Author Topic: Simplex PR1060 Turret motor not stopping Jeremy M Smith Film Handler Posts: 48 From: Taupo New Zealand Registered: Aug 2008 posted 08-08-2008 04:30 AM                     Hi Just wandering if anyone know but I just replaced a turret control board for a tu2020 turret and I can't seen to get the turret motor to stop has anyone had this problem before. I think there may also be a problem with the flag sensor. Kind Regards Jeremy M.

Remove the locking pin and clean it and the sidewalls of the hole the pin travels in. It's probably the flag sensors if you replaced the board.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy M Smith Film Handler Posts: 48 From: Taupo New Zealand Registered: Aug 2008 posted 08-08-2008 06:05 PM                     Thanks most of the the solinode will work fine other times it will just spin and spin and spin thanks for your reply's I have a new sensor on the way.  |  IP: Logged
