YES:

Is the Device Status indicator ON?

NO:

1. Check if there's a power in the socket
2. Check the main power fuse (find more 
details in the Model Specific Information 
Manual)

Is the Main Power Switch light ON?

OFF

Please check the 
following:

1. The aperture 
masking plate is open.

2. The main Safety Key 
is in the slot and in ON 
position.

3. The colour 
adjustment pots are 
turned all the way to 
the right.

4. The system is not 
overheated. Please 
make sure there is 
sufficient airflow 
around the system and 
the ambient 
temperature is within a 
range of 5-35 degrees 
Celsius.

5. Your laser control 
system is set up 
correctly. Make sure 
that there is a control 
signal present.

YES

Are you using the Interlock 
Connector or E-STOP 
remote button?

Interlock Connector

The system 
indicates there is a 
problem with the 
safety interlock:

1. Check that the 
Interlock Connector 
is inserted properly.

E-STOP remote

The system indicates there 
is a problem with the safety 
interlock:

1. Check that the E-STOP 
Remote cable is inserted 
properly at both ends and 
that the safety key is 
inserted and turned to ON 
position.

2. Check that the red E-
STOP Remote is in ON 
position - if not, pull it 
upwards.

3. Press the RESTART 
button on the E-STOP 

NO

Is the ScanFail indicator 
ON, OFF or it flashes?

ON or FLASHES 

randomly

This indicates that the 
ScanFail is active and 
disables the laser 
output:

1. check that the effect 
you are running can 
work in ScanFail safety 
mode the laser is 
switched to.
This could be a case of 
you trying to output a 
single beam or a very 
small small picture from 
the laser system whilst 
the ScanFail safety is in 
Scanner mode.

FLASHES periodically

This indicates the initial 
60 second period of the 
laser Emission Delay 
safety feature:

1. Wait for about one 
and half minutes and 
the system should start 
working.

Is the Device Status indicator ON?
