60 Agilent 1200 Series Autosampler Reference Manual
3 Troubleshooting and Test Functions
Remote Timeout
A not-ready condition is still present on the remote input.
When an analysis is started, the system expects all not-ready conditions (e.g. a
not-ready condition during detector balance) to switch to run conditions
within one minute of starting the analysis. If a not-ready condition is still
present on the remote line after one minute the error message is generated.
Probable Causes
• Not-ready condition in one of the instruments connected to the remote line.
• Defective remote cable.
• Defective components in the instrument showing the not-ready condition.
Suggested Actions
✔ Ensure the instrument showing the not-ready condition is installed
correctly, and is set up correctly for analysis.
✔ Exchange the remote cable.
✔ Check the instrument for defects (refer to the instrument’s reference
documentation).
