bath, if connected).
2 Disconnect the line power cord.
3 Open the lid.
4 Remove the front cover as described to diagnose the cause of leak.
5 Dry the leak sensor using a tissue.
Possible Reasons for Leaks and Appropriate Action for Spilled Liquid from Other
Sources
• If you have spilled some liquid into the Agilent CE instrument, it is
sufficient to thoroughly clean and dry the Agilent CE instrument and the
leak sensor.
Leaking Water Bath Tubing Inside the Agilent CE Instrument
• Call Agilent Technologies.
• Do not use the Agilent CE instrument until Agilent Technologies has
repaired it.
Leaks in Replenishment Tubing or Valves

Reason Unknown
• If you can not trace the reason for the leak, call Agilent Technologies. There
may be an instrument problem.
The error will stay active for the ChemStation or Lab Advisor even after corrective action
