Trendsetter - FCO E312

Field Change Order #E312

Applies to	Trendsetter NEWS/3230/3244 All options	Priority =Next Visit Reason = Reliability Release date = 01 Sept 2001

Machines affected	All Trendsetters built from 1997 to 01 Sept 2001
Component	Load ramp sensor
Problem	The load ramp sensor (#36-3141) currently used on Trendsetters has an incorrect focal length.
Solution(s)	Replace with sensor with correct focal length.
Parts needed	Replacement sensors #36-3210
Tools needed	n/a
Procedure	Check this photo to see if replacement is necessary. The part number on the microswitch is key to identifying old and new. Machines do NOT require the new optical sensor if they have either of the following sensors: optical sensor mounted on a PC Board (found in very early Trendsetters) ALEPH sensor - best identified by the absence of a resin seal on one side of the sensor The sensors that DO require replacing are the SHARP optical sensors. They look identical to the ALEPH except for the presence of a resin seal on the edge nearest the connector. Remove this sensor and replace with 36-3210 on next visit. NOTE: other sensors using the same part, such as the load table and unload pan on the Trendsetter Autoloader, can wait until failure for replacement.
