    What to do if the Tri-Star M100LFG-TT/150 power-ON light is not illuminated?
    • P
      Paula BondAug 13, 2025
      If the power-ON light is not illuminated, it could be due to a disconnected line cord. Ensure the line cord is properly connected. Another possible cause is that the main power switch on the back of the cabinet is not turned on; in that case, turn on the main power switch.

    Why is the Laser Fault light on (local fault) on my Tri-Star Measuring Instruments?
    • A
      Alexis MoonAug 16, 2025
      If the Laser Fault light is on (local fault), several issues could be the cause. Here are a few things to check: * Ensure the cooling system is turned on. * Check or replace the cooling system pump if it's malfunctioning. * Verify the water bubbling in the cooling system reservoir. * Check the flow switch connections to the laser power supply. * Confirm the flow direction relative to the flow sensor.

    What to do if the pilot beam is on, but no or partial message is printed on the wire with my Tri-Star M100LFG-TT/150 Measuring Instruments?

      If the pilot beam is on but no or partial message is printed on the wire, it could be due to an alignment problem. Check the alignment. Alternatively, the laser might not be switching into the power mode. In this case, check the Scanalone Q-SW connection to the back of the Laser Power Supply.

    How to fix low contrast marking on Tri-Star M100LFG-TT/150 Measuring Instruments?
    • C

      If the marking is not legible due to low contrast, first ensure that you are using a wire that is laser markable. If the wire is correct, the laser power might be below normal. Follow the laser power tuning procedure, lower the objective position, and reduce the line spacing and marking speed.

    What to do if the laser is on, but no pilot beam is detected on the wire with my Tri-Star M100LFG-TT/150?

      If the laser is on, but no pilot beam is detected on the wire, it could be due to an alignment problem. Check the wire position and scanner offsets. You can also trace the beam with a piece of paper starting from the objective. If that doesn't work, try restarting the system. Another possible cause is that there is no beam at all. Make sure that laser shutter is open and cooling temperature is 20C. Check the front panel of the laser power supply for specific faults.

    What to do if the message is not changing from wire to wire on Tri-Star Measuring Instruments?
    • J
      Judith HernandezSep 1, 2025
      If the message is not changing from wire to wire, check the connection between the PLC and scanner board.

    What to do if my Tri-Star M100LFG-TT/150 display “Unable to load correction file”?
    • B
      Brian MosesSep 4, 2025
      If you see an “Unable to load correction file” message, check the Computer-Scanner connection. You can also try quitting the marker program and reconnecting the cable on the computer side.

    Why is the wire length not accurate on Tri-Star Measuring Instruments?
    • K
      kevin81Sep 8, 2025
      If the wire length is not accurate, check and/or replace the belts. If necessary, adjust the belt pressure and straightener tension.
