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.
Illumination failure or dim light
HighSymptoms: No or dim light, sudden loss during surgery.
Root cause: Lamp at end of life, or a lamp-turret / power-supply fault.
Suspension / swing arm drift
HighSymptoms: Head drifts or will not stay positioned after an accessory change.
Root cause: Arm not re-balanced, or worn magnetic brakes.
DeepView depth-of-field control fault
MediumSymptoms: DeepView will not toggle, or no change in depth perception / brightness when switched.
Root cause: DeepView aperture mechanism or its control.
Motorised zoom / focus fault
MediumSymptoms: Zoom or focus will not run from the foot control.
Root cause: Zoom/focus motor, foot control, or cabling.

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
- Switch to the onboard spare lamp if the turret allows.
- Unplug, let the lamp cool and replace it.
- Check the power-supply output and mains fuse.
- Confirm the lamp is seated.
- Verify even, full-brightness illumination.
Symptom: Head will not hold position
- Re-balance the swing arm for the current accessory load.
- Adjust the magnetic brakes.
- Replace the brake / balance assembly if it will not hold.
- Return the arm to transport position when moving the stand.
- Confirm the head stays put across the working range.
