Troubleshooting

Error

Symptom

Possible causes and corrective measures

E-40

Rotor stops without brake
to standstill.

Instrument cannot be
operated.

Acceleration of rotor too slow

Open the lid and check the load!

Significant imbalance caused by missing bucket

Tubes or adapter do not fit
(rotor is rubbing the chamber or the cover)

Micro plates carriers on the motor cover

If the error persists, contact KENDRO service.
