Clean the Reagent Bar Code Reader Window
The reagent Bar Code Readers are located behind each Reagent Supply
Center. The Bar Code Readers scan the bar codes using a laser beam
directed through a glass window located at the back of each Reagent
Supply Center. The window protects the reader from any liquid (water or
reagent) that might be splashed by the Reagent Supply Center pipetting
operations.
Any residue impairs the reader from operating at its highest efficiency.
Clean the windows as needed.
Refer to As Needed Maintenance Procedures in Section 9, Service and
Maintenance of the AEROSET System Operations Manual for more
information on cleaning the reagent Bar Code Reader window.
Clean Cuvettes
A cuvette may become dirty due to build-up over time with usage or if
the water is allowed to dry in the cuvettes repeatedly. The Cuvette Wash
Procedure during a run, or during START UP or SHUTDOWN may not
be able to completely clean the cuvette. If any of the following errors
occur and are isolated to specific cuvettes, it may be necessary to
manually clean the affected cuvette(s).
• RL%, A#0, A#1, or A#2 Result Error Codes for samples without
increased concentration
• Sample results are low or high
NOTE: The cuvette number used for measurement is displayed
in the Reaction Graph screen.
Refer to As Needed Maintenance Procedures in Section 9, Service and
Maintenance of the AEROSET System Operations Manual for more
