You can actually select many places for the switches, depending on where you think your zero will be. I will take pictures of where we positioned our switches. We set the positions so the zero is at the bottom left corner of the machine.
Additional Information:
I will take pictures tomorrow.
Additional Information:
Thank you. Just want to finish before the holiday.
Additional Information:
Not a problem at all and my apologies for not having that information. I have been meaning to put up a video on the limit switch connection as it is somewhat difficult to explain the process in words and diagrams.
Additional Information:
Any update?
Additional Information:
I plan on driving to the office later today and take pictures.
Additional Information:
Thank you. I've just done almost everything else. Just waiting for the grade 3 grease in the mail. Also, where do you suggest connecting the cable carriers? I ran everything through the top but the carrier is getting kind of full. Because of that, it is pushing the belt out when the gantry moves.
Additional Information:
I will take pictures of those connections as well.
Additional Information:
Much appreciated.
Additional Information:
It’s my pleasure.
Additional Information:
I’m almost to the office. I’ve been shuttling my kids around today. Sorry for the wait.
Additional Information:
I’m adding the images to the end of the VLXL instructions.
Additional Information:
The limit switch connections use the NO (Normally Open) terminals. That means that the switch, when not engaged, is normally open (no connection between the com and the NO terminal). When the switch is engaged, then the connection is closed and the NO and COM terminal become connected, making a circuit.
Additional Information:
Did you bend the arm on the x switch? Or can you mount it flush with enough give to trigger? Same on both sides?
Additional Information:
It does look like it is bent in the picture. No, you do not need to bend the arm of the rotary switch.
Additional Information:
We only have the rotary switch on one side.

How do I wire the limit switches on the VLXL? Also, where do I place them? You included 2 rotary and two other limit switches.
