Machines affected

All machines with Firmware 0 or Firmware 1.

Component

UDRC, Particulate Filter. POC Monitor, PACC Monitor

Error

27010/43010:  The particulate filter is full. You must replace the particulate filter to continue imaging.

Symptoms

Flow is below the minimum allowable. You may have recently seen the error number 27009/43009:  particulate filter almost full.

Cause

The debris removal particulate filter is almost full, or the NVS/software parameters are incorrect, or a brand new particulate filter has been installed.

Solution

Cause 1:   The particulate filter is full.
Solution:  Replace the particulate filter and order a replacement. See the label on the back of the cabinet, the user guide, or the filter itself for the filter part number.

Note:  Once the filter is full you cannot image plates until it is replaced.

Cause 2:  Incorrect NVS/software parameters.
Solution:  Type set debris or look up the UDRC registry values. Compare these values to the master reference tables on page 1 of the Debris Removal Firmware Guide - Parameter Values, Descriptions and Flowchart.

Cause 3:  The error message displays right after a brand new particulate filter has been installed.
Solution:

1. Clean the debris collection nozzle, especially the small pressure sensing hole in the nozzle.
2. Check along the length of the vacuum collection hose for small holes, poor hose connections, or kinks.
3. If this is a UDRC-L (with chemical filter), inspect the top of the chemical filter. There should be a white filter paper just below the filter screen. If there is a leak in the particulate filter (blown gasket or puncture), the filter paper will no longer be white (its new colour depends on the media type). To clean the chemical filter:
• Blow off the accumulation of debris on the chemical filter paper using compressed air
• Reinstall the chemical filter
• Check for an increase in the system flow rate.
4. Check that the UDRC main power is plugged into a receptacle with sufficient voltage (200 VAC).
