Appendix C: Error Codes
BioTek Instruments, Inc.
Non-Fatal Errors
Non-fatal errors indicate non-fatal conditions that require attention. The last digit
of some error codes gives specific information related to the type of error. For
example, in the Home Sensor Initial Find Errors table that follows, the last digit
indicates which sensor was in error.
™
Note: The errors presented in the following tables are common to
multiple reader instruments, and may not all be applicable to any
single given reader.
Home Sensor Initial Find Errors (0100-0307)
These errors occur when the optical sensor for the axis in question never
electrically transitions from a high state to a low state. The causes can range from a
simple disconnected cable, obstructed axis (plate or shipping screw limiting
travel), or a defective sensor. The last digit of the error identifies the axis.
Code Description and Probable Causes:
0100 Abort Error
This error indicates that the read or task has been aborted.
0101
Abort Error
This error indicates that the read or task has been aborted. 0101 indicates that the abort was a
software abort.
Possible Causes
•
User aborted read from Gen5™ or KC4™.
•
User aborted from another serial interface.
0200 X-axis motor did not find the home opto sensor transition
This error indicates that a motor was not able to move to its “home” position as registered by
feedback from an optical sensor.
Note:
This error does not look for the mid or XY sensor. See 2A01 for mid sensor. See 2400 for
XY sensor.
Probable Causes:
•
X-axis rail is dirty where the nylon slider bushings are worn and causing too much friction,
or dirt in roller bearings causing bearings to jam.
•
The support pin on the carrier has moved, preventing it from properly sitting between the
two roller bearings on the bearing block.
•
Defective or broken optical sensor.
•
Defective Motor Controller PCB.
•
Carrier front support screws are not adjusted or are worn, causing the carrier to no longer
be level. The support pin is no longer inserting properly into the roller bearings.
•
X-axis PCB is not adequately adjusted to the right, and will not allow the flag to enter the
opto sensor enough to trip the sensor. Loosen the two screws and slide the PCB to the right
and retighten. Run the carrier autocal for both absorbance and fluorescence.
•
Carrier is not able to move into read chamber. An object may be obstructing the carrier’s
path.
