Revision A (Sep 2007)

Pulses look funny on an
oscilloscope.

Wiring

The pulse outputs should look
something like the picture:


In this picture:
User V

IN

= +24V

DC

Channel 1: Phase A True
Channel 2: Phase A False
Channel 3: Phase B True
Channel 4: Phase B False

If the pulses don't look like this, then the
oscilloscope may not be connected
properly, or the pulses/counter may be
wired incorrectly.
• Check that you are connected to the

correct pins

• Check that the scope ground leads

are connected to Signal Ground,
and not Phase A False and Phase B
False.

• Check that Phase A False and

Phase B False are not connected to
signal ground.


Miscellaneous


Gauge resets itself, (Laser On
flashing, shutter opening/closing)

Power Supply voltage is too
low on a long cable

Check +24VDC supply. Adjust up to
+29VDC if necessary.

See Appendix D for more information

Laser is flashing

Ambient temperature is too
high (or low.)

If the ambient temperature is too high,
the gauge may not be able to properly
control the laser temperature.

Connect air or water coolant to reduce
the gauge temperature. See the

Specifications

section for details.

Laser At Temperature




Laser Interlock

If in a hot environment, cooling may be
required for the gauge to maintain the
proper laser temperature. See the
specifications section for details.
