What causes fault code CONV-014 (Conveyor Brake Fault)?

Brake coil burned out — cannot release electromagnetically. Brake air supply lost (air-release brakes). Brake disc worn beyond adjustment range. Brake voltage incorrect — 24V brake getting 12V or vice versa. Brake wiring disconnected or contactor coil failed

How do I fix fault code CONV-014?

Check brake type — spring-set/electrically released or air-released. For electric release: verify voltage at brake coil when energized. For air release: check air supply pressure at brake. Inspect brake disc for wear — measure and compare to minimum spec. Check brake release contactor — must energize when motor starts. If disc worn, adjust or replace — do NOT operate without brake on incline

Conveyor Brake Fault

CONV-014

Conveyor holding brake failed to engage or release. Incline/decline conveyors require brake for load holding.

Probable Causes (ranked)

Brake coil burned out — cannot release electromagnetically
Brake air supply lost (air-release brakes)
Brake disc worn beyond adjustment range
Brake voltage incorrect — 24V brake getting 12V or vice versa
Brake wiring disconnected or contactor coil failed

Fix Steps

1 Check brake type — spring-set/electrically released or air-released
2 For electric release: verify voltage at brake coil when energized
3 For air release: check air supply pressure at brake
4 Inspect brake disc for wear — measure and compare to minimum spec
5 Check brake release contactor — must energize when motor starts
6 If disc worn, adjust or replace — do NOT operate without brake on incline

Field Trick

Incline conveyor brakes are spring-set, power-release. If the conveyor creeps downhill when stopped, the brake disc is worn. Don't wait — replace before product slides.
