Chapter 5  Maintaining the LSK-GG 

There are no serviceable parts in LSK-GG. If you suspect a problem with the LSK-GG, please contact our nearest 

office for assistance from an applications engineer (see 

Chapter 12 Thorlabs Worldwide Contacts 

for details). 

5.1.  Cleaning 

WARNING 

Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the unit to prevent any injuries. 

 

CAUTION 

DO NOT expose the unit to spray, liquids, or solvent. This may damage the unit. DO NOT allow 

spilled fluid to enter the internal mechanism. If spillage does occur, clean up immediately using an 

absorbent tissue. 

To clean the Controller Box and Scan Head: 

  Use a damp lint-free cloth to wipe the outer surface of the unit. 

  Use Compressed Air to remove the dust particles on the mirrors. 

CAUTION 

DO NOT touch the surface of the Galvo mirrors with fingers or tools to clean the mirrors. 

5.2.  Troubleshooting 

Problem 

Solution 

X FAULT and/or Y FAULT LED turns on 

  Check all cable connections. 

  Make sure the Scan Head is free from any obstruction. 

  Unplug and replug the power supply. 

  Scanner  has  exceeded  the  maximum  recommended 

mechanical/electrical  range.  There  are  internal 

mechanical stops within the scanner that prevent it from 

spinning  a  full  360

,  however  during  a  fault  state,  the 

current must be shut off before the rotor reaches these 

internal stops.  

Please contact Thorlabs Technical Support for assistance. 

CAUTION 

DO NOT let the system stay in this over-position 

indefinitely. This may damge the scanner.
