Overview

To resolve a fault, first identify your controller type based on the symptoms or terminology in the fault description. This will help you determine the correct troubleshooting path.

Hydraulic Controller (Hydro:Evolved) Issues

If your fault includes terms related to:

  • Viscosity / oil

    • related keywords: Viscosity Mode, Run Time, Rest Time, Cycles Allowed, Allow Calls, Viscosity Max Cycles, Viscosity Operation, Low Oil, Low Oil Mode, oil temperature, Oil Over Heat, Low Pressure, pump, hydraulic cylinder

    • Valve / valve board

      • related keywords: valve, valve board, primary valve board, secondary valve board, third valve board, fourth valve board, Valve Type Select, SR Valve, high-speed valve, leveling valve, Valve Disable Bitmap, Maxton, Maxton Valve Bypass, Bucher, Blain, UPH Valve MON, DNH Valve MON, INSP Valve MON

  • Soft starter

    • related keywords: soft starter, primary soft starter, secondary soft starter, third soft starter, Run With One Soft Starter, SM (Start Motor), SS Fault, SS OC, SS OVV, SS UNDV, SS Phase Miss, SS Phase Seq, SS CAN Bus Rst, SS Offline, Siemens, Sprecher + Schuh

  • Adaptive slowdown / hydro slowdown

    • related keywords: Adaptive Slowdown, Adaptive Slowdown System, Generate Speeds and Thresholds, Gen Thrshlds & Dist, slowdown factor, Adjust Leveling Time, Overshooting, Extended Leveling Time, Level Maximum Run Distance

  • TSRD

    • related keywords: TSRD, Terminal Stopping Reducing Distance, TSRD Distance, TSRD Debounce Limit, TSRD Offset From NTS, TSRD ODL, TSRD OVSP

  • Jack resync

    • related keywords: Jack Resync, Jack Resync Time, dual jacks, jack cylinders, plungers, resync operation
  • Pressure

  • Battery lowering device

    • related keywords: battery lowering device, BLD, Battery Test Time, Battery Check Fail, Emergency Battery Fault

This typically indicates a hydraulic system issue.
