Error Codes

ERROR0

Instrument malfunction. Call
for service

ERROR1

Blank solution exceeds
range.

ERROR2

Absorbance of tested sample
lower than that of blank
solution.

ERROR3

Absorbance of tested sample
too high.

ERROR4

Blank solution exceeds
range.

ERROR5

Instrument malfunction. Call
for service.

ERROR6

Instrument malfunction. Call
for service.

Filter Motor Error

Filter Motor is not function
ing.

Wavel. Motor Error Wavelength Motor is not

functioning.

Note

Be sure to check the Blank
solution or sample solution
and WAVELENGTH first when-
ever an error message shows
on the display.

After checking or correction,
press 100%T/OA button to
blank again.

Note

Turn the power off and turn the
power on to re-start the sys-
tem.

If the display continues to
show an error message, call
for service.
