Troubleshooting 

Status Light Codes 

Status Error Light 

Error Condition 

Correction 

Dark/OFF 

Scanner program not running. 

Check power connection and red power 
light. If power light is off, check 
connections and power supply. If power 
light is on then unplug scanner, wait five 
seconds, plug scanner in and test again.  

Solid Blue Light 

Scanner program is starting 

Wait for program to start. 

Solid White Light 

Scanner system is warming up 

Wait for scanner to reach operating 
temperature. 

Solid Green Light 

Scanner is ready to measure 

None 

Solid Yellow Light 

Scanner detects motion and 
turns on the laser pointer 

None 

Solid Red Light 

An internal error has occurred 

Unplug scanner, wait five seconds, plug 
scanner in and test again. Contact support 
if the issue is not resolved. 

Blinking Blue Light 

Previous object present 

Remove the object that was last measured 
from the scale. 

Blinking Green Light 

Scanner is measuring the object 

None 

Blinking Red Light 

1 blink /sec 

Scanner could not measure the 
object. Measurement is 0,0,0. 

Check the edge error lights (see below) 
and move object so all edges are visible. 
Object is rotated more than 15° from 
parallel with scanner edges. Object is too 
big in length, width, or height. Object 
material is reflective or featureless. 

Blinking Red Light 

2 blink /sec

 

A hardware error has occurred 

Unplug scanner, wait five seconds, plug 
scanner in and test again. Contact support 
if the issue is not resolved. 

 

Edge Error Lights 

There are four orange LEDs lights arranged around the large status LED light on the bottom scanning 
surface. If any of the edge error lights are illuminated after a measurement, the scanner was unable to 
resolve the edge of the object associated with the light. For example, if the left edge error light is 
illuminated, the scanner could not see the left edge of the object. Reposition the object so that the edge 
associated with the blinking light is closer to the center of the scale then measure again. 

If repositioning the object causes the opposite edge light to light up, the object is too big for the scanner 
to measure.
