Cause
There is no power to the readhead
The signal strength is < 50%
System run-out is not within specification
Signal size is < 70%
The system has failed to calibrate the
incremental signals due to the signal
strength being < 70%
Incorrect termination (analogue variant only)
The readhead is not seeing a
reference mark
Possible solutions
u Ensure 5 V supplied at the readhead
u For cable variants check correct wiring of connector
u If using the analogue variant of QUANTiC with the ADTi ensure appropriate adaptor cables are connected
u Check the readhead optical window and scale are clean and free from contamination
u Restore factory defaults (page 14) and check alignment of the readhead. In particular:
• Rideheight
• Yaw
• Offset
u Ensure the correct scale and readhead combination
u Use a DTi gauge and check the run-out is within specifications
u Restore factory defaults (page 14)
u Realign readhead to obtain a Green flashing LED at the mid-point of the run-out
u Recalibrate the system (page 13)
u Realign readhead to obtain a green flashing LED
u Exit CAL mode and restore factory defaults
u (page 12)
Check readhead set-up and alignment
u Check output signal termination (page 19)
u When using with ADTi-100 in stand- alone mode ensure Termination tool is connected,
Renishaw part number A-6195-2132
u Exit CAL mode and restore factory defaults
