Description
IF3 10000000
PSU charge error
The charger did not
have time to fully
charge before another
Fire signal was
received.
•
Reduce the frequency or voltage/energy
of the firing signal.
•
Verify the Laser Head I/O cable connectors
are fully inserted and tightened.
•
Inspect the high voltage/high current
contacts for damage caused by arcing.
Due to firmware priorities, if the Charger/
Simmer overtemperature interlock trips
during flashlamp operation, a PSU charge
error may display on the Remote Box if
the charge cycle is disabled before the
microprocessor is notified. Refer to
IF2 01000000 for details.
If the error persists, please contact Quantel
Customer Service.
The system controller must receive an
“end of charge” feedback signal from the
charger, prior to the Fire order for flashlamp
discharge. If not, a PSU charge error
interlock occurs.
The “end of charge” feedback indicates the
PFN capacitor has charged to the desired
voltage.
IF3 01000000
voltage over setting This indicates a
problem with the
charging system.
CAUTION:
This is a potentially
serious safety issue. Please contact
Quantel Customer Service.
This interlock indicates that the Pulse
Forming Network (PFN) capacitor voltage
actual value exceeds the programmed
voltage by 5% or more.
IF3 00100000
simmer stop
The simmer current
either failed to be
established, or it failed
to stay active.
•
Verify that the connections to the Laser
Head are secure.
•
View the flashlamp shot count. Replace
the flashlamp if necessary.
The flashlamp simmer current is constantly
monitored. If the simmer current fails to
establish or “blows out”, then this interlock
is activated.
NOTE: To clear an interlock message, press the “Cursor
Up” or “Cursor Down” button on the Remote Box.
