Motor Control Diagnostic Codes
E21: No component A
transducer
1. Check transducer A connection at J3 on motor control board, page 33, and clean contacts.
2. Reverse A and B transducer connections. If error
moves to transducer B (E22), replace transducer A,
page 34. If error does not move, replace motor control board, page 32.
E22: No component B
transducer
1. Check transducer B connection at J8 on motor control board, page 33, and clean contacts.
2. Reverse A and B transducer connections. If error
moves to transducer A (E21), replace transducer B,
page 34. If error does not move, replace motor control board, page 32.
E24: Pressure imbalance
Upon initial start-up this diagnostic code will not
cause an alarm for 2 minutes.
If the pressure difference between components A
and B exceeds 500 psi (3.5 MPa, 35 bar), an E24
will occur. This default value is adjustable; see the
operation manual.
E24 can be an alarm or a warning, as desired. Set
DIP switch on motor control board ON for alarm,
OFF for warning. See page 32.
Fast E24 Errors
Fast E24 errors occur:
•within 10 seconds of turning the pumps on, or
•as soon as you trigger the gun.
E23: High fluid pressure
1. Relieve pressure. Verify low pressure with analog
gauges. Turn main power OFF then ON
. If error persists, do checks below.
2. If pressure imbalance is set to Warning instead of
Alarm (see page 32), an E23 will occur. See E24:
Pressure imbalance for causes and checks.
Causes of Fast E24 Errors
•one side of the gun is plugged.
•a pressure transducer has failed.
•damaged pump seals or check valve.
•no feed pressure or empty material drum
•plugged heater.
•plugged hose.
•plugged manifold.
•one PRESSURE RELIEF/SPRAY valve is leaking or
is set to PRESSURE RELIEF/CIRCULATION .
Checks for Fast E24 Errors
If a fast E24 error occurs, first check the readings of
the analog gauges.
•If the gauge readings are very close:
1. Clear the error (page 11) and try running the unit
again.
2. If E24 recurs and the gauge readings are still very
close, a pressure transducer has failed.
12312063S
Motor Control Diagnostic Codes
The digital display always shows the higher of the
two pressures. As soon as the higher analog pressure drops below the lower analog pressure, the
display changes to the new higher reading. Knowing
this, the following checks will show which transducer has failed, or if the motor control board has
failed.
3. For testing purposes only, set DIP switch 2 on the
motor control board to OFF. See page 32. This will
allow the Reactor to continue to run with a pressure
imbalance.
c. Run the unit until pressure is 1000-1500 psi
(7-10.5 MPa, 70-105 bar). Shut down the unit,
clear the alarm, and power back up, but do not
depressurize the unit.
d. Check the analog gauges to see which pressure
is higher, and check if the display matches.
If the higher gauge and display match,
that
transducer is communicating with the motor
control board. Continue with step e.
4. To test if the failure is with the transducer or the
socket on the motor control board:
a. Reverse connections at J3 and J8 on the motor
control board.
b. Run the unit until pressure is 1000-1500 psi
(7-10.5 MPa, 70-105 bar).
c. If the problem stays on the same side as before,
replace the motor control board. If the problem
appears to move to the other side, replace the
transducer.
•If the gauge readings are not very close:
1. Secure bleed lines in grounded waste containers, or
route back to respective component A or B supply
drum. Reduce pressure of higher component by
slightly turning PRESSURE RELIEF/SPRAY valve
for that component toward PRESSURE
RELIEF/CIRCULATION , until gauges show
balanced pressures.
If the higher gauge and display do not
match,
that transducer is not communicating
with the motor control board. Check wire connections and replace transducer, page 34.
e. Turn pumps off. Reduce pressure of higher
component by slightly turning PRESSURE
RELIEF/SPRAY valve for that component
toward PRESSURE RELIEF/CIRCULATION
, while watching the display and the analog
gauges. As soon as the higher analog pressure
drops below the lower analog pressure, the display should change to the new higher reading.
Continue reducing the original higher pressure
an additional 200 psi (1.4 MPa, 14 bar); digital
display should stop dropping.

Turn PRESSURE RELIEF/SPRAY valve only
enough to balance pressure. If you turn it completely, all pressure will bleed off.
2. If you cannot get the pressures to balance:
a. Check for damaged pump seals or check
valves.
b. Check if you’ve run out of material.
c. Check for a plugged fluid path by using the feed
pump to push fluid through the gun manifold.
3. If you are able to balance pressures, try running the
unit.

