    Hey all,

    I have a problem that a couple of my mechanics are stumped on too. I've been regularly getting a "Restricted Air Flow" error that shows in Central Cabinet on the console. It is a yellow status error that shuts the press off impression. We typically reboot and it goes away for an hour or two.

    Yesterday, we also noticed that when it does this, we lose our blow down air in the delivery. That made us think it might be a bad blower motor somewhere, but those aren't tied to the Central Cabinet.


    Anyone have any ideas? Thinking it might be a temperature sensor, as we have replaced both the intake and output fans at the top of the central air cabinet with no luck.

    Hi sir
    in the cabinet there is a blower which is controlled by a variator check its operation and if a circuit breaker has fallen, the position of the blower in general is located above the compressor when empty, also check the air pressure in the yellow pipe above the step (blowing air control pressure), there is a sensor in the electrical cabinet which ensures that this pressure is good or not which gives the error of the air pressure is limited, also check the blower variator and check the error history
    Good luck
