⚡ Capacitance diminished
Capacitance diminished
The error "Capacitance Diminished" or "CAPACITANCE CHANGE" or "CAPACITANCE LOST" means that the height sensor does not see metal under the nozzle.
❌ Causes by frequency ❌
0) At machine startup, sensor didn't detect metal and went into error;
1) Rusty metal (iron oxide works worse with inductance);
2) Ceramic ring broken;
3) Coaxial cable doesn't transmit information from sensors to signal amplifier;
4) Data cable from amplifier to control board rubbed through;
5) Ceramic ring installed incorrectly, contacts on ring and nozzle assembly don't match;
6) Contact on nozzle assembly sinks in.
❗SOLUTIONS❗
(follow the order until the error is eliminated)
1) Ensure ceramic ring integrity and correct installation;
• IF BROKEN, REPLACE;
2) Ensure that the gold contact in the nozzle assembly does not "sink" inside;
• IF SINKING, NEED NEW NOZZLE ASSEMBLY;
3) ❗Perform full height sensor calibration cycle (button below takes you to video)❗;
4) Replace coaxial cable from nozzle assembly to signal amplifier;
5) Check data cable integrity from amplifier to control board, test wires with multimeter;
• IF FAULTY, REPLACE.
