When a sensor detects a problem, the system activates an audible alarm and flashing
beacon on the module where the error occurred. Identify the hardware module where the
error has occurred and then look up the error code in the Error Code tables in this
document.

The most common errors tend to be jammed sample tube carriers, which can happen
anywhere along the track. Sample tube carriers can jam when a stopper under the track
engages incorrectly, or due to a timing issue. Evaluate the cause of the jam.
