    Adast 557 DI / Presstek FEEDER AIR Failure
    Press runs, feeder turns on, pumps on, Blast works,....
    No Suction to feeder gauge / suction cups..

    I could use the manual supplement to the counter, tl 22, 23 buttons..

    Any thoughts
    Thanks

    Yes it has A suction valve, It is operational, the feeder air on button even "LIGHTS UP" .. but no suction.
    the pump hose to the valve has suction, it's under the feed board. I have traced the wires back to the control relay #609 no voltage there..
    I jumped the 609 wire to a 24v source and the valve opens.
    The press has a counter override to the feeder, it can be turn it off. I don't use this function. but don't have the manual to see what it's doing..
    Thanks

    Normally, this equipment, has Circuit breaker or some models FUSES,.

    If has circuit breaker, Reset the circuit breaker a test if there are +24Vdc in the solenoid, use the DMM.

    If has a Fuses, use the DMM . for to open or continuity in the fuses, and replace. Clean the terminals of breaker, and fusese whatever, and tight the wires, and test again if work the Solenoid.

    If the solenoid finally Does NOT work, possible, you have a damage bridge rectifier circuit open, or short circuit.

    Thanks, for the info, I reset all the circuit breakers, and it doesn't have fuses, the control relay doesn't energize the wire to the valve..
    I may have to wire p my own control switch from a 24v lead..

    As I did indicate before
    You have a defective Bridge rectifier.
    Replace it.
