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.
Low or no irradiance
HighSymptoms: Blue-light output weak or absent, irradiance below the therapeutic level on a radiometer, lamp-hours alarm.
Root cause: LED array / fluorescent tubes / halogen bulb at end of life, a driver / ballast fault, or a fibre-optic pad fault (blanket).
Uneven light field
MediumSymptoms: One section dim, patchy coverage.
Root cause: A failed LED segment or tube, or a damaged fibre-optic pad.
Fan / thermal fault
MediumSymptoms: Overheating, thermal shutdown, loud fan.
Root cause: Failed or blocked cooling fan.
Timer / hour-meter / control fault
LowSymptoms: Treatment timer or lamp-hour meter wrong, controls unresponsive.
Root cause: Control-board fault.
Irradiance meter out of calibration (if a paired meter)
LowSymptoms: Meter disagrees with a reference radiometer.
Root cause: Meter drift - needs calibration.

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: Low or no irradiance
- Measure irradiance with a matched radiometer at the manufacturer's specified distance.
- Check the lamp-hours counter and replace the light source if near / past its rating.
- Inspect for failed LED segments or tubes.
- For a blanket, inspect the fibre-optic pad for damage.
- Replace the light source or driver and re-measure irradiance.
Symptom: Uneven or patchy light
- Identify the dim section.
- Replace the failed LED segment / tube.
- For a blanket, replace the fibre-optic pad.
- Confirm even irradiance across the field with the radiometer.
- Log the new lamp-hours baseline.
