Hi Group, my Y is moving towards me rather than away - I must have touched something I think?  Any help to get it back to normal please !

Thanks TPS.  There is no external power supply - the person who made it had everything in the box. No manuals.

So I suppose I need to open the box and  check the power supply to the sensor?

Hi TPS, thankyou again. It seems that he wiring goes straight into the plug - I put a voltmeter and the voltages are shown.  the + was connected to the + of the voltmeter. it looks like all inputs go to Port 1?   Is -2.67V correct - I found that image online and it says its 5V input, but it is +.

The issue is, I dont think its a 4 wire sensor, uless there is resistors hooked up inbetween the sensor and the plug?

Thanks TPS,
Anthony

Thanks again TPS !

Ok - so the Z moves up now.  I dont think my limits switches are switched on, as none of them work.  How do I switch them on?

In case they are faulty, I have attached a picture - do you know what this is?

Many thanks
Anthony

Thanks TPS.  !!!

Ok, so if I move my Z all the way up, there is no change in the diagnostic screen
Yes, as the Z moves up, the numbers increase positive
In diagnostic screen, if I press z (picture yellow circle) it moves down

Thanks TPS
