and all connections are closed. Check that the fill port is connected to the compressed air supply and inspect all pneumatic pipe connections for leaks, ensuring correct flow direction. If these steps don't resol...
