9. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
The Magna-Mike 8600 is an industrial quality electronic instrument that requires very
little maintenance. Most troubleshooting and maintenance procedures may be done
by the user. However if problems persist, please contact Olympus for technical
assistance.
9.1 Probe
If an unknown target error message occurs during calibration, it means that the gage
is unable to identify the target or target ball. The Magna-Mike 8600 can only auto-
detect the target balls when 86PR-1 and 86PR-2 probes are used. You must manually
select the target when using the 86PR-3 probe or when using a target disk or wire.
This could also be due to probe failure, or that the target ball is not resting centered on
top of the probe tip. Verify that the ball is in the alignment fixture; the fixture moves
freely and is seated correctly on the probe; and the ball is sitting on the probe tip. (If
the alignment or reference fixtures do not slide onto the probe freely, the target ball
may be at an incorrect distance away from the tip.)
9.2 Battery (Optional Lithium-Ion)
Under normal operating conditions, the gage can operate for at least 15 hours to
16 hours between charges. The percentage of remaining battery charge constantly
appears at the lower-right corner of the display, indicating the remaining battery life.
When the battery charge becomes insufficient, the gage automatically turns off to
prevent damage to the battery. Recharge the battery using the charger and line cord
supplied with the unit.
