Synrad FH FLYER - Stand-Alone Mode

SYNRAD FH Series Flyer Operator’s Manual Version 3.4
Troubleshooting
Possible Causes:
The laser is not enabled.
Check that the laser’s Ready light is illuminated. On Series 48 and Evolution lasers, check that the Lase
indicator is glowing dimly (tickle mode) and that it appears brighter (lasing mode) as the mark is made.
On Firestar lasers, check that RDY (Ready) and SHT (Shutter) indicators are lit and that the LASE indi-
cator illuminates as the mark is being made. Refer to your laser’s Operator’s Manual if indicators do
not illuminate as described.
The Laser Control cable is not connected between the laser and the marking head.
Refer to Connecting in the Getting Started chapter for information on connecting the Laser Control cable
between Flyer and your particular laser.
The Fast Acting Safety Interlock (FASI) feature is enabled.
When the FASI feature is enabled (If the FASI Enable property on the “Device” tab under Tools / General
Settings… is Yes), then you must apply a 5 V–24 VDC signal on Flyer input IN3 to re the laser.
Symptom:
FH Flyer is not marking properly or there are indications of operational faults within the head.
Possible Causes:
Flyer has, or is experiencing, one or more fault or error conditions.
Before contacting SYNRAD Technical Support, download and review Flyer’s Error Logs. To do this, go to
the Tools menu in WinMark Pro, highlight Get Flyer Head Logs, and select Main Message Log. WinMark
prompts you for a location in which to save the .log le (the default is the WinMark installation folder
– C:\Program Files\WinMark). After the le is saved to your hard drive, it opens to display a recent his-
tory of Flyer operation.
Stand-alone mode
Symptom:
Flyer is waiting for an input during a stand-alone mark session. Pwr and Status indicators are illumi-
nated green, but the head will not connect and communicate to WinMark Pro through Ethernet or
USB connections.
Possible Causes:
Flyer will not connect to Ethernet or USB ports while waiting for an input during a stand-alone mark
session.
Disconnect power from the head and then attach the appropriate Ethernet or USB connection between
Flyer and your computer. Re-apply power to Flyer. When the head boots up, it will re-establish communi-
cation with the computer before beginning the stand-alone mark session.
