HC10918 — Film magazine locking solenoid EM1 failure

Agfa CT error code, reported by the Film Tray Pick-up Modules (Sensors, Motors & Actuators).

What HC10918 means

On DryStar 5500 (Type 5364/100) and DryStar 5503 (Type 5364/300) CT systems, status code HC10918 indicates: Film magazine locking solenoid EM1 failure. The code originates in the Film Tray Pick-up — Sensors, Motors & Actuators section of the Film Tray Pick-up Modules (Sensors, Motors & Actuators). Severity level alarm (Alarm).

Reported action: Check the connector on EM1, then connector P27 on the MEC board, reconnecting or replacing any faulty connector found. Check the wiring from EM1 to MEC/P27 with a multimeter and repair as needed. If the solenoid is confirmed defective, power off the printer and replace EM1; if the fault traces to the board, replace the MEC board..

Raised on the Drystar 5500/5503 when the film magazine locking solenoid EM1 is not connected or is malfunctioning. Filed in the pick-up module sensors/motors/actuators fault-code table.
