8 Troubleshooting Guide
Warning: Do not use the instrument if it appears that it does not function properly.
8.1 Limitations
Control LEDs
The orange control LED (light-emitting diode) flashes when a slot is heating up
to the programmed target temperature. Refer to Section 6.3 for information.
The LED turns to a continuous orange color when the slot reaches the target
temperature. However, the continuous orange LED may falsely indicate that a
slot is at the target temperature under the following conditions:
• If you remove the thermal microplate holder and then reinsert it into the slot
during the initial preheating of the slot.
• If the programmed target temperature is lower than the actual temperature
of the slot.
Incubator slot preheating
When you power on the instrument, heating of the incubator slots does not
occur automatically. You must turn the temperature function on (Preheating)
after you have powered on the instrument. Refer to Section 6.5.
Module incubation temperature
All slots within a module will be heated to the same temperature. The slots
within a module are kept at the temperature that is programmed into the first
started processing protocol in the module. If another temperature is
programmed to another slot in the same module, the program cannot be
started. The message
PROHIBITED OPERATION
will display. Refer to Section 6.4.3.
Module shake speed
All slots within a module will shake at the same speed. The slots within a
module shake at the speed that is programmed into the most recently started
processing protocol. Refer to Section 8.2.4.
Do not place the microplate holder in or remove it from the instrument while
the instrument is shaking. This may damage the shaking mechanism.
8.2 Warnings and cautions
8.2.1 Installation
When unpacking the instrument, it is recommended two people lift the
instrument together, taking proper precautions to avoid injury.
Do not touch or loosen any screws or parts other than those specially
designated in the instructions. Doing so might cause misalignment and will
invalidate the instrument warranty.
Do not operate the instrument in an environment where potentially damaging
liquids or gases are present.
