siddav Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 We are trying to put our Noristu 470BW film machine back in service. On power up we get a "AL4 - Drive motor has stopped" error message and then it follows with film sensor errors. The drive is working perfectly fine. i checked all the fuses & plugs and cleaned all the sensors. Any ideas? Sid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodak_service Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Please, check up optical sensor of rotation in loading box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddav Posted May 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I cleaned all sensors. i even swapped the motion sensor with a cut sensor. Still same message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodak_service Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Please check the motion sensor in mode "Input check". Probably, the reason in a cable or PCB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddav Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I did do a input check and you get a steady beep. Most other checks of set box like cutter and pressure do not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 AL stands for Auto Loader. Check if yourmachines is set to Auto Loader in Option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Check all the connections from the loading section down into the control box, from memory you will have a ribbon cable coming out of the loading box down to the CPU. It often gets chemical run don it to the plug and corrodes the contacts, it all plugs into a small PCB just inside the front cover, behind the lock. Also check all the PCBs have any green LED's lit, they indicate the various power supply's eg 12V 5V etc. PS the cutter will only work in output check with the drive on and the lid down to stop you cutting your fingers off.

siddav Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I appreciate your help but AL4 is a message on a 400 series that indicates drive motor has stopped. There never was a autoloader option on the 400 series, just the V series machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
