I had a bizarre couple calls the other day. This is the first:
It's a bizhub 654e. Sounds simple, right? So I leave the tray two feed unit connected, unscrew it, an let it hang to the side. The meter tells me that my supply voltage to the doorswitch is 1.2vdc, and changes state from 0 to 1.07vdc ... what? Isn't that supposed to be 5.0vdc, changing state from 0 to 4.5vdc?
All the other sensors in the tray #2 feed section read the same ... very odd. Once I get the back cover off, and the power plugged back in, it's back to 5.1vdc, and changing state like it should. It sounds like time to dig out the power quality analyzer.
We'll have a nice 48 hour sample by Monday, but the 5 minute snapshot says it all: Every time the printer starts up, the ground to neutral spikes to 2.0vac then settles back down to 0.9vac. The machine also locks up in low power mode, and won't wake up without powering off/on.
What do you suppose are the chances they'll do anything about the power (other than complaining, that is)?
