    GR3750 elevator reversed

    The sensing of the lower limit sensor has changed. The elevator paper feed tray now lowers when I close the light path of the the lower limit sensor. Once opened, the tray stops moving.
    I have tried several sensors with the same result. I also changed the MOTOR PCB in vain. What is the probable cause of this?
    Actually, I have even done a sensor/SW test and the result is the reverse. When the sensor is open, It sounds at 0.1second interval and when I close the sensor, It sounds at 0.5s interval.

    Has there been anything that has recently disturbed the local power utility there, like energetic storms or nearby construction? If so, there could have been a power surge that put bad data in the machine's working memory. During the time the GR line wasn't obsolete, I observed power surges causing those machines to display all manner of undesirable operation.
    If that's the case, try the memory resets.
    Could also be the main board, it has a hand in every machine operation. If the resets don't work, the main board would be the most likely suspect.

      Thanks for your reply.
      Actually, I realised the cause: The technician I had called to help me service the machine had put a new sensor which was not similar to the original. The sensors we kept on changing were all the same. I removed one original sensor from the pressure disk used it as the lower limit sensor for testing purposes and the elevator worked normally. I will now look for the original sensor to replace.
