Maintenance

Balancing the Sensor 

Optics

If the 

Service

 indicator reappears after a PACER cycle (even after 

performing the mirror cleaning procedure above) check the sensor 
balance adjustment. Improper adjustment of the optical balance is the 
most common cause of instrument malfunction. In addition, new 
systems may require an optical balance adjustment after one or two 
months of operation.

IMPORTANT:

Always clean the mirror as described above before 
performing an optical balance.

Set the sensor mode to HEAT, wait one minute, then observe the 
balance indicator. If only the lowest bar is illuminated, or the lower 1/
2 inch of the status bar, the sensor is properly balanced. If not, balance 
the sensor according the procedure below. The location of the balance 
adjustment screw for various sensors is shown in Figure 7-1 below.
