Error Message

Cause/Possible Action

 

 

Adjust volume too small

In DISPENSE, you have, you have entered a value for “Final

 

vol.” that is too small.

 

“Final vol.” > volume of biggest fraction dispensed.

 

 

Asp flow missing

Re-enter Method, supplying the missing parameter, when

 

prompted to do so (see DILUTE, DISPENSE, PIPETTE, and

 

MIX tasks).

 

 

Diluent volume missing

Re-enter Method, supplying the missing parameter, when

 

prompted to do so (see DILUTE task).

 

 

Disp flow missing

Re-enter Method, supplying the missing parameter, when

 

prompted to do so (see DILUTE, DISPENSE, PIPETTE, and

 

MIX tasks).

 

 

DISP task in wrong place

Within a Method, DISPENSE must follow DILUTE or MIX.

 

To DISPENSE before DILUTE you should create a Method file

 

containing only the DISPENSE task.

 

 

Incorrect flow rates

Use flow rates that correspond to the configured syringe

 

size(s); refer to page 5-31.

 

 

Left syr life exhausted!

For the Dual-syringe model: piston of left-hand syringe may

 

need replacing.

 

 

LINK method not allowed!

You can’t link files that are already linked.

 

 

Max sample vol. reached

In DILUTE UNKNOWN, you need a larger syringe/transfer-

 

tubing to measure volumes greater than the maximum

 

reached with the existing configuration.

 

 

Mechanical problem: Help

Occurs when the valve or a syringe jams; switch off and

 

correct the problem:

 

the syringe and/or valve need servicing (clean or change).

 

 

Method does not exist!

First, you must create the Method to be linked, then enter its

 

file number using LINK.

 

 

Method used in link file

You have attempted to delete a Method number that has been

 

assigned in LINK. You must delete the file containing LINK,

 

before deleting the Method.

 

 

Method xxx is locked

Unlock Method file, to continue with this action.

 

 

Mix volume is missing

Re-enter Method, supplying the missing parameter, when

 

prompted to do so (see MIX task).

 

 

Nb mixes is missing

Re-enter Method, supplying the missing parameter, when

 

prompted to do so (see MIX task).

 

 

No room to copy meth xxx

You need to free up space by deleting one or more Methods.

 

 

Not enough memory!

Reduce the size and/or number of stored Method files.
