18
Code Description
Remediation
E17
Too much ambient light (sun)
Reduce ambient light at target and minimize
shiny surfaces
E18
DX mode: measured distance greater
than specified target range
Check measurement path for obstacles
E19
DX mode: target speed > 10 m/s
Reduce relative motion speed of target
E23
Temperature below 14°F (-10 °C)
Increase ambient temperature to 14°F (-10°C)
E24
Temperature below 140°F (60 °C)
Reduce ambient temperature to 140°F (60°C)
E31
Faulty memory hardware, EEPROM
error
Reset parameters. If it persists, contact
technical support
E51
High ambient light or hardware error
Reduce ambient light. If it persists, contact
technical support
E52
Faulty laser diode
Contact technical support
E53
EEPROM parameter not set (ex:
division by zero)
Verify the Scale Factor (SF) is not zero.
Contact technical support
E54
Hardware error (PLL)
Contact technical support
E55
Hardware error
Contact technical support
E61
Invalid serial command
Verify command set
E62
Hardware error or Parity error in
serial communication settings
Verify Parity = NONE in serial interface
E63 SIO
Overflow
Check time of emitted signals in application
software. Integrate delay on transmission if
necessary
E64
Framing - error SIO
Check format of serial interface: 8 data bits, 1
stop bit, NO Parity (8N1)
5.4.
Laser ON and Laser OFF (LO, LF)
5.4.1.
Laser ON (LO)
This command turns the laser beam on. This function can be useful for aiming the laser at a
target. The sensor does not measure in this mode.
5.4.2.
Laser OFF (LF)
This command turns the laser beam off. The sensor does not measure in this mode.
5.5.
Displaying, Configuring and Resetting Parameters (PA, PR, AS, TP)
As the AR1000 sensor is configured for your needs, it may be helpful to view the settings that are
saved in the sensors EEPROM. The PA allows users to view those settings in an online report
through the serial communications interface. The PR command resets all settings to factory
defaults.
5.5.1.
Displaying current settings (PA)
The PA command PA<Enter> will display the current settings. An example is shown below:
average value[SA].................1
display format[SD]................d
measure time[ST]..................0
scale factor[SF]..................1
error mode[SE]....................1
