ESR analyser unit system messages
The ESR analyser unit generates four main types of error messages;
• System messages.
• Test messages.
• System time-out messages.
• Error messages.
12.1 - System messages
During normal operation the following " System messages " may occur:
1.
Waiting tube
▪ If a filled pipette is at the measuring position before the elapsed time has finished and the operator
is ready to fill the next pipette, the Waiting tube message will be displayed.
▪ To continue the sample loading sequence the operator must wait until the pipette at the measuring
position has been measured.
2.
Reagents level empty message
▪ All reagent bottles or cubitainers have level detectors; the display shows an error that indicates
which reagent bottle(s) or cubitainer(s) is (are) empty.
▪ The expiry date of the reagent is exceeded or the packaging is opened longer than three months.
▪ Prepare new reagent as described in section
Reagents preparation
3.
"Waste bottle full" message or "No waste bottle" message
▪ The waste container also has a level detector. If a waste error is shown on the display, the Starrsed
RS will stop filling and cleaning pipettes until a new or empty container has been installed.
▪ Empty and/or replace waste container and press Clear error.
4.
Fatal separator error
▪ The Separator container has a level detector. If the " -> " message is indicated on the display, the
ESR analyser unit will stop the "rinse" cycle until the separator is empty.
▪ The cause of this problem can be foam or the waste pump is not working. The ESR analyser unit
will continue with the measurement and sends the ESR results on time, but the rinse and fill
sequences are stopped until the error is solved.
12.2 - Test messages
During the start-up sequence all the positioning sensors are tested, if incorrect the instrument will generate
a Test message ,
