Initialization Failed
The sampler failed to complete initialization correctly.
The sampler initialization procedure moves the needle arm and transport
assembly to their home positions in a predefined routine. During
initialization, the processor monitors the position sensors and motor encoders
to check for correct movement. If one or more of the movements is not
successful, or is not detected, the error message is generated.
Probable Causes
• Side door not installed correctly.
• Sample transport/sampling unit not aligned correctly
• Mechanical obstruction.
• Defective sampling unit flex board.
• Defective transport assembly flex board.
• Defective sampling unit motor.
• Defective MTP board.
Suggested Actions
✔ Check if the side door is installed correctly.
✔ Check if the magnet is in place in the side door.
✔ Do an auto-alignment
✔ Ensure unobstructed movement of the transport assembly.
✔ Exchange the defective sampling unit motor.
✔ Exchange the sample transport assembly.
