2. Errors are appended to measurement results.
During an ISE measurement, the checks listed in the table below are performed.
If there is a problem with a measurement value, an error code from E1 through E8 is appended to the measurement
result.
Check Menu Description
Drift check Checking abnormal time course (voltage) during testing
Impedance check Checking the slide impedance after completing a test
Over range check Checking test result is within the measurement range
Code Description
E1 Drift error
E2 Impedance error
E3 Outside of the measurement range (This is not an analyzer malfunction.)
E4 Drift error and impedance error
E5 Impedance error and outside of the measurement range
E6 Drift error and outside of the measurement range
E7 Drift error, impedance error, and outside of the measurement range
E8 Impossible measurement
When the error code is not E3.
The sample or reference fluid may have not been sufficiently absorbed into the slide. Perform the following troubleshooting
steps.
1. Insure proper handling of reference fluid.
2. Inspect the sampler O-ring. Section 6.6.1
3. Clean the spotting part and ISE probe unit. Section 6.3.2
4. Make sure that the analyzer can measure correctly by running a quality control on an electrolyte slide.
NOTE: If the error occurs again, please contact Heska Technical Support Services for assistance.
When the error code is E3.
There is no problem with the analyzer. The concentration of the sample is outside of the measurement range.
3. Other errors.
Error Code Error Message Error Condition Troubleshooting
W0091 Unacceptable ISE test
ISE tests cannot run. Turn the power SW OFF
and ON. Rerun the tests from the beginning.
An ISE measurement error
has occurred, and ISE
measurement cannot be
started.
Check ISE measurement errors that occurred
before this error, and then carry out the
corresponding troubleshooting. After
troubleshooting, turn the power of the device
on and off, and then start measurement again
from the beginning.
W0092 Unacceptable manual ISE spotting test
ISE test cannot be done in this test mode. Set
a measurable slide and redo the test from the
beginning.
There was an attempt to
measure an ISE slide using
manual sample application
measurement.
Measure an ISE slide using automatic sample
application.
