Yes, unfortunately it is the PEC camera which checks Fids and is used for Feeder Teach. I have found that you do need a service check before you can register with UIC. Do you have access to their database still? Thank you

We had some defective camera's on our GSM's. The repair guys wanted $12,500US for two replacements from UIC. I found rebuilds at this place in New York State for $249 each. They have been working great for two years now. I even got back $30 for the o

I have seen this before. Sounds like that You are having problem with the vision box, located in the rear left of the machine; that is if you are using the old vision system, the newer Lantern vision card is located in the VME chassi in lower front r
