      Error 0900 can occur if the read chamber door has opened or closed relative to when the unit was powered on. Try closing the door and rebooting the reader to correct this. Also, check that the shrouds are installed and properly fastened, as electrical noise penetrating the measurement chamber can also cause this error.

      Error 0700 can be caused by electrical noise penetrating the measurement chamber, ambient light leak, or a missing/loose filter. Check that the shrouds are installed and properly fastened, the plate chamber door is closed, and the filter wheel doesn’t have empty positions.

      Error 0300 0301 can be caused by a loose belt or a loose motor pulley, which may cause the carrier to ignore movement instructions. Check the carrier: the lamp may be out or blocked by a faulty filter wheel. Also, the filter wheel might be missing or loose, or a loose filter may be impeding its movement, so check the filter wheel.
