New Gecko Faulting - RED LED
 

Just picked up a new Gecko 201X today. All axes are in working order. However.......

The new Gecko is faulting with a red LED. Tried to reset but no luck. Haven't found any other reference on the Gecko site yet. What is going on and how do I fix this?

Voltage is measuring 56.6 like the 3 existing Geckos. Current is set at 3A same as the others. Opened the drive and blew some air to clean it. Nothing.

I feel like the Gecko Gods are against me in completing the machine :D

Did you try to put in into a known working spot?

Suggest you disconnect the motor from the Gecko at the Gecko end, and measure the resistance of the wires + motor to see if it is what you expect - the same low resistance value across both A and B phases, open circuit between phases, open circuit to ground.

I had some problems with the gecko related to loosy conectors .... does change anything if you move with yours fingers the conectors ? I had to dismantle the conector and tight the contacts ....

Sergio, I called Gecko when I first had the problem but don't remember what technical support told me. I remember testing it with a multi-meter and everything checked out so I kept it in the control box. It's still in use and I haven't had any problem with that axis.

I don't use Gecko, but are your signal ground connected to the power ground?
They should not be connected.

Ken, Tuan fixed his problem more than a year ago. Sergio only saw his post yesterday :)

opps :o
