One Shot or Phase 
Mode using the Input 
1 (External Trigger) or 
Input 2:
the ”TRIGGER” LED is 
not blinking while the 
External Trigger is 
switching.
Check if you are referring to the 17-pin connector or to the CBX 
spring clamp connectors.
Is the sensor connected to Input 1 or Input 2?
Is power supplied to the photo sensor?
For NPN configuration, is power supplied to one of the two I1 or 
I2 signals (A or B)?
For PNP configuration, is one of the two I1 or I2 signals 
grounded (A or B)?
Are the photo sensor LEDS (if any) working correctly?
Is the sensor/reflector system aligned (if present)?
On the Reading Phase step check the Input 1 or Input 2 
Debouncing Time 
parameter setting.
On the Reading Phase step check the settings for 
Acquisition 
Trigger, Reading Phase-ON, 
and
 Reading Phase-OFF
 parame-
ters.
One Shot or Phase 
Mode using serial 
trigger source:
the ”TRIGGER” LED is 
not blinking.
On the Reading Phase step check the settings for 
Acquisition 
Trigger, Reading Phase-ON, 
and
 Reading Phase-OFF
 parame-
ters.
Are the COM port parameters (
Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits, Stop 
Bits
) correctly assigned?
On the Reading Phase step check the settings of 
Acquisition 
Trigger String, Reading Phase-ON String, 
and
 Reading Phase-
OFF String
 parameters.
Is the serial trigger source correctly connected?
Phase Mode:
the ”TRIGGER" LED is 
correctly blinking but 
no image is displayed 
in the DL.CODE win

dow.
Is the Phase frequency lower than the maximum frame rate?
Continuous Mode:
the ”TRIGGER” LED is 
not blinking.
Verify the correct software configuration settings.
Any Operating Mode:
the ”TRIGGER” LED is 
correctly blinking but 
no result is transmit

the end of the reading 
phase collection.
Check the Code Collection parameters on the Reading Phase 
step and the Data Formatting parameters on the Data Format

ting step.
Image not clear: verify the Focus procedure
Image focused but not 
decoded:
verify the Calibrate Image Density procedure.
