WARNING!
Procedures in this manual shall be completed only by expert personal, with
thorough knowledge of the forming machine setup and process, and duly trained
on Emhart FlexSIS system and associated equipment.
Intended Use
The FPS Test Unit is designed to test and troubleshoot the different FPS valves used on
the Emhart Glass forming machines.
Range of Application
Refer to Table 2-1.
Manual Description
This manual is the original instruction notice of the Emhart Glass FPS Test Unit.
This manual gives a functional description of the FPS Test Unit processor unit. It
describes the testing procedures for the FPS valves.
NOTE 1: Illustrations in this manual are for reference only and might not reflect current changes to
the engineering drawings for the equipment. When an illustration in this manual is
derived from an Emhart Glass drawing, always refer to the original drawing to verify that
the information is correct.
Manual Conventions
This manual uses a variety of highlighted text to emphasize important information.
Always pay careful attention to this information. The types of highlighted text are:
DANGER!
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury. Use this alert box only for the most extreme situations.
WARNING!
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION!
Indicates a potentially hazardous that, if not avoided, might result in minor or
moderate injury. It can also indicate possible loss of materials or damage to the
equipment.
NOTE X.Y: Used to identify unusual or unexpected conditions or to identify the need for alternate
procedures. It is also used for emphasis when a DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION is
not required.
X is the chapter number and Y the note number.
In addition, there are some conventions related to data input and use of the
consoles and display screens that are used throughout the manual.
START
Names of controls are shown as all capital letters. Where a system control panel
uses symbols to label the controls, the name of the symbol plate is used in the text
in place of the symbol.
[ENTER]
Used to indicate a particular key on the keyboard of the console or terminal in this
case the “ENTER” key. With minor exceptions which are noted in the manual, the
proprietary Emhart Glass software, as well as the operating system software (for
example, Windows), are not case-sensitive and information will be interpreted the
same whether it is uppercase, lowercase, or a combination of the two. However,
certain other software is case- sensitive, usually requiring lowercase entry.
Therefore, to distinguish when it is necessary to be careful with uppercase and
lowercase data entry, the words “EXACTLY AS SHOWN” will be used after data
when it is necessary to enter the data with specific uppercase and lowercase
information. The brackets or bars should still not be typed.
“Message”
Used to indicate prompt lines or other information which will be generated on the
console screen by the system. In some cases, where multiple lines are shown, the
quotation marks may be omitted. Where it is necessary to differentiate between
system prompts and user-entered text in descriptive information, the system
prompts are not bold-face.
(x)
Used to refer to an index number of an illustration in the manual.
Data Entry
When data is to be typed with no additional keys pressed, the instruction "type" is used.
When data is to be typed and followed by the use of the [ENTER] key or some other
data entry means as explained in the manual, the instruction "enter" is used.
With minor exceptions, which are noted in the manual, the proprietary Emhart Glass
software, as well as the operating system software (for example Windows®), is not
case-sensitive. Information will be interpreted the same whether it is uppercase,
lowercase, or a combination of the two.

1.1 Introduction
WARNING!
Everyone who works on or around this equipment including, but not limited to,
operators, maintenance personnel, and supervisory personnel must read and
understand the information in this chapter prior to commencing work on or around this
equipment. Failure to conform to the information in this chapter could lead to property
damage or serious personal injury, including possible loss of body parts or death.
The FPS test unit is a device to test and display results from testing FPS valves. It can
only be used with standalone FPS valves in the workshop. Always use the FPS test unit
in a clean and cooled air environment room.
This chapter describes proper safety procedures to follow when working around this
equipment.
WARNING!
In addition to the safety information included in this section, always observe all specific
safety information included with the instructions in the balance of this manual. Also,
read and understand all safety information included in the instruction manual for the
forehearth, feeder, shear, gob distributor, IS machine, and any other equipment
associated with the production line.
WARNING!
Failure to conform to the above instruction could lead to damage of the FPS test unit.

2.1 Introduction
This chapter describes how to use the FPS test unit, Emhart part number 59-90316, and
contains information about all necessary equipment, technical specifications, and how
to proceed when performing tests of FPS valves listed below:
Table 2-1: Type of FPS valves supported
2.2 Description
The FlexPressure System (FPS) test unit is a troubleshooting device for FPS valves. It
automatically tests all FPS valves from original versions to later ones, with a single and
non-stop test.
The FPS test unit measures rise-time, fall-time, leakage, oscillation, and deviation of
output pressure on the FPS valves.
Table 2-2: FPS test unit characteristics
Characteristic Data
Emhart part number 59-90316
Size (H x W x D) 220 x 535 x 500 (mm)
Weight 28 kg CAUTION: Heavy load!
Material Plastic housing
Utility Data
Power supply 93-264V 47-63Hz
Air supply pressure 4.5 to 10 bar
Temperature 10 to 50oC (non condensing)
2.2.3 Connection
Connectors and plug are located on the right-hand side of the test unit.
CAUTION!
Make sure there is no under voltage or under pressure condition on the test unit.
Before every test, the FPS test unit and valve must be properly connected and installed
to minimize the risk of error during FPS valve troubleshooting.
IMPORTANT!
After the FPS valve been connected, let the test unit be activated for 10 minutes
before starting the test, so that the electronics in the valve gets warm.
If the circuit breaker has tripped it has to be reset before every new test.
NOTE 2.1: Strictly follow the piping recommendations in paragraph 2.2.3.1!
In order to test it, the valve needs to be mounted on the adapter block (see Figure 2-5).
1. Check that the pin (4) fits into the corresponding bore of the FPS valve.
2. Check that the gasket (3) between the valve (2) and the adapter block (5) is in place.
3. Mount and tighten on the four screws (1).
Not shown on Figure 2-5, two flexible pipes are connected to both sides of the adapter
block in position 1 and 2.
NOTE 2.2: The same procedure applies for both ED07 and ED12.
NOTE 2.4: The grey touch buttons around the display have no function.
See Figure 2-9:
1. TCC (Test Cycle Counter): It displays the count of completed test cycles.
2. EN (Error Number): It displays which type of error is detected (see chapter 2.4).
3. EC (Error Counter): It displays the number of errors.
4. EE (Electronic Error): It displays malfunction of electronics in the FPS valve.
2.3.8 Self-test
The self-test is used to check the FPS test unit itself.
IMPORTANT!
The self-test shall be ALWAYS performed prior to testing a FPS valve, or if the number
of rejected valves is abnormally high.
1. Make sure the test unit is powered off.
2. Use the jumper cable from the self-test kit to bypass female connector 3 and 5 (see
Figure 2-7).
3. Bypass pneumatic connections 1 and 2 (see Figure 2-3) using the self-test kit
jumper pipe.
4. Select the self-test program by setting switch D=0. Switches A, B and C have no
function.
5. Switch on the power and pressure supplies.
6. Push the test button to delete the memory. The test button light starts flashing.
7. Push the test button again to start the test program. The test button light is green
illuminated, and the current pressure is displayed [“TP: 3.5 (+/-0.3) bar”].
8. After 5 seconds the results are shown on the display. Either EST (Error Self Test)=0
(Test OK) or EST=1 (Test Error). In addition the corresponding test monitoring lights
indicates the result. The test button light goes off.
CAUTION!
If the self-test shows an error (EST=1), please contact Emhart Glass.
