Error Messages

Error

Measures

E-D5

Needle bar case motor

overcurrent

Needle bar case motor overcurrent

Turn OFF the power. The possible causes for this

error are, troubles of the needle bar case motor,

troubles of the main PCB, and troubles of the

drive PCB.

E-D6

Jump motor overcurrent

Turn OFF the power. The possible causes for this

error are troubles of the jump motor and troubles

of the head PCB.

E-D7

Temperature rise error

Clean the fan filter

The temperature of the heat sink

on the drive PCB rose excessively

Turn OFF the power and check if the fan filter has

any clogging.

E-D8

Temperature sensor

abnormal

Temperature sensor abnormal

Turn OFF the power. The possible causes for this

error are troubles of the thermistor and troubles

of the drive PCB.
