9.0 ERROR MESSAGES
9.1 Lid Error
If the lid lock fails while the Genomax is running, the unit
will stop running and the screen will display a “LID
OPEN” message. The timer will maintain the time
remaining in the run. To restart, close the lid and press
the green RESUME button to finish the run. To end the
run and reset the timer, press the red STOP button. The
“LID OPEN” message will disappear once the lid is closed.
9.2 Rate Error
If a “RATE ERROR” message appears on the screen, this indicates the Genomax is not
operating within an acceptable range of the set rate. Dynamic loads greater than 2 lb can
create a rate error. When stacking 4 or 6 titer plates, do not add more than five 4 mm steel
balls to a single titer plate well. Press the red STOP button to discontinue operation. Call our
service technician at 732-623-0465 for assistance.
10.0 MAINTENANCE
This unit has been designed to provide trouble-free operation over a long period of time. To
assure proper performance, the most important factor is cleanliness. Any spills should be wiped
up immediately.
The cabinet is made primarily of painted aluminum. The front panel is plastic. The interior as
well as the exterior surfaces of the unit are designed to be easily cleaned in case of a sample
spill. To maintain the overall appearance of the unit, occasionally wipe the exterior and interior
of the unit with a mild window cleaner or similar product (use a soft non-abrasive cotton cloth).
There is a raised “dam” around the clamp shaft to keep spilled liquid from dripping onto the
motor or drive mechanism; however, any spills should be cleaned up immediately. It is never a
good idea to leave the cabinet dirty. Sample contamination and/or equipment damage can
result.
