3. STARTING GOCATOR
NOTE: Gocator must be connected to a host computer in order to launch the user interface and setup the sensor.
Gocator sensors are configured by connecting with a web browser.
The user interface is supported with FireFox 3.5+, Chrome 4.0+, & Internet Explorer 8.0+. (Use FireFox or Chrome for optimal
performance.) The Adobe Flash browser plugin version 10.0+ must be installed.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SUGGESTED RESOLUTION
Mechanical / Environmental
The sensor is warm. • It is normal for a sensor to be warm when powered on.
Connection
When connecting with a web browser, the
sensor is not found (page does not load).
• Verify the sensor power is on. This will be indicated by an illuminated POWER LED.
• Verify the cable from the sensor’s LAN connector is plugged into the Ethernet port on the client computer.
• Verify that the client computer’s network settings are properly configured. Refer to the Connecting to a New
• Sensor section in the Gocator user manual or to your computer’s documentation on configuring a network adapter.
• Download 14405-x.x.x.x_software_go2_tools.zip from the downloads area of LMI’s website at www.lmi3D.com.
Unzip and run the Sensor Discovery Tool [bin>win32>kDiscovery.exe] to verify that the sensor has the correct network settings.
When attempting to log in, the password is not
accepted.
• Download 14405-x.x.x.x_software_go2_tools.zip from from the downloads area of LMI’s website at www.lmi3D.com.
Unzip and run the Sensor Discovery Tool [bin>win32>kDiscovery.exe] to discover the sensor on the network and restore default settings.
NOTE: Using the Sensor Discovery tool will reset your configuration settings to default - these settings can be recovered from the backup
files if previously saved.
Laser Profiling
When the Play button is pressed, the sensor
does not emit laser light.
• Ensure that the decal covering the laser emitter window, normally affixed to new sensors, has been removed.
• Verify that the LASER LED on the Gocator is illuminated, if not, the laser safety input signal is off. Refer to
•Laser Safety Input Section in the Gocator user manual to determine the correct solution for your application.
• The exposure setting may be too low. Refer to the Exposure section in the Gocator User Manual for more information
• on configuring exposure time.
The sensor emits laser light, but the
Range Indicator does not illuminate and/or
points are not displayed in the Profile Viewer.
• Verify that the measurement target is within the sensor’s field of view and measurement range.
The RANGE LED on the Gocator will illuminate when the target is in range.
• Check that the exposure time is set to a reasonable level. Refer to the Exposure section in the Gocator User Manual
•for more information on configuring exposure time.
The sensor CPU level is near 100%.
• Review the active measurements and eliminate any that are unnecessary measurements.
• Consider reducing the trigger speed.
• Consider reducing the laser profiling resolution.

GOCATOR OVERVIEW
There are several sensor models in the Gocator 2000 series, each
designed with a unique Clearance Distance (CD), Measurement
Range (MR) and Field of View (FOV). Refer to your User Manual
for more information about your model.
GROUNDING GOCATOR
Gocator housings should be grounded to the earth and the
grounding shield of the Gocator I/O cordsets. Gocator
sensors have been designed to provide adequate grounding
through the use of M5 x 0.8 screws. Always check grounding
with a multi-meter to ensure electrical continuity between the
mounting frame and the Gocator connectors.
The frame or electrical cabinet that the Gocator is mounted to
must be connected to earth ground.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Minimize voltage potential between system ground
and sensor ground
Care should be taken to minimize the voltage potential
between system ground (ground reference for I/O signals)
and sensor ground. Use shielded cables with shield grounded
at both ends. Sensor housing should be connected to earth
ground.
Use a suitable power supply
The +24-48V power supply used with Gocator 2000 sensors
should be an isolated supply with inrush current protection.
Use care when handling powered devices
Wires connecting to the sensor should not be handled while
the sensor is powered. Doing so may cause electrical shock to
the user or damage to the equipment.
Failure to adhere to the guidelines described
in this section may result in electrical shock
or equipment damage.
NOTE: Mounting the Gocator is recommended prior to applying power. Ensure that a proper earth ground and
heat sink have been properly established prior to applying power.
LASER SAFETY
The full laser safety details including precautions,
responsibilities and requirements are stated in the Gocator
User Manual. Use of controls or adjustments or performing
procedures other than those specified in the User Manual may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.

WARNING: DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY
INTO THE LASER BEAM
The light emitted from these devices has been set in accordance
with IEC60825. However, staring into the beam, whether directly
or indirectly, must be avoided. IEC60825 classifies laser products
into three different categories depending on light emitted,
wavelength and eye safety.
This product is designated for use solely as a component and as
such it does not fully comply with the standards relating to laser
products specified in U.S. FDA CFR Title 21 part 1040 and
IEC 60825-1.
