CASY TT Operator‘s Guide

 Setting the Measuring Range and the Cursor Positions

Empty Storage container

Should the CASY System fail to completely replenish the fluid system during a 

CLEAN

 cycle, the 

following error message appears:

ERROR SCREEN      

TT-2AB-9999   15.04.2009  10:15

     Error-Code:  PR-8
     Liquid System could not be filled

     during Clean!
     Please check, that there is enough

     CASYton in the storage container.

     Further information will be

     provided by your manual.

PRESS ENTER TO CONFIRM OR PRINT TO GET A HARDCOPY

PRESS CLEAN TO FLUSH THE LIQUID SYSTEM.

Ensure that there is sufficient CASY ton in the storage container (right-hand container). Replenish 
the CASY ton, if necessary, and run another 

CLEAN

 cycle. If the error message reappears even when 

the storage container is sufficiently full, the pressure system may be malfunctioning or the internal 
tube system is blocked. In this case, contact your OLS OMNI Life Science GmbH & Co. KG- instru-
ment representative.

6.5   Setting the Measuring Range and the Cursor Positions

Accurate measuring results rely on the measuring range and cursor positions being correctly 
adjusted. It is particularly important for the reproducibility and comparability of the data, that all 
samples to be compared are measured using identical settings. It is generally advisable to specify 
the measuring range and the cursor positions for a particular cell type or a certain application after 
the appropriate preliminary tests have been performed in a setup. For the required preliminary 
tests, the cursors can be controlled manually using the control panel keys.

Depending on your specific application, different settings may be required. It is usually straightforward 
to choose the correct setting based on the displayed size distribution. Examples for setting up major 
applications such as setting up animal cell lines, bacteria and yeast can be found on www.cellcount-
ing.de. If you have any questions regarding the initial settings for your application please visit our 
Online Technical Support Site at:
