Operating Instructions
8 008 224/I982/08-00
CLV 41x Bar Code Scanner
12. 1 Self-monitoring function
The CLV is equipped with the following monitoring functions:
•
After it is switched on, the device always performs a self-test before it is initialized
in order to check the important hardware components.
•
During operation, the CLV constantly monitors the function of its laser diode and
the speed of its polygon mirror wheel. A watchdog circuit also responds to any
malfunctions in the device.
•
If the CLV detects a malfunction during the self-test or operation, it outputs the
error status ST=3 if this has been enabled for transfer to the host in the separator
of the output string (default setting: no).
12. 2 Error messages
The CLV does not output any error messages apart from the error status ST.
12. 3 Causes of error and troubleshooting
The following tools and resources are required to perform the troubleshooting
measures described in
Table 20
:
•
these Operating Instructions
•
set of tools
•
a measuring tape
•
a multimeter for measuring voltage and current values
•
a PC with the CLV Setup software
•
an RS 232 data connection cable, e.g. no. 2 020 319 from SICK
We recommend that you perform the troubleshooting measures in the following order.
12. Troubleshooting
Malfunction
1.
The CLV is not
ready.
- The Dev. Rdy. LED
is not lit
- The Result 1 switching
output (default: Dev. Rdy)
is disabled
2a. Reading mode:
(Dev. Rdy. LED lit)
Pulse: reflector polling
The CLV cannot be
clocked.
- The Laser On LED flickers
but is not lit constantly.
- Red-light scanner: the
scan line is very faint
Possible cause
1. The operating voltage (4.5 ...30V
DC) is not connected
2. The CLV is not in Reading mode
3. The CLV has detected a
malfunction during the self-test
1. Incorrect reading pulse source set
in parameters
2. Reading distance incorrect
3. Polling reflector incorrect
4. Incorrect pulse sequence
(reflector is not covered to
start the reading interval)
Check
1a.Check power supply.
1b.Mechanical noise?
2. Return to Reading mode
3a. Switch the device off and on
again. Does the LED now
light up after approx. 10 s?
3b. Has the CLV sent the status
ST=3 in the data output
string (prerequisite: ST is
enabled for output in the
separator)?
1. Are the device parameter
settings for the reading pulse
correct?
2. Is the reading distance within
the defined reading field?
3. Is the polling reflector suitable
for the reading distance?
4. Is the reflector polling
sequence correct? (read: 1.
cover reflector, 2. read bar
code, 3. uncover reflector)
Remedy
1a.Check the wiring!
(see
Section 8.1
)
Measure the voltage value
1b.Listen to the housing

3. Choose correct reflector
(see
Section 9.2
)
4. Adjust sequence, see also
