Figure: Error messages that may be displayed if a short circuit occurs in the touch probe during start-
up of the control
Specifically for
touch probes
with infrared
transmission:
Battery flat (capacity below 10 %)
--> In this case the message Exchange touch probe battery is output, when a probing operation is
started.
No infrared connection due to contamination of the probe and/or the transmitter/receiver unit
Obstacle in the infrared connection or strong shading of transmitter or receiver
Contact on infrared touch probe not closed or defective
Several touch probes may be within the receiving range of one SE; the infrared signals cannot be
allocated any more; faulty operation
Cable to transceiver unit defective
Interface to transmitter/receiver unit on PLB 62xx system module or UEC 11x compact controller
defective
Specifically for
touch probe
with air turbine
generator (TS 444)
Compressed air supply for integrated turbine generator missing
Air turbine generator or capacitors defective
Specifically for
laser systems
Damage to the housing
Compressed air supply missing (required to open the shutters of the transmitter and receiver of the
laser beam and for the blowing unit)
If the capacitors in the TS 444 cannot be sufficiently charged, the touch probe outputs a battery
warning. This means that the error message Exchange touch probe battery is displayed at the
control. With the TS 444, this is of course not required. Find the actual error cause!
