SAC arm 
obstructed 
(SAC error)

The  arm has been blocked and or cannot function properly. 
Remove the obstruction and press 

Resume analysis

 (key 

1

) to 

continue the sequence from the point it stopped.

SAC ext. cell 
GND

If a Sample Changer is in use, specify if the grounding of the 
measuring cell takes place using an external connection to the 
sample changer. This is the case when a solution is grounded using a 
metal shield or via a conductivity cell connected to a conductivity 
meter.

SAC Method

Refer to "Working mode", page 254

.

SAC option 
missing (SAC 
error)

Sample changer error: The SAC option addressed is missing and not 
installed on the sample changer. 

Examples: 

Dynamic rinses are programmed in the sequence and no dynamic 
rinse module is installed and the sample changer.
Review the Setup > Configuration parameters and/or install 
missing pump (in particular, check the electrical connection 
between the pump and the sample changer).

A reagent addition is programmed in the sample preparation and 
no peristaltic pump is installed on the sample changer.
Review the Edit sequence parameters, parameter Sample prepara-
tion no. and/or install missing peristaltic pump (in particular, check 
the electrical connection between the pump and the sample 
changer).
For TitraMaster 85 users only, check and, if necessary, edit the 
sample preparation routine. 

Refer to "Sample preparation no.", page 224

.

SAC Sequence

Refer to "Working mode", page 254

.

Refer to "Sequence/SAC sequence", page 228

.

SAC switch Off/
On (SAC error)

Either the data transmission between sample changer and the 
workstation cannot be performed properly, in which case you should 
check the cable connections, or the measurement stopped due to a 
movement error. 

End the sequence by pressing key 

Stop

 on the sample changer 

keypad or key 

Stop

 of the workstation, and check that nothing is 

obstructing sample  changer movements.
