Problem
This article applies to P2 machines with the additional VAS-500
The VAS Sensor does not show up in InSpec, is detected but does not measure or the calibration fails.
Solution
The following steps describe how to check the cable that connects the VAS-500 to the machine.
Power down and unplug the machine
Remove the Z-axis cover of the machine
Remove the Zoom Board cover
Identify the cable that connects the VAS to the Zoom Board
Doublecheck the cable combination and color-coding of the connectors
Pay special attention to the white and green cables
In case cables are connected incorrectly, the cables can be swapped. For more information contact the Micro-Vu support team.
Another potential issue could be a cable inserted too far into the green connector like shown below
If this might be the case, press down the orange lever with a slotted screwdriver, remove and carefully reinsert the cable into the connector.
Power on the machine, launch InSpec and test if the VAS-500 measurement values are displayed.
