status dialogue will display a cross against the calibration data icon and
against the calibration success icon.
Touching the dialogue will display a further error screen confirming the
calibration error number.
There are 6 error codes, as follows:
Error
Probable cause
Remedial action
1, 3, 4
Incorrect probe position
or malfunctioning probe
Reposition probe in motility standard
solution and repeat calibration.
Repeat calibration as necessary.
2
Signal level low
May indicate probe or internal fibre
damage. Check for fibre integrity
(see section 5.2).
5, 6
Vibration or probe/cable
movement
Ensure motility standard solution is
on a vibration-free surface and that
probe and cable movement is
eliminated. Repeat calibration as
necessary.
Table 6: Calibration error codes
Please refer to our support site for further details describing the calibration
procedure and failure modes.
CAUTION
It is essential that the calibration procedure is performed on a
stable and vibration-free surface. Any movement or vibration
during the calibration procedure - however slight - is likely to
result in a failed calibration.
CAUTION
The motility standard has a limited life. The expiry date is
indicated on the label. The solution must not be used beyond
this date, as it may produce misleading values due to the
gradual aggregation of the latex spheres.
CAUTION
Do not use the motility standard in ambient temperatures
below 15ºC or above 25ºC.
CAUTION
Store the motility standard within the temperature range 3 –
25ºC. DO NOT FREEZE the solution.
