WARRANTY TERMS
INITIAL WARRANTY
All products manufactured or marketed by FAGOR carry a 12-month warranty for the end user which could
be controlled by the our service network by means of the warranty control system established by FAGOR
for this purpose.
In order to prevent the possibility of having the time period from the time a product leaves our warehouse
until the end user actually receives it run against this 12-month warranty, FAGOR has set up a warranty
control system based on having the manufacturer or agent inform FAGOR of the destination, identification
and on-machine installation date, by filling out the document accompanying each FAGOR product in the
warranty envelope. This system, besides assuring a full year of warranty to the end user, enables our service
network to know about FAGOR equipment coming from other countries into their area of responsibility.
The warranty starting date will be the one appearing as the installation date on the above mentioned
document. FAGOR offers the manufacturer or agent 12 months to sell and install the product. This means
that the warranty starting date may be up to one year after the product has left our warehouse so long as
the warranty control sheet has been sent back to us. This translates into the extension of warranty period
to two years since the product left our warehouse. If this sheet has not been sent to us, the warranty period
ends 15 months from when the product left our warehouse.
This warranty covers all costs of material and labour involved in repairs at FAGOR carried out to correct
malfunctions in the equipment. FAGOR undertakes to repair or replace their products within the period from
the moment manufacture begins until 8 years after the date on which it disappears from the catalog.
FAGOR has exclusive competence in deciding whether the repair enters within the term defined as the
warranty period.
EXCLUDING CLAUSES
Repairs will be carried out on our premises. Therefore, all expenses incurred as a result of trips made by
technical personnel to carry out equipment repairs, despite these being within the above-mentioned period
of warranty, are not covered by the warranty.
Said warranty will be applied whenever the equipment has been installed in accordance with instructions,
has not be mistreated, has not been damaged by accident or by negligence and has not been tampered
with by personnel not authorized by FAGOR. If, once servicing or repairs have been made, the cause of
the malfunction cannot be attributed to said elements, the customer is obliged to cover the expenses
incurred, in accordance with the tariffs in force.
Other warranties, implicit or explicit, are not covered and FAGOR AUTOMATION cannot be held responsible
for other damages which may occur.
CNC 8037

following conditions:
PERIOD
CONCEPT
EXCLUDING CLAUSES
When the customer does not choose the standard repair and just the faulty material has been replaced,
Warranty terms
the warranty will cover just the replaced parts or components within 12 months.
For sold parts the warranty is 12 moths length.
The SERVICE CONTRACT is available for the distributor or manufacturer who buys and installs our CNC
systems.
12 months.
Covers parts and labor for repairs (or replacements) at the network's own
facilities.
The same as those applied regarding the chapter on initial warranty.
If the repair is carried out within the warranty period, the warranty extension
has no effect.

1.2 General concepts
It offers all the features of the T model plus those specific of the TC mode. For example, the CNC
setup must be done in T mode.
In TC work mode, programs P900000 through P999999 are reserved for the CNC itself; in other
words, the user cannot use them as part-programs.
On the other hand, in order to work in TC mode, the CNC must have programs P999997 and
P999998 stored in its memory. Both programs are related to the software version and, consequently,
are not supplied by Fagor Automation. Whenever the CNC detects a new software version , it updates
these programs automatically and, for safety, it makes a copy of the old ones in the KeyCF.
Likewise, subroutines 0000 through 8999 are free to use and subroutines 9000 through 9999 are
reserved for the CNC.
Programs P999997 and P999998 are associated with the software version. Fagor Automation shall
not be held responsible of the CNC's performance if programs P999997 and P999998 have been
deleted from memory or do not match the software version.

