Troubleshooting

Occasionally small faults may cause major problems. This chapter may help to solve the most common faults and explain why a specific problem occurs.
A lot of the problems or errors are due to a lack of maintenance. Remember that this instrument operates with a considerable amount of whole blood, virtually undiluted, stores it in a pipette for one hour and then cleans pipettes for re-use. Therefore, it is important to keep to the maintenance schedules. It is recommended that trained service personnel checks and applies service to the instrument at least once a year. Errors which are not explained in this section can usually not be solved by the operator. Refer to the Service manual for more information (available only in English).
