The IPG YLR Series touchscreen may be unresponsive, the start button may not respond, and the indicator light may not illuminate due to an Optical Interlock (Bit 3300) error. This occurs if the delivery fiber cable is mechanically damaged or the output connector is not properly plugged into an appropriate optical head. The internal main power supply is automatically switched off in this case.

To resolve this issue:
1. Send a reset error command (“RERR”).
2. If the message does not disappear, contact an IPG Photonics representative for assistance.
