Time/Date Memory Backup Battery Amano recommends the replacement of this battery every five years. The battery maintains the time and date settings in the CP-5000 during power interruptions. Perform the following steps to replace the battery: 1. Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. Warning!: Do not proceed without disconnecting AC power. A serious shock hazard exists when the front cover is off and AC power is applied. 2. Remove the top cover. 3. Remove the front cover (see Chapter 2). 4.
7. Plug the power cord into the AC outlet. 8. Reprogram the date and time. Note: If the Full Power Reserve Battery option is installed, it might not be necessary to reprogram the date and time; verify the settings before proceeding. 9. 5-4 Replace the top cover.
Chapter 6: Troubleshooting Introduction If your CP-5000 should fail to operate properly, you should perform the following to determine the cause: • Visually inspect the unit. • Obtain a printout of programmed data and verify the programming. • Check that AC power is connected. • Check the condition of the time card, if it is dirty or damaged, it must be replaced. • Run the specified test in the Diagnostics menu. • Press the Reset key. • Reinitialize the unit to reset the unit to defaults.
• Run the Signal Test from the Diagnostics menu to check if the Signal relay is operating properly. If it is not, contact your local Amano dealer. Foreign Object or Material Only a time card should be inserted into the unit. If foreign objects or materials get inside the CP-5000, you must disconnect the AC power and the battery, and remove the foreign objects.
Error Messages There are nine possible error messages (Err 1 thru Err 9) that can appear in the display. When one of the errors occur, the CP-5000 will display the error message and may beep. The display will return to normal after an error message is displayed. Err 1 thru Err 9 Printing or Ribbon Error The time card sensors could not detect the Column Position Block. Possible reasons are: • The imprint quality (black color) is poor or too light. Replace the ribbon cassette.
• The slider on the printer carriage is not moving correctly due to a missing black plastic bushing in the small holes on the right or left side of the printer frame. Contact your local Amano dealer. • There is dirt, oil, dust, or ink residue on the surface of the time card or the time card surface is too rough for the time card sensor to detect the Column Position Block. Replace the card. • The background color of the time card is too dark.
• The block sensor is malfunctioning. If this condition persists, contact your local Amano dealer. Card not in Clock This message will be displayed if the card is not pulled into the transport mechanism after five attempts. This can occur if someone fails to release the card when attempting a punch. Block Read Sensor Error The block sensor is not detecting the Column Position Block after printing due to the card not moving (due to slippage or interference) or a block sensor malfunction.
Timing Sensor Error This error occurs when a card gets stuck or irregular card motion is detected by the card transport mechanism. Possible causes are: • • • A non-standard time card shape is used or the time card is forced into the card throat. In either case, the time card sensors detect the presence of the time card, but the unit is unable to flush out the card. The time card has to be removed manually to resolve this problem. The rubber roller in the card transport mechanism is dirty.
Display Related Problems Low Battery If the accessory battery is installed and operating the clock during a power failure, this display indicates that the battery is weak. During this low battery display indication, the time and date will be maintained. The number of prints made should be kept to a minimum to conserve power. There will be no loss of programmed data. The clock will return to normal operation when AC power is restored.
Hour Change If the time displayed is off by an hour (either up or down), one of the following may have occurred: • The programmed DST settings are incorrect. • The Enter or Change key was inadvertently pressed. Card Feed Problems Card Refused • Check whether the column of your time card is already completely filled with imprints. If all positions are already occupied by an imprint, two beeps will sound, and the card will be rejected without making an imprint. • Check the condition of the time card.
Card Refused, Date and Time in Display If a time card is inserted into the card throat, refused, and a beep sounds, the time card is too short. The time card sensors compare the top margin of the time card with the imprint position. If it can not reach this imprint position, the unit will beep and refuse the card. Imprint Problems Overprint The Column Position Block in the imprint is used by the CP-5000 to prevent overprinting.
Wrong Color Printed The CP-5000 has the ability to print in red or black ink. When the top cover is installed (Normal Mode), the default ink color is black, and the color of ink printed is determined by the settings in the Weekly Program. When the top cover is removed (Program Mode), the CP-5000 will print in red. If the wrong color is being printed by your CP-5000, please perform the following: • Obtain a print out of the programmed data from the CP-5000.
