Help needed for Favero FA-05

**El Chucko** · 05-13-2006 12:51 AM

Our club has 3 Favero FA-05 scoring machines. They have the latest chips with the latest timings. When they are set to "foil", but the fencers haven't hooked up yet, they continue to buzz and light up off target.

One of the features of these machines is that they are supposed to automatically turn the annoying buzzer off when the foils aren't hooked up yet. This would be a wonderful thing, but our machines won't do it.

Is there some way to fix this? Is there just some setting that needs to be changed? Help!

They do this when one fencer hasn't hooked up yet, or both? Because they always will buzz as long as one is connected.

Sorry. For some reason, I was thinking that I had posted this question within another user's thread, and tried unsuccessfully to search for it. It didn't occur to me to check my own previous posts.

Anyway, we just updated the chips and thought that that might solve the problem. It did not. I have tried contacting Favero. No luck. It amazes me that this has been such a difficult problem to solve.

Out of curiousity, have you tried leaving the machine on w/out the floor cords/reels connected? I mean, if there's some cross bleed on the b and c, could that confuse the machine into thinking that there is a (broken since it won't close the circuit) foil connected? A long shot, but hey, easy to test, right?
