Why is my OPHIR StarBright reading incorrectly?
If your OPHIR Measuring Instruments device shows incorrect or erratic readings, especially on a sensitive scale, it might be due to electromagnetic interference from the pulsing laser causing misreading or false triggering.
What to do if OPHIR StarBright triggers without laser pulses?
If your OPHIR Measuring Instruments device triggers without laser pulses, ensure the sensor is mounted to the stand using the insulated plastic rod provided, and not a metal rod.
How to troubleshoot OPHIR StarBright that won't operate after being discharged?
If your OPHIR Measuring Instruments device doesn't operate after being completely discharged and connected to the charger, verify that the charger is providing 12V.
Why does OPHIR StarBright Measuring Instruments work with charger but not battery?
If your OPHIR Measuring Instruments device operates with the charger but not with the battery alone, recharge it overnight with the StarBright turned off for 5 hours. If it still does not work with the battery, the Lithium Ion battery is probably dead and needs replacement.
How to fix OPHIR Measuring Instruments that doesn't return to zero?
If your OPHIR Measuring Instruments device does not return completely to zero on power measurement: * If the sensor is very hot, allow it to cool. * Disconnect the sensor from the instrument. If the readout unit still doesn't zero, follow the instructions for Zero Adjustments. If the offset persists, try zeroing with the sensor connected, as described in the same section.
What to do if OPHIR Measuring Instruments triggers on noise?
If your OPHIR Measuring Instruments device triggers on background noise or sometimes fails to catch a large pulse, increase the threshold level. See Set Threshold.
Why does OPHIR StarBright show a high frequency?
If your OPHIR Measuring Instruments device shows a frequency that is too high: 1. Try keeping the cable away from the bench. 2. Move the sensor/display further away from EMI.
What to do if OPHIR StarBright Measuring Instruments is not ready after reading?
If your OPHIR Measuring Instruments device does not show ready for a long while after a reading is made, increase the threshold level. See Set Threshold.
Why does OPHIR Measuring Instruments show zero reading?
If your OPHIR Measuring Instruments device shows a zero reading in both power and energy modes: * Check the connections between the sensor and the instrument (see Maintenance of Thermopile Sensors). * Check that the sensor disc is operative. Resistance between pins 1 and 9 of the sensor connector should be about 1.8k. If the sensor is defective, there will be an open or short circuit.
How to fix OPHIR StarBright Measuring Instruments with non-reproducible results?
If you are getting non-reproducible results when measuring very small energy pulses, or no response to pulses at low energy with your OPHIR Measuring Instruments device, decrease the threshold level. See Set Threshold.
