The Real-time Status Bar reads 'MISALIGNED!' instead of 'Sensor OK'

Issue: The Real-time Status Bar reads 'MISALIGNED!' instead of 'Sensor OK'.

Solution: possible causes and actions to take:

  • Sensor is misaligned or was pulled out of the handle.
    Remove and re-insert Sensor.
  • Sensor is inserted upside down in the handle.
    Remove the Sensor. Make certain that the This Side UP legend is facing the handle latch.
  • The terminals on the Sensor are dirty.
    Clean the terminal sections of the Sensor carefully with a cloth moistened with alcohol.
  • Two Sensors are stuck together.
    Remove Sensors and peel apart. Re-insert one Sensor.
  • Sensor is damaged.
    Replace the Sensor with a different Sensor.
  • The Handle electronics are damaged.
    If multiple Sensors produce the same "MISALIGNED" error message, there may be a problem with the electronics. Contact Tekscan Technical Support.
