Operating Manual - English IDEA
To tighten the belt/s, proceed as follows:
1) turn the machine off and pull out the plug.
2) remove the bottom plate (ch.7.9).
3) loosen the 4 motor fixing screws (W).
4) use the special plate (provided) to tighten the belt by turning the screw (W2).
5) tighten the 4 motor fixing screws (W).
6) replace the bottom plate.
7.5 C HECKING AND / OR REPLACING FUSES
Fuses should be checked with a tester (ohmmeter, multimeter, etc.) as they may appear to be in good
condition even when they are electrically faulty. Fuses must always be replaced with the same amperage
and type (rapid or delayed), as indicated in this manual.
There are 6 fuses in the IDEA.
• 2 fuses: 4 Amps rapid
located next to the power socket on the back of the
machine, next to the main switch (fig. 133). These
fuses protect the machine from power surges and/or
spikes in the electricity supply.
To check and/or replace the fuses proceed as
follows:
1) turn the machine off and unplug it from its power
supply cable.
2) use a flat screwdriver to open the flap covering
the socket, remove and check the fuses,
replacing them if necessary.
Fig. 133
• 4 fuses: F1, F2, F3, F4
F1: 10 Amps delayed
- protects the cutter motor and its electronic
controls
F2: 6,3 Amps delayed
- protects the step motors and their electronic
controls (+32V d.c.)
F3: 4 Amps delayed
- protects the logic control circuits on the
microprocessor board (+5V d.c.)
F4: 2 Amps delayed
- protects the digital output circuits for the low
voltage controls and the sensor inlets (+24V d.c.)
Situated on the electronic circuit board inside the
base of the machine (fig. 134) protecting the board
from short circuits.
To check and/or replace the fuses proceed as
follows:
1) turn the machine off and unplug it from its power
supply cable.
2) remove the bottom panel (ch.7.9).
3) check and, if necessary, replace the fuses in the
way described below:
Fig. 134
to remove the fuse:
- press the fuse cap with your fingers and turn it
counter clockwise.
To fit the new fuse:
- carefully position the fuse back into place, then gently press the fuse cap downwards turning it clockwise
