Customer complaint was that the crane would not connect to the remote. It was found the U230X Processor display wasn’t on, but the light shining on the processor was on. A voltage reading of 50V was taken at the J1/2 and continuity reading was taken at J1/1. It was noted that K100A wasn’t energized. A voltage reading at J12/5 was taken and found a reading of 0Volts
The U230X has an internal fail safe that if there is something wrong with the start sequence it will not power on. In this instance all outgoing connections were removed until only the J1 Connection was left connected to the processor. The crane was powered on and the processor powered up showing information on the display. One by one each J connection was added until the processor would not power on. It was found that the J12 connection was the offending connection. The 24V connection at J12/5 was removed at the processor and and the crane processor powered on. The crane was once again powered down and a continuity reading was taken from the J12/5 wire to each J12 connection. It was found that the J12/5 was making contact to the J12/1, J12/3, and chassis ground. The customer inspected the KK plug for a connection error and it was found the wiring to the KK plug was compromised internally. As a temporary fix to allow the operator to continue to work a jumper wire was ran from J12/5 to the A1 connection on the K100A. The crane operates as it should. Replacement of the KK plug wiring should be taken in this instance.
