How to troubleshoot a Cynosure Apogee Elite laser that does not start?
If your Cynosure Measuring Instruments laser does not start, ensure the power cables are connected and the laser’s main circuit breaker is in the on position. Also, verify that the keyswitch is turned to START and has returned to ON.
What to do if Cynosure Apogee Elite Measuring Instruments shows a 'Low Water' message?
If you see a 'Low Water' message on your Cynosure Measuring Instruments, add distilled water to the fill level. If the fault continues, check for loose electrical connections and the functionality of the level switches.
Why won't my Cynosure Apogee Elite Measuring Instruments laser enter Ready Mode?
If your Cynosure Measuring Instruments laser will not enter Ready Mode, make sure the operator switch is not activated by checking that the finger switch or foot switch is not being pressed. Also, ensure the Ready Key is activated by pressing it.
What to do if my Cynosure Apogee Elite says 'No Fiber'?
If your Cynosure Measuring Instruments displays 'No Fiber,' install a fiber and press any key to continue. Check the fiber interlock switches in the cal port, and replace them if necessary, as the fiber interlock may be open.
Why won't my Cynosure Apogee Elite laser go into Standby Mode?
If your Cynosure Measuring Instruments laser will not go into Standby Mode, allow the laser to run until the WARM UP message disappears. Check for any other fault messages and correct those conditions. Also, make sure the Standby Key is activated by pressing it.
How to fix 'Open Interlock' error on Cynosure Apogee Elite?
If your Cynosure Measuring Instruments displays an 'Open Interlock' message, check whether the external interlock is open. Also, check for a bad electrical connection and replace if necessary.
What does 'Invalid Handpiece' mean on Cynosure Measuring Instruments?
If your Cynosure Measuring Instruments displays 'Invalid Handpiece', the handpiece sensed cannot be used. Install an appropriate handpiece.
What to do if Cynosure Apogee Elite shows 'No Lamp Simmer'?
If lamps are not simmering in Standby Mode on your Cynosure Measuring Instruments, check that both lamps flicker. If not, check the lamps and simmer circuit. If the lamps are simmering, check that the ends of fiber 90 are smooth and shiny and verify fiber 90 is securely connected at DR4 on the Interface PCB and CR1 Simmer PCB.
Why won't my Cynosure Apogee Elite Measuring Instruments laser fire outside of the Cal Port?
If the Ready LED is lit but the Cynosure Measuring Instruments laser will not fire outside of the Cal Port, recalibrate the laser. Ensure the handpiece fiber cable is properly connected and check that the foot switch connector is properly inserted into the foot switch receptacle.
What should I do for a 'Power Supply Warning; Cycle Power' message on Cynosure Measuring Instruments?
If your Cynosure Measuring Instruments displays a 'Power Supply Warning', turn the system off and then on to test if the problem recurs. If the fault continues, replace the HVPS and recalibrate it.
