E55527001 Magnetic Reed Switch Assembly
Ref E555-270-01 Magnetic Reed Switch for Better Pack 555e Tape Dispensers
Located on the left side frame, the Magnetic Reed Switch works in conjunction with the Magnet in the top cover to signal the key pad to operate.
Quick Service Tip When the machine is turned on you should hear a beep sound. If you hear the beep but none of the length keys work it could be a missing magnet in the top cover OR a bad Magnetic Reed Switch. Check to see if the magnet is embedded in the top cover. If it is next check the Magnetic Reed Switch. Carefully open the key drum cover by removing all 5 screws. DO NOT let the key drum fall over of the information cables from the key pad could break. Hold the cover up when removing the last screw then gently let it down onto the work surface. Remove the 2 wires that connect the Switch to the Control Board. Then use a flat head screwdriver as a temporary jumper and touch the 2 posts on the Control Board. If you hear a click then the Magnetic Reed Switch needs to be replaced You can also press a length key with the screwdriver touching the 2 posts and if the machine works then replace the switch. In older machines (about 2017 and older) you have a 555e-MPSAssy, instead.