Motor Control Diagnostic Codes
4. If a fast E24 error occurs again, and the gauges
readings are not very close:
a. Check and clean the gun inlet screens.
b. Check and clean the gun mix chamber impinge-
ment ports and center port. See gun manual.
Some mix chambers have counter bored impingement ports, requiring two drill sizes to clean completely.
Slow E24 Errors
Slow E24 errors occur gradually. The pressures are balanced when you begin spraying, but slowly become
imbalanced until an E24 occurs.
Causes of Slow E24 Errors
•one side of the gun is partially plugged.
•the A or B proportioner pump has failed.
•the A or B feed pump has failed.
•the A or B feed pump pressure is set too high.
•the A or B proportioner pump inlet screen is
plugged.
•the hose is not heating properly.
•kinked supply hose.
•bottom of drum is damaged, causing blockage of
feed pump inlet.
•drum is not vented.
1. Turn main power OFF .
2. Allow motor to cool completely. Check continuity
between pins 1 and 2 on connector J9 on the motor
control board, page 32. If the resistance is infinity,
the motor thermal switch or the wire harness is bad.
Check wiring, measure thermal switch continuity at
motor, and replace failed part.
3. Unplug motor from J9 on motor control board. Install
jumper across pins 1 and 2 on board. If error still
occurs, replace motor control board.
4. If the E27 error is still occurring, the problem is with
the motor control board.
E30: Momentary loss of
communication
If communication is lost between the display and the
motor control board, the display will normally show E99.
The motor control board will register E30 (the red LED
will blink 30 times). When communications are reconnected, the display may show E30 briefly (no more than
2 seconds). If the display shows E30 continuously, there
is a loose connection causing the display and board to
repeatedly lose and regain communication.
Failure of a pumpline switch or switch mechanism may
Causes of E27 Errors
•Motor temperature is too high. Reduce pressure,
gun tip size, or move Reactor to a cooler location.
Allow 1 hour for cooling.
•Make sure there is no obstruction to fan airflow.
Ensure that the motor/fan shroud is installed.
•Check that the motor overtemperature wire assembly is plugged into J9 on the motor control board,
page 33.
•If the preceding checks do not correct the problem,
perform the following tests:

result in a high cycle rate, causing an E31 to occur.
Replace the switch or switch mechanism. See Pumps Do Not Reverse Direction, page 26.
E31 may also occur if the system is modified to produce
a higher flow rate.
E99: Loss of communication
If communication is lost between the motor control display and the motor control board, or the temperature
control display and the temperature control module, the
affected display will show E99.
1. Check all wiring between the display and the motor
control board and the temperature control module.
Pay close attention to the wire crimping at J13 on
the motor control board (page 33) and (C) on the
temperature control module (page 35). Unplug and
re-plug connectors.
2. Incoming voltage should be 230 Vac. Check the
temperature control module voltage at terminal
block (805) on the circuit breaker module (see page
68). Check the motor control board voltage at
motor/pumps circuit breaker (813), see page 30.
•Check if temperature control module or motor
control board is causing error:
Motor Control Diagnostic Codes
3. Swap display connection on temperature control
module (C) with display connection on motor control
board (J13).
4. If error no longer occurs, the board or module was
at fault. Switch connections back to ensure connector was not poorly connected.

PROBLEMCAUSESOLUTION
Hydraulic pump does not develop
pressure. Low or zero pressure with
screeching noise.
Pump is not primed or lost its prime.Check electric motor rotation. Both
motor and hydraulic pump must
rotate counterclockwise when viewed
from shaft end. If rotation is incorrect,
reverse leads L1 and L2. See Con-nect Electrical Cord in Operation
manual 312062.
Check dipstick to ensure that hydraulic reservoir is properly filled (see
Operation manual).
Check that inlet fitting is fully tight, to
ensure no air is leaking into the pump
inlet.
To prime pump, run unit at lowest
pressure setting and slowly increase
pressure. In some cases it may be
necessary to remove motor cover
and drive belt to allow for manual
(counterclockwise) rotation of
hydraulic pump. Turn fan pulley by
hand. Verify oil flow by removing oil
filter to see flow into filter manifold.
Reinstall oil filter. Do NOT operate
unit without a properly installed oil filter.
Screeching noise is characteristic of
If noise continues longer than 30 seccavitation and is normal at initial
startup for a maximum of 30 seconds.
onds, press motor key to shut
off the motor. Check that the inlet fit-
tings are tight and that the pump has
not lost its prime.
Hydraulic fluid is too hot.Ensure that the reservoir is properly
serviced. Improve ventilation to allow
more efficient heat dissipation.
Electric motor operating in wrong
direction for 3 Phase system.
Motor must operate counter-clock-
wise from pully end.
Drive belt loose or broken.Check drive belt condition. Replace if
broken.
