LI sun interference

[2006goat]

When the LI notifies that the sun is interfering, and the sun continues to interfere, how long before the unit gives another warning? Or will it only warm again if the sun issue goes away, and then comes back?

It depends on what the setting is on your CPU. Most are set at 120 seconds but as of late, I've been setting them to 255.

would you be able to tell by S/N?

[Laser-InterceptorUSA]

No. You need to check it with the LI User's Software.

Hey Cliff..... first off I am extremely happy with my new LI. Don't know if you read the posts, but we did a few runs here in NJ with the PLII and I had no issues at all. I am having trouble accessing the software though. Hooked up the laptop via the serial cable, but it says that the port is in use and I tried it with all 6 ports.
PORT 1, 2 &3 have nothing on them. Any suggestions??

Joe,

If you are using the proper USB to Serial cable, it should have an ADSI Chip on-board or it will NOT be able to communicate with the CPU.

Try this procedure after successfully loading the drivers for the USB to Serial adapter.

1. First you need to connect the USB to Serial adapter.

2. I'm using WIN XP. Click START, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, System, Hardware, Device manager, scroll down and expand Ports (COM & LPT).

3. You will see the USB to Serial Bridge. If it doesnt say "COM1" then follow the next few steps.

4. Double click the USB to Serial Bridge

5. Click on tab Port Settings.

6. Click on Advanced button.

7. Click on drop down and change the COM Port Number to 1, Click OK.

I'm using Windows XP off of my approx. 3 year-old datalogging laptop, with a simple "Straight Thru" Serial RS232 DB9 "extension cable" - male-to-female, 3 ft. length (0.91 meters).

Easy to get, at your local MicroCenter, or the like.

so it will be in reduced power mode for 255 seconds?

How long will it stay in reduced power mode after I get a SIA?

[Laser-InterceptorUSA]

Not reduced power! It will Jam with Full Power if the sun does not overpower (interfere) with an incoming LIDAR signal received simultaneously but the newer 7.xx Variant CPU's have been designed to address this so all one has now is merely the SIA Alert to deal with and no longer the concern of the LI NOT jamming due to SI.

That's great to know Cliff. Thanks. Hats off to the designers/engineers at LI!
