EXT_ENABLE_A and/or
Steady
EXT_ENABLE_B contact are
ORANGE
LOW level or disconnected
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Power supply cable disconnected
SWITCH of power supply set to OFF
FUSES damaged
Incorrect integration
F-Theta scan lens is dirty
Incorrect focus distance
Incorrect laser parameters
Incorrect laser marker state
F-Theta lens protection not removed
The optical path is obstructed
STOP_MARKING signal is active
START_MARKING signal incorrect timing
Lighter™ is not set in AUTO MODE /
WORK MODE
ACTION
Restore the laser marker (see "Recover the
laser marker" on page 106)
Check X1.12 (EXT_KEY) input signal on the
Command Box connector is set to HIGH
level (see "X1 - Command Box (Laser Con-
trol)" on page 25)
Check X1.8 (EXT_ENABLE_A) and X1.2
(EXT_ENABLE_B) input signals on the X1 -
Command Box connector are set to HIGH
level (see "X1 - Command Box (Laser Con-
trol)" on page 25)
ACTION
Check the POWER SUPPLY CABLE connec-
tion to the power grid
Check that the POWER SUPPLY switch is
set to ON
Check that FUSES of power supply are not
damaged
Check that the X1 - Command Box control
signals are compatible with the external
devices used for integration
Clean the F-Theta scan lens. See "F-Theta
scan lens cleaning procedure" on page 67
Check that the material to be marked is
placed at the right working distance. See
"Marking Area Specification" on page 19
Check that the laser parameters set in the
layout are appropriate for the material to
be marked. Contact Datalogic Technical
Support
Check the laser marker state is set to
READY
Check that the F-Theta scan lens protec-
tion has been removed
Check that the optical path is free
Check that the X1.13 (STOP_MARKING)
signal on the Command Box connector is
not set to HIGH level
- Check the X1.11 (START_MARKING) sig-
nal on the X1 - Command Box connector
(see "X1 - Command Box (Laser Control)"
on page 25). HIGH level pulsed signal start
the marking process (refers to Lighter™
user's manual "Setting I/O parameters"
paragraph to set the signal properties)
- Use Lighter™ System Test to check
external X1.11 (START_MARKING) and
X.13 (STOP_MARKING) signals
Check that Laser Engine is set in AUTO
MODE or that Laser Editor is set in WORK
MODE
