I have GSM1 (OS/2) machine and it does not zero. The Y axis comes to all the way front to hard stop. I replaced the limit switch before the hard stop and can not find any way to test the signal from limit switch in diagnostic. I like to replace the c

Tom, Its not the scale but the switch itself because while zeroing, if you activate front limit switch for Y axis, Beam should travel back to look for home pulse. It looks like switch signal does not reach to the system.It is really hard to trace the

So, I have inherited a couple of "vintage" GSM1 machines, and we've got one powered up, trying to see if it even works, before registering the machine and paying Universal some money. It appears several of the safety interlock switches are triggered

A shot of the screen is attached showing the version information. Where do I find the filters? It looks like the power goes from the switch to the large power distribution box which I presume has the back-up batteries inside. What method is recomme
