1.1 Purpose
The purpose of these articles is to help Universal Robots (UR) users and integrators to safely
perform service-related operations and troubleshooting.
Universal Robots industrial robots are designed using high quality components to ensure a long
lifetime. However, improper use of a robot or robot parts can potentially cause failures. If, for
example, the robot is overloaded, dropped during relocation, damaged by collision, or any other
improper usage, the warranty will be void.
Universal Robots recommends the user does not attempt repair, adjustment, or make other
interventions in the mechanical or electrical systems of the robot without first consulting an UR
certified service engineer. Any unauthorized intervention voids the warranty. Service-related
operations and troubleshooting should only be performed by qualified personnel.
Before performing service-related operations, stop the robot program and disconnect the main
power to any potentially dangerous tool on the robot or in the surroundings.
In the event of a defect, Universal Robots recommends ordering new parts from the Universal
Robot distributor where the robot was originally purchased. Alternatively, parts can be ordered
from the nearest distributor, details of which can be obtained from Universal Robots official
website at www.universal-robots.com

In this first section, we are going to cover where to download the different files and how to install
PolyScope on a storage device.
In this example are we using a program called Rufus, to create our storage device with PolyScope
installed. Other programs can be used as well.
Rufus is a fast, small program that helps format and create bootable devices.
Rufus is a third-party software and not associated with Universal Robots A/S
If you have a CF card chose 2.0 for CB2 and CB3.0 for CB3.
If you have a USB chose 2.1 for CB2.1 and CB3.1 for CB3.
When installing a fresh image of PolyScope, all data on your storage device will be deleted.
If necessarily make a backup of all wanted data before proceeding. See Service Manuals software
section for more information on how backup and upload files.
If the storage device has already been used, it MUST be formatted first.
Note: e-Series SD card is divided into 4 partitions.

First insert your storage device in your computer. If your device already contains a version of
PolyScope and you haven’t installed a program to access an EXT2/3/4 file system, your computer
will recognize that a device has been connected/mounted, but it won’t be accessible.
Note that some programs which can be used to access an EXT2/3/4 file system, can conflict with
Rufus, if both programs are using the device at the same time.
When Rufus is started up, it should look like the picture above.
If you look at the first line under device, you can choose which device you want to use. In this
example, our device been mounted as drive: I.
After you have chosen your storage device, go to the next section “boot selection” and press on the
SELECT button to the right.
In this example we are using a USB pen and therefor the image is for CB3.1.
After you have opened the file, press the START button in bottom.
When the entire status bar is green and says ready, you can close the program and remove your
storage device.
You should now have a fully functional version of PolyScope installed on your storage device.
