Manufacturer Reason for Recall | A broken fuse inside the laser that was caused by a short circuit at PIN 4 of the DOOR CTRL. This short circuit was caused by a badly
positioned cable that made contact with the housing/frame and caused a short
circuit and destroyed the fuse in the laser. This caused the shutter to remain in its
most recent state; either in an open or closed position. Once the fuse was destroyed
the shutter could not be operated. |
