4 Most Common Lumenis LightSheer Error Codes Requiring A Repair Specialist’s Assistance
If you are receiving any of the error codes listed below, you will need the help of a qualified laser technician:
- Error/Fault Code “E3”: When operating one of the Lumenis-Lightsheer models, if this error message appears on screen, that means the device has a malfunctioning central processing unit (CPU). Unfortunately this fault code means that the embedded computer board is in need of replacement. With a failed memory, the device will be unable to properly function and must be replaced before being able to use your LightSheer again.
- Stuck in “Cooling Mode”: This issue may not display a fault code at all but this means that based on the results from the console’s energy detector, which measures the diode laser output, that it is too low. This is also referred to the equipment being stuck in “Cooling Mode.” If your equipment is stuck in cooling mode it won’t go into ready mode.
- E6 (Over-Current, Diode Issue): If this fault code presents itself on screen, this may require a reset by the operator which is done by turning the system off and waiting half a minute before restarting. If the error message continues after a restart, you will probably need to replace the diodes. At this point get in contact with a laser technician – at Apex Medical Lasers, we carry OEM parts for faster turnarounds.
- E15 Calibration out of range: When this error code is present, that means the operating temperature is outside of the range calibrated for the device. With its internal temperature monitoring system, this will lead to the system disabling operation until re-calibrated.
