(2) Sensor input circuit
The sensor signals used by the LCC are connected directly to the input port of the IC6. LPFD and LCD are provided with a static electricity noise
protective diode which protects against static electricity from the paper transport section. The other sensors have the same circuit configuration as the
LPED.

(3) Upper limit switch
A limit switch is provided to protect the LCC If it fails to operate normally. If the tray exceeds the upper limit sensor (LUD) position, the switch is turned
off to shut off the power of the lift motor.

The solenoids and clutches are driven by a Darlington transistor array M63823P with 7-circuit clamp diode. LPFS is turned on wh en the CPU’s port
output is at H. LPFC has the same circuit.

(5) Lift motor drive circuit
The tray height is adjusted according to the size of the paper mounted on the paper feed tray. The lift motor controls the rotational direction
(CW/CCW) with the control signals (LLMU, LLMD) from the CPU. The circuit forms a bridge circuit with STA457C to allow the CW/CCW control.
A fuse (F1) is provided to protect the motor against shorting or overload.

Suppose that both LLMD and LLMU become H level at the above circuit. If LLMU becomes H first, t he STA457C pin 3 become H, IC04 pin 13
through IC07 pin 6 become H due to diode D20. Even if LLMU is at H and LLMD at H on the port, STA457C pin 1 is at L and pin 6 at H, thus no
conduction of STA457C is achieved.

The motor drive circuit is composed of IC4 motor ICs (Q5 – 8 (transistor), IC2 and IC5). When the PWM signal output from the CPU made at H level,
the transistor inside the IC5 turns on to supply current to the motor to start the motor. As the motor is started, hole signals (Hu, Hv, Hw) in side the
motor switch the input of IC4, while the output switches the transistor inside IC5. The motor thus starts rotating under non-control state.
When the motor rotates, the speed si gnal (RE) is output from the motor. The signal is taken into the CPU. If the motor speed is slow, the RWM signal
On duty is increased to increase the speed; if the motor speed is high, the PWM signal On duty is decreased to maintain the required speed.
As the current flowing to the mot or becomes large, the input voltage at the minus side of the IC7 rises. If the voltage exceeds the plus-side input
voltage, output voltage at IC7 becomes at L level, leading in the PWM signal to t urn off the transistor of Q5 so t hat the current to the motor is cut of f.
(setting: 3A).

(7) 24V power detection line
The line monitors 24V power. If the 24V power fed from the copier is not 24V, the level becomes L and the 24V power error is sent to the copier.
