Printhead Carriage Homing Sensor for L1800, R1390 - Customizable ON/OFF Signals

Enhance your printer automation with the L1800, R1390 Printhead Carriage Homing Sensor. This device functions as a switch to detect whether the printhead carriage is parked in the home position (on the capping station), providing seamless control over auxiliary printer functions like vacuum platforms. The sensor functions as a mechanical switch, cutting power to connected devices when the printhead is parked and activating them when printing begins.

Wiring and Connectors

1. Black Wire: Connected to the common terminal of the switch. This wire is fixed and must not be removed or modified.
2. Red Wire: By default, connected to the normally OFF connector.
   • When the printhead is parked, the red wire is OFF
   • When the printhead leaves the parked position to begin printing, the red wire turns ON.
3. Open Connector: A reserved connector provides additional customization options. Customers can use it to add another wire for driving multiple devices or setting up custom configurations.

Customizable Options
If you require the sensor to signal ON when parked, the reserved connector allows you to move the red wire for a quick and easy modification.
For controlling multiple devices with differing requirements (e.g., some ON and others OFF when parked), you can utilize the open connector to add additional wiring for versatile functionality.

Package Includes
1x Homing Sensor (default configuration: OFF when parked)
2x Shrink Tubes for easy wire installation
This sensor is an excellent addition to printers equipped with vacuum platforms and other auxiliary systems. Its intuitive, flexible, and customizable design makes it an ideal choice for enhancing your printing setup.
