ROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
SUGGESTED RESOLUTION
Mechanical / Environmental
The sensor is warm.
• It is normal for a sensor to be warm when powered on.
Connection
When connecting with a web
browser, the sensor is not found
(page does not load).
• Verify the sensor power is on. This will be indicated by an illuminated POWER LED.
• Verify the Power & Ethernet cordset is connected to the Power/LAN connector and the Ethernet RJ45 plug is connected to the Ethernet switch.
• Verify that the client computer’s network settings are properly configured.
See
Getting Started > Network Setup
in the Gocator user manual or your computer’s documentation on configuring a network adapter.
• Download 14405-x.x.x.x_SOFTWARE_GO_Tools.zip from the downloads area of LMI’s website at www.lmi3D.com.
Unzip and run the Sensor Discovery Tool [Discovery>kDiscovery.exe] to verify that the sensor has the correct network settings.
When attempting to log in, the
password is not accepted.
• Download 14405-x.x.x.x_SOFTWARE_GO_Tools.zip from from the downloads area of LMI’s website at www.lmi3D.com.
Unzip and run the Sensor Discovery Tool [Discovery>kDiscovery.exe] to find the sensor on the network and click Factory Restore.
WARNING: Performing a factory restore resets your configuration settings to their original values. These settings can be recovered from backup files if you
have previously saved them.
Laser Profiling
When the Play button is pressed,
the sensor does not emit laser light.
• Ensure that the decal covering the laser emitter window, normally affixed to new sensors, has been removed.
• Verify that the LASER LED on the Gocator is illuminated. If not, the laser safety input signal is off.
To determine the correct solution for your application, see
Specifications > Gocator Power/LAN Connector > Laser Safety Input
in the user manual.
• The exposure setting may be too low. For more information, see
Gocator Web Interface > Scan Setup and Alignment > Sensor > Exposure
in the user manual.
The sensor emits laser light, but the
Range Indicator does not illuminate
and/or points are not displayed in
the data viewer.
• Verify that the measurement target is within the sensor’s field of view and measurement range.
The RANGE LED on the Gocator will illuminate when the target is in range.
• Check that the exposure time is set to a reasonable level.
For more information, see
Gocator Web Interface > Scan Setup and Alignment > Sensor > Exposure
in the user manual.
The sensor CPU level is near 100%.
• Review the active measurements and remove any that are unnecessary.
• Consider reducing the trigger speed.
• Consider reducing the laser profiling resolution.
