Troubleshooting Guide for the Sample Transport Assembly
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help you diagnose and repair
autosampler problems.
In general, autosampler problems can be divided into three categories.
1 Intermittent lock-ups with or without vial in the gripper fingers with error
messages
• motor overtemp (0 or 1 or 2 or 3)
• movement failed (0 or 1 or 2 or 3)
• missing vial
Many times the sampler is being used very heavily.
2 Jittery (shaky) movement in X and/or theta axes and/or when the needle
goes through the gripper arm into the vial with error messages
• motor overtemp (0 or 2)
• movement failed (0 or 2)
3 Poor alignment, seen during vial pickup and vial replacement and/or when
the needle hits the gripper arm with error messages
• motor overtemp (0 or 2 or 3)
• movement failed (0 or 2 or 3)
• missing vial
NOTE
Motor 0=X; 1=Z; 2=Theta; 3=Gripper.
