Moisture Condensation
When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold to a
warm location, or used in a very humid place, moisture
from the air can condense on the head-drum. This is
called moisture condensation. If the tape is run in this
state, it can adhere to the drum. To prevent such a
condition from occurring, the unit is provided with a
moisture condensation detecting function.
If moisture condenses on the head-drum while the unit
is in use, the ALARM indicator flashes and “E10-
0000” is displayed in the time data display area.
If this happens, the drum and capstan motors stop and
the cassette is automatically ejected. Then, the drum
starts to rotate again to dry its surface. In this state, the
unit is not operable. When the moisture has
evaporated, the ALARM indicator goes off and the
“E10-0000” message disappears.
If the ALARM indicator lights and “E10-0000”
appears immediately after powering the unit
on
Leave the unit powered on and wait until the ALARM
indicator goes off and the error message disappears.
Do not insert a cassette while the indicator is lit.
Use the unit when the indicator goes off and the error
message disappears.
If you move the unit from a cold to a warm
location
Leave the unit powered off for about 10 minutes, in
order to give the unit time to detect moisture
condensation.
“E10-0000” is displayed in the time data display area.
