Troubleshooting, Maintenance,
and Repair
User Maintenance
The laserBIRD system requires very little maintenance to obtain consistent and reliable
performance. User efforts to maintain good performance should include the following:
1.
Periodically check the Sensor cables for nicks and cuts in the insulation.
2.
Keep the optical surfaces of the laserBIRD clean. Carefully wipe off dirt or
contaminants with a clean, non-abrasive cloth.
3.
Inspect both the Sensor connector and receptacle (on the Scanner) for bent or
damaged pins.
4.
Inspect power supply and serial port connections. Tighten as necessary to maintain
positive contact.
Software Updates
As new features or updates become available for the laserBIRD system, you may find it necessary
to update the firmware stored in the Scanner's memory. The laserBIRD Utility included on your
CD-ROM allows you to do this without opening the Scanner, or returning it to Ascension.
Instructions for this procedure are included with updates.
