4. Go to
Menu > Diagnostics > Gate
. This screen displays the current status of the LED beams.
Move the gate to the center of the glass platform and clear the platform of all objects. If the
LED beam bars show yellow, continue on to the next step.
5. Go to
Menu < Diagnostics > Gate (16/16)
. From this screen, you can run a masking test to mask
LEDs that may be malfunctioning. You should only run this test if 3 or less of the LEDs are
not working.
Do not
run the masking test if a large amount of yellow is displayed on the LED
beam bars. If too many LEDs are masked, the CubiScan 125 will not be able to measure
objects. To run the masking test, start with the gate in the home position (right side) and
slowly move it all the way to the left, and back into the home position. Tap
[Mask]
. Save your
changes and reboot the CubiScan 125.
6. If, after completing the above steps, you are still receiving incorrect height measurements,
please contact Quantronix Technical Assistance at +1 801-451-7000.
Item Exceeds Boundary
Complete the following steps if you are receiving the item exceeds boundary error message.
1. Yellow specks or lines often occur when there is dust or debris on the glass platform. Remove
the glass platform and clean both sides with a clean, damp cloth. If your glass is scratched it
may interfere with measurements. Discard damaged glass and use the replacement glass
platform that was shipped with the CubiScan 125. Contact Quantronix Technical Assistance
at +1 801-451-7000 if you need to order a replacement glass platform.
2. Clean all four gate filters with a clean, damp (if needed), microfiber cloth. Use water to
dampen the cloth;
do not clean the gate filters with a solvent as this could cause
damage
.
3. Although rare, does your facility have any type of unusual lighting? If so, try moving the
CubiScan 125 to a different location with different lighting.
4. Are there invalid yellow shapes in your measurement results? If so, refer to
Shapes in Measurement Results” on page 6.
5. Does the object you are measuring exceed or not meet the measurement range? The
measurement range for the CubiScan 125 gate is 0.10 in (0.2 cm) to 18.00 x 18.00 x 12.00 in
(45.0 x 45.0 x 30.0 cm).
6. Is the item you are measuring placed roughly in the center of the glass platform? The edges of
the metal frame can interfere with the measuring process when objects are placed too close to
the frame.
7. Go to
Menu > Diagnostics > Gate
. On the second and fourth gate diagnostic screens, the
threshold and sensitivity values are listed for the width and height. The threshold values
should be between 550 and 750. The sensitivity values should be 100. If your values are
incorrect, go to the fifteenth gate diagnostics screen. From this screen you can run an
automatic threshold setting test for the LED beams. When this test is run the CubiScan 125
finds the top and bottom limits and automatically picks the best values. Make sure you move
