Interlock Failure Symptoms
If an interlock fails, do not operate the GenePix 4300A/4400A
Microarray Scanner. Shut down the scanner and contact Molecular
Devices Technical Support immediately.
The following are typical symptoms of an interlock failure.
• The mirror and lens assembly keep moving below the slide after
the door is opened.
• The blue Scanning LED on the front of the scanner does not
extinguish when the slide door is open.
• The GenePix Pro Software does not recognize the scanner or the
slide.
• You can no longer hear the distinctive metal-on-metal sound
that the mechanical interlock makes when it falls into place. This
occurs when the slide loading door has opened about one
quarter inch.
Fuses
If the GenePix 4300A/4400A Microarray Scanner does not start up, a
fuse may no longer be functioning. If you suspect a fuse has stopped
functioning, contact Molecular Devices Technical Support.
WARNING! Laser Hazard. Never operate the scanner if you
suspect an interlock has failed. Doing so exposes the user to
laser radiation.
