Note:  Do not replace the speaker,  the speaker does not produce the beeper sound.

Machines with SKIBF  (34-4243G) PCB the beeper is mounted outside and connected to the SKIBF.  This beeper can tested with a 9V battery.

SKBIF Troubleshooting

  1. Remove the LCD back cover.
  2. Check J13 backlight and J16 LCD data connectors. Make sure the connectors are seated, and wires are not broken.
  3. Check the wires going to the [POWER ON], [POWER OFF], [EMERGENCY STOP], [FEED HOLD] and [CYCLE START] 
    contactors. Make sure the connections are tight.
  4. Look at the status LED lights.  Refer to the LED table below.
  5. Set the volt meter to DC. Check for +12Vdc supply voltage at J20 you should measure approximately +12Vdc. If this voltage is lower than +11Vdc or not present make sure J20 connector is properly seated, and trace the voltage back to the LVPS. Refer to the above electrical diagram.
  6. The SKBIF PCB generates +3.3Vdc, +5Vdc. Check these voltages at the following test points (TP).
    • Put the black probe at TP(GND) and the red probe at TP (+3.3Vdc) you should measure approximately +3.3Vdc.
    • Put the black probe at TP (GND) and the red probe at TP (+5Vdc) you should measure approximately +5Vdc.
    • Put the black probe at TP (GND) and the red probe at TP (+12Vdc) you should measure approximately +12Vdc.

    If these voltages are low or no voltage is measured, disconnect all the connectors from the SKBIF PCB except the J20 connector, and measure again. If after doing this there is still no voltage then the SKBIF PCB is defective.

    If after disconnecting the components, the voltages are correct, then there is a short circuit in one of the components connected to the SKIBF for example, remote jog handle, handle Jog, etc. Determine which component is at fault.
