– The "Laser On" LED does
not light up
– The scan line does not
appear
•
Sensor not connected or
connected to incorrect
switching input
•
If sensor supplied by the CLV:
Sensor not connected to
frame potential
•
Incorrect reading pulse sour-
ce parameterized on the CLV
•
Photoelectric switch not
aligned to the reflector
(photoelectric proximity
switch or inductive sensor not
dampened)
•
Connect sensor to "Sensor
