its running but we are getting an error number five which is the lower limit switch ( when the chair is at the top and we try to call it down) prob because on one of the on and offs of the motor / seat we bent the last swith the third one along… we straightener it (the one with the little sort of rubber wheel on it) we straightened it but perhaps now quite enough. just got it off and the toggle switch on it is pressed in. so we’ll free it and see. were getting there…. it seems that the arm of the limit switch is a bit bent and just might be activating it at random so it might need a new one of these…… not too sure what to look for by name though…
Small cam is a physical stop used as a final fail safe. fitting this incorrectly will damage terminal limit switches and final limit switch. In addittion if the unit has been set up incorrectly and its travel has been impeded, most likely the power pack fuse has opened. easy error to make. the carriage now requires an engineer to remove for closer inspection.
