We have a Tecalemit DE8232 Brake rollers which will only run if the control button is kept pressed. The fault started out as intermitent but is now there all the time. Has anyone experienced this before and any hints on how to fix it.

We have a tecalemit roller with a similar problem.

The n/s roller will only work if button is held, the o/s roller is OK. I figure it must be a problem with the wheel speed sensor. I keep meaning to get the scope out and check the signal, but never get round to it.
Occasionally both rollers stop working, this is always due to the wire to the hand controller breaking, usually within 6 inches of the remote. I just shorten the wire and re solder it to the switches. In fact done this so many times that last year had to replace the wire as it was getting a little short.

Tecalamit will not sell any spares to me directly, they will give me the part numbers, but I have to order parts from Andrew Pages.

The Tecalemit engineer came out today and said I needed a new right hand sensor which he fitted then dropped his van into the rollers and found still had the same fault ( rollers only run when the hand set button is kept pressed in ) He then put the old sensor back on and had a look in the back of the tower and said this model is meant to only run with the button kept pressed but I told him it never used to be like this, but he insisted this is the way this model is meant to be. Now I dont know what to believe.
