9.3 Error Messages
Listed below are the most commonly seen error messages and problems. Follow the
diagnostic recommendations listed. If the problem persists, please contact Olympus
or your local sales and service representative for technical assistance.
“Do Calibration” during Quick Calibration (Q-CAL)
This is not an error message, but a warning. If the target ball has been removed from
the tip, and this message appears, it indicates that the BALL OFF probe signal has
drifted farther than what is typical between Q-CAL calibrations. This may be due to a
large change in temperature, probe orientation, or ambient magnetic field. Be certain
to remove any target ball or magnetic material, orient the probe as it will be used, and
press
[Q-CAL] again. If this message persists, it will be necessary to perform a new
calibration.
“No Probe”
When a probe is connected to the Magna-Mike 8600 and this message appears, a
failure in the identification circuit for the probe occurred. This problem is typically
caused by a connection failure in the probe cable. Verify that the cable is connected to
both the gage and the probe, and that the cable is not damaged. Replace the cable, if a
substitute is available, turn the instrument off, and then turn it back on.
“Host is Off Line…”
The gage is configured to send thickness data through the RS-232 port, but the gage
fails to receive the correct “ready” (DSR) signal from the external Datalogger. Verify
the following:
• External device is powered on.
• External device is set to “serial” or “RS-232” mode and is not malfunctioning.
