6 Troubleshooting
6.1 Overview
The following features help you to identify and eliminate the source for problems that may
occur during the operation of the flow manager.
Status Indicators
The status indicators on the front panel provide a quick visual check of the operational status
of the flow manager. They indicate whether the flow manager is turned on, connected in
Chromeleon, and operating properly (
→
Front Panel Display and Controls, page 20).
Error Messages
If a fault or mechanical error is detected during the operation of the flow manager, an error
message is generated on the user interface. Check the Error Messages section (

page 62) for
a short description of possible causes along with recommended courses of action. If the flow
manager is operated by Chromeleon, the error is also logged in the Chromeleon Audit Trail.

UltiMate system, probable causes, and remedial actions, refer to the
UltiMate 3000 Proteomics MDLC system manual.
Diagnostics Tests

allowing you to check the performance of certain device components (
