Delivery Sensor Verification Diagnostic
VendnetUSA National 421
Delivery Sensor Verification Diagnostic
This process verifies the optical sensor path for any physical obstructions, proper alignment, or damage to the connecting wiring before assuming the sensor itself is faulty.
- Sensor failure recurs within one week of cleaning: Escalate to technician for sensor replacement and environmental review.
- Multiple unrelated sensor or motor errors appearing simultaneously: Escalate immediately; possible controller or power supply issue.
- If the sensor failure recurs shortly after cleaning, or if multiple unrelated errors appear, escalate to a qualified technician for a full system review.
