  If your Panasonic Measuring Instruments system isn't starting, there are several potential causes: * The power cable might not be properly connected. Ensure the power supply cable is securely connected. * The key switch may not be turned on. Turn on the key switch. * There might be an issue with the power supply itself. Check the power supply. * In the case of the LP-GS series, the fuse might be blown. Replace the fuse, referring to the 'Setup/Maintenance Guide' for the correct procedure. * For LP-RC, LP-RH, LP-RF, LP-RV, and LP-ZV series, the circuit protector could be off. Turn on the circuit protector, following the instructions in the 'Setup/Maintenance Guide'. * There could be a fault in the internal circuit. Check the external power supply with the laser marker removed. ...

  Jennifer TuckerNov 19, 2025
  If laser pumping isn't starting in your Panasonic Measuring Instruments, consider these possible causes: * The I/O terminals might be disconnected. Specifically, check the connection of INTERLOCK 1(+) - INTERLOCK 1(-), INTERLOCK 2(+) - INTERLOCK 2(-). For LP-GS series, check LASER STOP 2 IN - OUT COM. 1. For LP-RC/LP-RH/LP-RF/LP-RV/LP-ZV series, check REMOTE INTERLOCK IN - OUT COM. 1. If safety equipment is released, restore it. * The 'stop laser' button in the configuration software might be activated. Resolve any safety issues, then select 'Reset' in the error dialog of Laser Marker NAVI smart. If using an optional touch panel console or monitor for LP-RH/LP-ZV, select 'Reset' on its screen. * Power might not be supplied to the common terminal of the I/O terminal block. Connect th...
