Key tips
- ·Verify laser output with a real power meter, not the unit's own display - the display can drift independently of true output.
- ·Take "the image looks a little off" reports seriously - optical alignment drift is usually gradual, not sudden.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
No or dim illumination / lamp fault
HighSymptoms: No light output, dim or flickering light, lamp-hours alarm, colour shift.
Root cause: Xenon / LED lamp at end of life, a lamp power supply fault, or a light-cable fault.
Poor video image
HighSymptoms: Noisy, dark, discoloured or out-of-focus image, dropouts, no image.
Root cause: Camera head / coupler fault, a camera-cable fault, or a CCU / video-processor fault.
White-balance / colour fault
MediumSymptoms: Cannot white-balance, persistent colour cast.
Root cause: Camera head sensor drift, a dirty coupler, or the light source colour temperature.
Overheating / fan fault
LowSymptoms: Thermal shutdown, loud fan, hot exhaust.
Root cause: Failed or clogged cooling fan.
Output / connector fault
LowSymptoms: Signal only on one output, connector damage, HD/SDI dropout.
Root cause: Worn video output connector or an output board fault.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Optical alignment / calibration check
- ·Lamp or laser output verification
- ·Annual full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: No or dim light
- Check the lamp-hours counter and replace the lamp module if near / past its rating.
- Inspect the fibre-optic light cable for dark (broken) fibres against a bright light.
- Confirm the lamp strikes (listen / watch) and the fan runs.
- Replace the lamp power supply if the lamp will not strike.
- Verify full brightness with a fresh cable.
Symptom: Poor video image
- Clean the scope lens and coupler and re-white-balance.
- Swap the camera head and cable to isolate head vs CCU.
- Confirm the light source output and cable.
- Try a second monitor / output cable.
- Replace the camera head or refer the CCU as isolated.
