#3

After a few 

seconds 
after the 

R/W switch 

is pressed, 

an error 

code 

appears.

#4

The work 

clamp does 

not move 

up and 

down 

when the 

foot switch 

is stepped 

on.

 Probable causes

1.  With error code [E.40], a floppy 

disk is not inserted.

2.  With error code [E.41] or [E.4F], 

the floppy disk is defective.

3.  Panel circuit board defective

1.  Foot switch and code defective

2.  Any cord in the control box is 

defective.

3.  Fuse blown

Check/repair/adjust

• When a floppy disk is inserted into the FDD, check 

the sound of the motor.

• When error code [E.40], [E.41], or [E.4F] appears, 

insert other floppy disk into the FDD.

If the FDD reads the floppy disk, the original disk 

is defective.

(Make sure that the power is turned off.)

• Remove the connector for foot switch connected 

to the outside of the control box, and check the 

continuity between pins 1 and 2, and pins 7 and 8 

in the connector on the cord.  (For pneumatic 

specification, check the continuity between pins 3 

and 4.)

The continuity in each case should be normally 

∞ 

Ω or 0 Ω when the switch is stepped on.

• Insert the connector checked above, open the 

control box, and check the continuity between 

pins 1 and 2, pins 3 and 4, pins 5 and 6 in 

connector P19 (FOOT) on the PCB.

(Without removing the connector, put a tester 

from the lead side.)

The continuity in each case should be normally 

∞ 

Ω or 0 Ω when the switch is stepped on.

• Remove fuse no.1 and check the continuity.

(If there is no continuity, go to the next item.)
