Where troubles, such as "missing floors on short runs" or "running slow", are caused by
erratic selector brush motor operation, the attached circuit modification (sketch no. 1) will
give much improved operation.

It will, of course, be necessary to readjust the brush motor speed to suit the installation. A
good starting point is 0.7 sec per inch of travel.

Future controllers manufactured will have this circuit as standard.

Material required is:-

1 off SO6840A1 Assembly rectifier panel

2 off 180AB1 Holder, fuse
2 off 375P25 Fuse
2 off 339BY2 Clip
2 off 65BD2 Bolt and hardware
20 metres SO3 Wire 1/0.036"

On controllers with no provision for extra fuses, holes similar to the one shown below can
be made in the rectifier panel.

On some controllers it may be necessary to increase "BM" resistance to obtain satisfactory
"HSL" adjustment.

Cost should be allotted as follows:-

Under construction Contract number per ETR
