Clean the tube

The sampler measures the sampling volume with two capacitive sensors. Based on the sampling point, dirt can
collect on the silicon tube. Refer to 

Figure 3

.

If the message "Error sensor / error electrodes" shows, clean the tube as follows:

1.

Cut a piece of sponge of approximately 12 x 12 mm.

Note: As an alternative, buy a cleaning sponge. There are cleaning sponge balls with different diameters ready to use.

Make sure that the diameter of the sponge is more than the tube diameter. Refer to 

Figure 2

.

2.

On the sampler menu select 

DIAGNOSTICS / TEST

 > 

COMPONENT TEST

 > 

PUMP

 to manually operate the

pump in forward (suction) and backward (purging).

3.

Moisten the sponge and put it into the tube by using the tube suction. Then, alternatingly operate the pump in
the two directions.
The sponge collects the dirt on the tube.
