Troubleshooting Using Boot Diagnostics

TigerStop Line
(TigerStop, TigerCrossCut, TigerFence, TigerRack, TigerTurbo, HeavyDuty 2)
Version 5.xx
TigerStop Boot Diagnostics allows us to test oll of TigerStops sub systems. Use the instructions
and the Version 5 Boot Diagnostics Worksheet (p#) to troubleshoot your TigerStop. Its important
to note that Boot Diagnostics will not tell you what the problem is. It will show you what sub
system your problem is in. The worksheet will give you more test procedures to run to find your
issue.

STOP
1. Hold .

2. Power up while holding the button.

3. If done properly, you will see the boot diagnostics screen.

Boot Diagnostics Screen Explained

Line 1
Shows the encoder counts. Will count when TigerStop
carriage moves. Counts positive when moving away and
negitive when moving towards the tool.
Line 2
Shows the motor drive and max breakaway force. Shows as
a positive number when motor is moving away and negitive
when motor is moving towards the tool.
Line 3
Displays two letter sensor indicators. Also shows keypad
button presses.

Line 4
Shows power going to the controller. Also shows power
comming from the wall to TigerStop amplifier.
4. Hold for 20 seconds. If the motor moves, put a number 1 in the worksheet box labeled
Motor In. If the motor doesnt move, put a number 0 in the space.

5. Hold for 20 seconds. If the motor moves, put a number 1 in the worksheet box labeled
Motor Out. If the motor doesnt move, put a number 0 in the space.

6. Pull the carriage, by hand, all the way to the TigerStop motor box. Once there, check the 3rd
line of the screen. If it shows ME, but a number 1 in the worksheet box labled ME. If you
get something other than ME or if ME was there before movement, put a 0 in the space.

7. Pull the carriage, by hand, all the way to the far end. Once there, check the 3rd line of the
screen. If it shows IE, but a number 1 in the worksheet box labled IE. If you get something
other than IE or if IE was there before movement, put a 0 in the space.

8. Look at the encoder number and write down what the number is. This number should count
positive as you move the carriage out and should count negitive as you move the carraige in.
This number will show roughly 2000 counter per inch. If the encoder seems to work as per
these guidelines, put a number 1 in the worksheet box labeled ENC. If the encoder number
doesnt work as specified, put a 0 in the space.

9. You will now have a fully filled out worksheet. Use the worksheet key to find the next
diagnostic steps.

1. Power off TigerStop using the power button on the TigerStop motor box.

Program
2. Hold List .

3. Power up while holding the button.

4. If done properly, you will see the boot diagnostics screen.

Boot Diagnostics Screen Explained

Line 1
Shows the encoder count (upper right corner) and the motor
drive (middle).
Line 2
Shows the condition of the end sensors and shows any
keypad button presses.

1. Hold for 20 seconds. If the motor moves, put a number 1 in the worksheet box labeled
Motor In. If the motor doesnt move, put a number 0 in the space.

2. Hold for 20 seconds. If the motor moves, put a number 1 in the worksheet box labeled
Motor Out. If the motor doesnt move, put a number 0 in the space.

3. Pull the carriage, by hand, all the way to the TigerStop motor box. Once there, check the
2nd line of the screen. If it shows ME, but a number 1 in the worksheet box labled ME. If
you get something other than ME or if ME was there before movement, put a 0 in the space.

4. Pull the carriage, by hand, all the way to the far end. Once there, check the 2nd line of the
screen. If it shows IE, but a number 1 in the worksheet box labled IE. If you get something
