The stack light on the CSF/CSD machine is designed to convey various statuses, providing a quick visual reference for the machine's operational state. Understanding these indicators is crucial for monitoring the machine's performance and addressing issues promptly.
Stack Light Indicators:
| Status | Green | Yellow/Amber | Red | Buzzer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ready to Run | 1Hz Flashing | NA | NA | NA |
| Running | Solid | NA | NA | NA |
| Low Tape | Solid | 1Hz Flashing | NA | NA |
| Error | NA | NA | 1Hz Flashing | 1Hz Flashing |
| Start Sequence | 2Hz Flashing | NA | NA | NA |
| Downstream Jam | Solid | 2Hz Flashing | NA | NA |
Note: 1 Hz = 1 cycle per second; 2 Hz = 2 cycles per second
Interpretation of Stack Light Statuses:
-
Ready to Run: When the machine is ready for operation, the green light flashes at 1Hz. This indicates that the machine is prepared but not actively running.
-
Running: A solid green light signifies that the machine is actively running, performing its designated tasks.
-
Low Tape: If tape levels are low, the stack light shows a solid green and a yellow/amber light flashing at 1Hz. This warns of diminishing tape levels. The phrase could be rewritten to make it clearer. The low tape indicator can only be seen when the machine is in operation.
-
Error: An error condition triggers a red light to flash at 1Hz along with the buzzer, indicating an issue that needs immediate attention.
-
Start Sequence: During the machine's startup sequence, a 2Hz flashing green light is visible.
-
Downstream Jam: In the event of a jam downstream, the stack light shows a solid green light with a 2Hz flashing yellow/amber light.
Understanding these stack light indications helps in monitoring the machine's status, enabling timely responses to various conditions and ensuring smooth operations.
