Troubleshooting
SpectraMax GEMINI EM Operator’s Manual 5-3
This chapter lists error codes that may occur while using the instrument, fol-
lowed by their most likely causes and remedies. Maintenance procedures are
described in Chapter 4. For problems with the SpectraMax GEMINI EM that
are not listed here, in the U.S., contact Molecular Devices Technical Services
group at 1-800-635-5577; elsewhere, call your local representative.
It is your responsibility to decontaminate the instrument,
as well as any accessories, before requesting service by Molecular
Devices representatives and before returning the instrument or any
components to Molecular Devices Corporation.
Error Codes
and
Resolutions
If a problem occurs during operation that causes an unrecoverable (fatal)
error, the instrument will stop and an error code number will be shown in the
display on the front panel. Some errors are caused by equipment malfunction
and others result from incorrect input. Some error codes are listed in Table 5.1,
along with their probable causes and remedies. If any of the following error
codes appear on the LCD display, cycle the power to the instrument (turn
power off and then on again after a few seconds). If the error message still
appears and no speci
fi c note appears next to that error message, call Molecu-
lar Devices Technical Support: in the United States and Canada, call (800) 635-
5577; elsewhere call your local Molecular Devices representative for assis-
tance.
