What to do if LASER LED is off on my Opt Lasers GRAV PLH3D-CNC?
- J
  jamie36Aug 4, 2025
  If the LASER LED is off, there might be several reasons: * There is no laser controlling signal, so verify the controller connection and pulse sending. * The laser beam has been disabled by the controller, so verify the controller connection and pulse sending. * The laser head is not armed, so arm it by pressing the mode button. * The enable inputs have the wrong state selection, so provide the right combination of states at the enable inputs. * Set up the right enable option. * The laser control signal is fed to a wrong input, so attach the controlling signal to the right input. * There is no control signal connected, so check the connections.

Why is the POWER LED off on my Opt Lasers GRAV PLH3D-CNC Engraver?

  jbooneAug 10, 2025
  If the POWER LED is off, it could be due to several reasons: * The key switch is not turned on, so turn the key into the upper position. * The power supply unit is not attached either to the mains or to the PLH3D-CNC Adapter, so plug the power supply in. * There is no mains supply (grid power), so check the mains supply. * The power supply unit is defective, so replace it. * The PLH3D-CNC Adapter is defective, so send it in for repair.

What to do if ARMED LED is flashing on Opt Lasers Engraver?
- E
  Erica WashingtonAug 17, 2025
  If the ARMED LED is flashing, it indicates: * An external switch has been opened. Close the switch and rearm the laser head by pressing the mode button. * The connection with the laser head has been broken. Reconnect the laser head and rearm it by pressing the mode button.
