to halt sample tube carriers at specific locations. If a sensor is out of adjustment, the
stopper can engage as a sample tube carrier passes by, pinching the sample tube carrier
and causing a jam. When a sample tube carrier becomes jammed, the system generates an
error message, sounds an alarm and flashes a warning beacon.
Caution
Before you release a jammed sample tube carrier, confirm that the carrier is jammed:
gently push the carrier in the opposite direction that the conveyor belt is moving. If
the carrier moves freely up the track, it is not jammed. Do not use this procedure.
Refer to the following Note for corrective action.
Note
If the sample tube carrier moves up the track, check the sensor number nearest the
stopped sample tube carrier and refer to the corresponding Error Code table to resolve
the error. Contact your Beckman Coulter representative for assistance.
Jammed Sample Tube Carrier Error Recovery
To recover from a jammed sample tube carrier error, follow this procedure.
1
Select Mute on the control panel to silence the alarm.
2
If the tube is uncapped, remove the sample tube from the carrier.
3
Gently push the sample tube carrier in the direction that the belt is moving until it
“clicks” free.
Important
Use only moderate force to move a jammed tube carrier. Excessive pressure can
damage the system.
4
Replace the sample tube into the carrier (if necessary) and select Restart to resume
routine operation.
Bypass a Module Procedure
When you bypass a module, conveyor belts move sample tube carriers past the module and
through the system. You can use this procedure to bypass any module of the system.
Caution
If you bypass a module with an RFID reader, it can cause other errors for the sample
tubes that bypass the module.
