12. Troubleshooting
You can find a troubleshooting guide for common system problems in the MP150 Linescanner
manual.
CS210 specific problems you can find listed below.
Possible Cause / Solution
• The system has lost synchronization due to missing signals from the position indicator:
o Check alignment and distance between trigger bar and position indicator.
o Increase the metal mass of the trigger bar for a reliable signal generation.
o Check the wiring.
• Note: The trigger signal can be verified by a blinking LED on the junction box located close to the
position indicator!
• Note: The scanner can be checked directly in the field with a laptop via the communication interface in
the system connection box with the software tool “PComm.exe” found in the CS installation folder!
Communication
via Fibre Optic
• If there is no communication after installation and powering of all components required - please check
the ‘cross-over’ of the two fibres between the glass fibre converter in the field and the control room
(TX is in all cases to be connected to RX of the other converter)!
Communication
via COM port
• If there is no communication after installation and powering of all components required - use another
PC or laptop (exclude DSR problem with the COM port)!
• Restart the CS software with an empty database temporarily!
• Use only Raytek supplied position indicators!
To get quick help send a detailed error report to Raytek including the current CS
configuration and/or the complete CS database! See more in section 11.1.4
export CS configurations, page 97.
