 Screener PLUS Hardware Manual: Part Number 11811 Rev B, Getting to Know the iQue Screener PLUS

Status Light Detail

The iQue Screener PLUS has a status light that indicates whether the system is ready to run. The status indicator 

in the ForeCyt controller window will match the physical status light. Green = Ready. Yellow = Warning. Red = Not 

Ready.

The iQue Screener PLUS will continue to run if it encounters a warning. For example, a “Waste Bottle is close to full” 

warning will not cause the current run to stop. However, if the iQue Screener Plus encounters an error, such as a 

“Sheath is empty” error, the current operation will terminate.
