    Why does SICK Scanner show a dazzle warning?
    • M
      Mr. Robert LopezSep 14, 2025
      If your SICK Scanner is showing a dazzle warning, it indicates that an external light source might be interfering with the scan plane. To resolve this, check for any potential light sources and then remove or cover them.
