3. When the actuator [B] of the ascending feeler actuates Sensor , this switches
the sensor OFF and switches the tray lift motor ON.
4. The tray lift motor lowers the tray until the feeler descends far enough to raise
the actuator out of the gap of Sensor .
5. When the actuator leaves the gap of Sensor , this switches Sensor
switches the motor OFF, and stops the tray.
The sequence repeats until the end of the job or until the tray becomes full.
