Agilent 1200 Series Autosampler Reference Manual 79
Troubleshooting and Test Functions 3
Initialization with Vial
The autosampler attempted to initialize with a vial still in the gripper.
During initialization, the autosampler checks correct operation of the gripper
by closing and opening the gripper fingers while monitoring the motor
encoder. If a vial is still in the gripper when initialization is started, the
gripper fingers cannot close causing the error message to be generated.
Probable Causes
• Vial still in gripper.
Suggested Actions
✔ Remove the vial using the “Release Vial” function in the user interface.
Reinitialize the autosampler.
