5. Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your PROVerXL 4030 V2.
Symptom 1: The machine doesn't stop at limits or won't home properly.
Figure 5.1: Troubleshooting guide for limit switch issues.
- Check Wiring: Ensure all limit switch cables are securely connected.
- Verify Mounting: Confirm switches are firmly installed and properly aligned.
- Reset Settings: In Candle/UGS, enter
$RST=$before homing. - Test Switches: Manually press each switch during homing; the correct axis should stop immediately.
Note: Please report test results to support for replacement assistance if issues persist.
Symptom 2: Spindle doesn't rotate when activated.
Figure 5.2: Troubleshooting guide for spindle rotation issues.
- Adjust Spindle Knob: Turn speed control to MAX on the control box.
- Software Check: Start spindle through Candle control software.
- Voltage Test: Use a multimeter to measure between the spindle's red and blue wires.
- Normal voltage (48V) indicates a likely spindle motor fault.
- 0V reading indicates a need to check the motherboard/wiring.
Note: Contact support with test results for replacement.