General concepts
Subroutines reserved for the CNC
Some of the subroutines reserved for the CNC have the following meaning:
9998 Subroutine that the CNC will execute at the beginning of each part-program.
9999 Subroutine that the CNC will execute at the end of each part-program.
Every time a new part-program is edited, the CNC inserts a call to the relevant
subroutine at the beginning and at the end of the program.
Both subroutines must be defined by the machine manufacturer, even when no operation is to be
carried out at the beginning and at the end of the part-program. If they are not defined, the CNC
will issue an error message when trying to execute a part-program.
Example of how to define subroutine 9998.
( SUB 9998) ; Definition of subroutine 9998.
··· ; Program blocks defined by the OEM.
(RET) ; End of subroutine.
OEM (manufacturer's) parameters
OEM parameters and subroutines with OEM parameters can only be used in OEM programs; those
defined with the [O] attribute. Modifying one of these parameters in the tables requires an OEM
password.
GENERAL CONCEPTS
When using OEM parameters in the configuration programs, this program must have the [O]
attribute; otherwise, the CNC will issue an error when editing the user cycles that refer to OEM
parameters in write mode.

Programs reserved for the CNC
Some of the programs reserved for the CNC have the following meaning:
P999998
It is a program of subroutines that the CNC uses to interpret the programs edited in TC format and
execute them later on.
This program must not be modified. If this program is modified or deleted, Fagor Automation will not
be held responsible of the CNC's performance.
If the manufacturer needs to create his own subroutines (for home search, tool change, etc.), as well
as subroutines 9998 and 9999, they must be included in another program, for example P899999.
P999997
It is a text program that contains:
• The sentences and texts that will be displayed on the various screens of the TC mode.
• The help texts for the icons, in the work cycles, that are shown on the lower left side of the screen.
• The messages (MSG) and errors (ERR) that may come up at the TC model.
All the texts, messages and errors that may be translated into the desired language.
When modifying program 999997, it is recommended to make a backup copy of it because the CNC
replaces that program when selecting another language or updating the software version.
Considerations about the texts
The format of a line is as follows:
;Text number - explanatory comment (not displayed) - $Text to be displayed
All the program lines must begin with the ";" character and the text to be displayed must be preceded
by the "$" symbol. If a line begins with ";;", the CNC assumes that the whole line is a program
comment.
Examples:
;44 $M/MIN Is message 44 and displays the text "M/MIN"
;;General text The CNC treats it as a comment
;;44 Feedrate $M/MIN The CNC treats it as a comment
;44 Feedrate $M/MIN Is message 44 whose hidden explanatory comment is
"Feedrate" and displays the text "M/MIN"
Considerations about the messages
The format must be respected. Only the text after SAVEMSG may be translated:
Example:
Original message: N9500(MSG"SAVEMSG: TURNING CYCLE")
Translated message: N9500(MSG"SAVEMSG: ZILINDRAKETA ZIKLOA")

·TC· OPTION
SOFT: V01.4X
Considerations about the errors
The format must be respected. Only the text between quote marks ("text") may be translated.
Example:
Original text: N9000(ERROR"Cycle without roughing")
Translated text: N9000(ERROR"Arbastatu gabeko zikloa")
P998000 ··· P998999
They are the profiles defined by the user with the profile editor. In the TC mode, the user defines
them with 3 digits (from 0 to 999) and the CNC saves them internally as P998xxx.

Operating manual
1.2.1 P999997 text program management
On power up, the CNC copies the texts of program P999997 into the system memory.
• It checks if program P999997 is in user memory, if not, it looks in the KeyCF and if it is not there
either, it assumes the default ones and copies them into program P999997 of the user memory.
• When selecting mainland Chinese, it ignores program P999997 and it always assumes the
default ones.
If when switching from T mode to TC mode, it cannot find program P999997 because it has been
deleted, it is initialized like on power-up.
When modifying the texts of program P999997, turn the CNC off and back on so it assumes the
new texts.
The CNC carries out the following operations when changing the language, the software version
and when adding TC conversational modes (new software features):
• It copies, for safety, the texts that were being used into KeyCF as program P999993.
• It deletes the program P999997 that may be in the KeyCF.
• It assumes the new texts that are provided by default and copies them into program P999997
of the user memory.
To change the texts, after modifying program P999997, turn the CNC off and back on so it assumes
the new texts.
