Richard,
Maybe you can clarify the 680 HWH system's process for me. I thought the motor runs at one speed and hydraulic pressure was fairly constant. That the movements and functions were controlled by the control box sending electrical signals to the solenoids that open and allow the function to complete. Once complete the control box then closes that solenoid and opens the next solenoid to start the next function and so on until the opening or closing of the slide is complete.
On the 680 system there is no sensor for the control box to know where the top of the slide is. It strictly operates off the bottom of the slide. Therefore if the top of the slide is not closed flush then when the pin deploys it misses the hole. So if the pin is missing the hole the problem is most likely an adjustment problem of the slide itself.
Tom has the 2000 series HWH system that added the magnets on the top of the slide to try to recognize where the top of the slide is located. Once Tom properly located where the magnets should be mounted I believe his locking pins now deploy properly.
Please help me correct my understanding and maybe help others................................
