What to do if the red ERR LED is on for Bruker IFS 125M Laboratory Equipment?
If the red ERR LED on the electronic mobile unit lights up, it indicates that strong mechanical shocks may have caused a temporary or permanent optics misalignment, or the HeNe laser might be defective. In this case, contact Bruker service for assistance.
Why is no interferogram observable on my Bruker IFS 125M Laboratory Equipment?
If no interferogram is observable, several issues could be the cause: * No optics connected. * OPUS status light is gray: check the optical bench URL. * Wrong measurement parameters: use the measurement parameters as described in appendix C. * Optical path blocked: check whether any accessory blocks the IR beam. * Detector not or incorrectly installed: check whether the detector is properly inserted into its holder. * No or wrong detector selected: select the correct detector on the OPUS Measure menu. * Wrong peak position saved: determine and save the correct peak position.
Why are all voltage status LEDs off on my Bruker IFS 125M?
If all voltage status LEDs are off, it could be due to several reasons: * The spectrometer is not turned on: Turn the main power switch to the 'ON' position. * The power cord is not connected: Connect the power cord to both the power outlet and the appliance inlet connector. * Voltage is not available: Verify that the proper voltage is supplied at the outlet.
What to do if the green RX LED is on but the yellow TX LED is off on Bruker Laboratory Equipment?
If the green RX LED is on while trying to establish a connection, but the yellow TX LED is off, it could be due to: * A wrong IP address assigned to the spectrometer: Assign the correct IP address to the spectrometer. * TCP/IP settings mismatch between spectrometer and computer/network: Refer to chapter 9.
Why is one voltage status LED off on my Bruker IFS 125M?
If one voltage status LED is off, it could be due to: * An external device shortening the power supply unit: Disconnect all external devices from the CAN bus or MPE port. * Temporary short circuit: Switch off the spectrometer, wait about 30 seconds, and switch it on again. * Defective LED: In this case, there is no spectrometer malfunction, and the spectrometer operates properly. The defective LED has to be replaced.
Why is the SR LED permanently on in my Bruker IFS 125M Laboratory Equipment?
If the SR LED is permanently on, it could be because: * The spectrometer is still in the initialization phase: Wait about 1 minute until the initialization procedure is completed. * The spectrometer control hangs: Reset the spectrometer using the RES button.
What to do if the temperature is out of range for Bruker IFS 125M Laboratory Equipment?
If the temperature is out of range, it means that the ambient temperature is too high. To resolve this, operate the spectrometer only within the ambient temperature range specified by the manufacturer (18 - 35°C).
How to fix buffer overflow in the optics controller of Bruker IFS 125M?
If a buffer overflow occurs in the optics controller, which indicates a severe problem in the data transfer from the DSP of the optics to OPUS, reduce the scanner velocity.
What does 'Scanner initialization mode' mean on Bruker IFS 125M Laboratory Equipment?
If the scanner is in initialization mode, this error message appears when you try to start a measurement while the spectrometer is still initializing. Wait until initialization has been finished.
Why is no signal detected in OPUS with my Bruker IFS 125M Laboratory Equipment?
If no signal is detected in OPUS, it indicates that the wrong OPUS parameters were selected. To fix this, select the correct OPUS parameters.
