Error Message:

ALE: move clamps to park position, then select RESUME

Applies to:

• Platesetter_3244
• Trendsetter_400/800
• Trendsetter_400/800_Auto

Service Information:

If clear is selected the requirement to move the clamps to the parked position can be avoided in some cases but the higher level command usually has to be cleared as well and the plate retrieved through monitor commands.

Note that on Platesetter fw Thermal 2.23 and higher, GETCLAMP supports GETCLAMP PARK and GETCLAMP LAST.

Operator Action:

Remove plate from drum if necessary, then move clamps to park position, then select RESUME

Cause:

• During engine init, if the TECs are not on the backbone and the drum status indicates empty or fly-off, then you have to park the clamps and resume or clear the engine init.
• At the start of a Pick, or any time during the pick, if the TECs are not on the backbone and the drum status indicates empty or fly-off, then you have to park the clamps and resume or abort the pick and initialize the ALE.
• At the start of a load, or any time during the load, if the TECs are not on the backbone, then you have to park the clamps and resume, or clear the getclamp and clear the load and then unload (if there is a good plate on the drum) or getclamp.
• At the start of a process, or any time during the process, if the TECs are not on the backbone, then you have to park the clamps and resume, or clear the getclamp and clear the process and then getclamp.
