    Question Low air pressure error and I've replaced lots already... help?

    I run a Multicam 3000, not even two years old, and recently I got a MODBUS TIMEOUT error, adjusted the wires connecting to the RIO board, working for the moment. since then I've had to replace two of the solenoid at the top of the spindle area to stop a air leak, followed by continuing errors saying there is Low Air Pressure, I have adjusted the air pressure sensor but to no avail.
    I currently have a little red light on the top of the #2 solenoid. I've removed the solenoids to be sure there is not debris visible in or on the air manifold.
    Fiddled with more wire connections to be sure they were connected well.

    ...I'm running out of ideas. Got any?

    Thank,

    JOE

    Check incoming air pressure.
    Increase incoming air pressure.
    Check for sticky solenoid valve or clogged filter/lines.
    Replace pressure switch.
    Verify pressure at pressure switch with gauge.
    Remove pressure switch and test connected directly to air source.
    Check wiring to/from pressure switch.
    Find out which wire does what and bypass pressure switch as a temporary test to see if the switch is at fault.
