1. Read the error message, acknowledge the alarm and, immediately
afterward, press the "
PAUSE
" knob. The transport arm moves into a se-
cure position. The instrument is now in pause mode and the instrument
cover can be opened.
Caution!
As long as the level sensor is covered with water, the water flow
cuvettes' (7-12) water valves are closed. The cleaning process in
the water flow cuvettes is interrupted. No fresh water flows into
the water flow cuvettes.
Subsequently, remove cuvettes 1 and 13 (
see label in Fig. 72
). Inspect the
water drain for clogs and the level sensor for dirt.
Caution!
If there are specimens in cuvettes 1 and 13, these must be secured
by the user and manually removed from the relevant cuvettes and
out of the instrument as necessary. Depending on the relevant
staining steps at the time of the alarm, the user must secure the
specimen so that no damage to the specimen results (for example,
by transferring them into suitable, compatible reagents).
During a period of approximately 10 seconds, monitor to see whether
the water level in the drain pan drops slowly or remains high.
Remove visible blockages to the water drain (
Fig. 73
,
2
) and dirt on the
level sensor (
Fig. 73
,
1
).
The staining process can go forward if sufficient water drainage is
again ensured.
For this purpose, reinsert cuvettes 1 and 13 in the instrument. The user
must decide at this point whether the specimens taken from cuvettes
1 and 13 can be reused or whether these should be stained manually
until finished. In this case, the respective programs must be canceled!
(
refer to chapter 5.8.4 - Quitting programs
).
Restart the staining process by pressing the "
CONTINUE
" button (
refer
also to chapter 5.8.3 - Interrupting staining
).
