I agree that the board doesn't run on 110.  It must get stepped down somewhere.  After the relays?

Here's the specs on the relays looks like they'll take 110.

ChadTower:

Yes, the relays would carry 110, as that would be the path from house wiring to the motor.  But the controller circuit likely isn't working off the 110v.  I'd find where the controller is getting its power and make sure that it isn't totally fried.

If the boards 'upside down' in that pic, the three lead device to the left of the board does indeed look like a hall effect sensor.

Theres also a PIC on board... My guess is it either counts rotations, or looks for lack of rotation to use as a limit.  Theres something in there that requires some brains.

Ed_McCarron:
Oh, and betcha that red critter in the middle is some kind of self contained power supply...

ChadTower:

You mean like a battery?
