Error code C-1246 for Bizhub Press 1250 1250P 1052 Bizhub Pro 951

Code: C-1246
Classification: SD: SD-513 abnormality
Cause:
After the gripper motor (M26) starts the home position search operation, the gripper open close home sensor (PS39) does not become active within a specified period of time. Alternatively, a specified period of time has passed since M36 starts the operation. However, the gripper open close sensor (PS40), the gripper angle sensor/1 (PS41), or the gripper angle sensor/2 (PS42) does not become active.

 Measures to take when alert occurs:

         The main body and the option stop immediately.                                                 
Estimated abnormal parts:
  • Gripper open close home sensor (PS39)
  • Gripper open close sensor  (PS40)
  • Gripper angle sensor/1 (PS/41)
  • Gripper angle sensor/2 (PS/42)
  • Gripper motor (M26)
  • SD drive board (PCB2)
  • SD control board (PCB1)
Correction:
         Press the help key to activate and deactivate the sub power switch (SW2) of the main body.
Note: 
  • Faulty part isolation allows you to use the machine temporarily.
  • The message "Please call service" and "Press [Help] to disengage" are alternately displayed.   
  • When you press the help key, the message "Please turn on the power again" is displayed.  
Solution:
  1. Check the grip roller drive section, and if there is any abnormality, clean or repair it.
  2. Check the connector connection and the wiring harness between PCB2 and the motor, PCB1 and the sensor. Then, repair them when there is any abnormality.(Wiring diagram: SD-513 (2/2): 6-B) (Wiring diagram: SD-513 (2/2): 19-O, 20-O). 
  3. Check the connector connection and the wiring  harness between PCB2 and PCB1, and if there is any abnormality, repair them.
  4. Check the I/O drive of the motor and the coupling of the gear, and repair or replace it when  there is any abnormality.
  5. Check I/O and the operation of the sensor, and if there is any abnormality, repair or replace it.
  6. Replace PS39, PS40, PS41 or PS42.
  7. Replace M6.
  8. Replace PCB2.
