Want to avoid the adjustment procedure. Service manual doesn't show any pics of the sensors as they are part of the main drive assy.

    Do i really need to remove the whole main drive assy to get to the sensors to clean them?? It seems like a lot of work just to get to the sensors, does anybody know where these sensors are in relation to the K PC drum motor for example?

    Thanks a lot!
    No , you donĀ“t need to remove the main drive unit but be careful and they are right behind the K PC drum motor , in BLSJ you have a bulletin about this sensors .

    Re: Bizhub C550 P-31 warning for K-imaging unit home position sensor error

    I have the same issue but on a C552, is there away to blow out the sensors from inside the machine, say by removing all IU's then blower brush air through the back of the machine, or is that a bit hit & miss!?

    Unfortunately it's not that easy, you have to access it from the back.

    Re: Bizhub C550 P-31 warning for K-imaging unit home position sensor error

    So what do I need to remove to clean these sensors on a C452? & how long should I allow to do it?

    Thanks

    Check the manual for location, but you can access it by swinging out the controller box, I got in there with a can of air spray gave it a blast clean all good. Word of caution the disk is fragile & easy to warp so dont try & wipe it clean!

    according to the manual I can see these here Screenshot by Lightshot and actual sensors here Screenshot by Lightshot

    BUT the question - where to stick air blower trying to blow these sensors? Do i need to dismantle PWB-MFP plate to reach them? What to unscrew to swing controler board?

    What should I take out reaching them for a blow?

    Post Re: Bizhub C550 P-31 warning for K-imaging unit home position sensor error

    updates - from yesterday was trying to get to the main drive. So i did it (8 hours of continuous work, was trying to do it very accurately). Still don't know how to dissemble it and actually afraid to - because I think will need to calibrate main drive unit?

    But anyway decided to blow with air. Were looking a best spot to blow and I have noticed the thin encoder disk. while rotating motor - I can see it is bent a little on one side.

    Here are the pictures

    Screenshot_1.jpgScreenshot_2.jpg

    Should I start looking a new main drive unit or take out all drive unit and try to unbend the encoder disk? possible?
