Diagnostic Function

Transmitter and receiver are equipped with extensive self-diagnostic functions. An „F" is indicated
in the 7-segment display for a discrepant unit in the event of a component failure. This enables the
quick on-site identification of defective components (refer to Chapter 6.2). A PC can be connected
to the serial RS-485 interface for visualizing the light axes during alignment or for locating problems
in the workshop. An adapter for converting from RS-485 to RS-232 is available as an optional
accessory. The adapter is connected to the receiver power cable by means of a cable set suited to
the connector type. The serial interface of the PC must permit a transmission rate up to 57.6 kBaud.
The diagnostics software required for visualization can be run on Windows 3.1 and higher. Software,
RS-485/RS-232 interface converter and diagnostics cable set are available as accessories.
