Troubleshooting the Arm
This section provides basic troubleshooting steps to help you find and resolve
possible problems that may occur with the arm. It also describes how alerts are
generated and indicated to identify possible problems.
LUKE Arm System Alerts
The arm system generates alerts to indicate possible problems. Many of these alerts
are indicated by LEDs. The LED may blink or turn a certain color to indicate the
alert. The arm system may also sound a tone to indicate an alert.
All alerts are low priority alarms and technical alarms.
Alerts may be generated when:
•
A battery is discharged
•
Hardware is damaged
Alerts are generated when:
•
Communication with an IMU is lost
•
You attempt to charge an IMU when the prosthesis is in operation
To learn more about these alerts see
User Controls and Wrist Display
Chapter 6, “Charging the Batteries”
If at any time you feel the arm is not in proper working order (e.g., slow to
move, hard to control, making odd sounds, etc.) turn the battery power
OFF
and contact Technical Support at once. See
