What does error code E:08, E:09 or E:10 mean on Leica TP1020 Laboratory Equipment?
If your Leica Laboratory Equipment shows error code "E:08" (Wax bath 1), "E:09" (Wax bath 2), or "E:10" (Wax bath 3), it could be due to several reasons: the wax bath is not connected, the excess temperature switch-off mechanism has been triggered, the wax bath is defective, or the control unit is defective. Here are a few things you can try: * Ensure the wax bath is properly connected. * Disconnect the wax bath connection plug from the socket at the rear of the instrument, allow the wax bath to cool down, and then reconnect it. If the yellow pilot lamp lights up, you can continue using the wax bath. * Exchange the wax bath.
What to do if Leica TP1020 Laboratory Equipment shows error code E:03, E:04, or E:05?
If your Leica Laboratory Equipment displays error code "E:03", "E:04", or "E:05", this indicates a drive malfunction. Try switching the main switch off and then back on, and try again.
What does error code E:11 mean on Leica TP1020?
If your Leica Laboratory Equipment displays error code "E:11", this indicates a loss of process data. Acknowledge the error message by pressing any key; the process will be canceled with an ABORT message. Restart the processing cycle.
What does error code E:12 mean on Leica Laboratory Equipment?
If your Leica Laboratory Equipment displays error code "E:12", it means there has been a loss of program settings. To resolve this, acknowledge the error message by pressing any key, which will cancel the process and display an ABORT message. Then, restart the processing cycle.
What to do if Leica TP1020 Laboratory Equipment displays warning code W:04, W:05, or W:06?
If your Leica Laboratory Equipment displays warning code "W:04", "W:05", or "W:06" when starting an automatic processing cycle, it means that the total program duration until the basket reaches the first wax bath is less than 8 hours, and the paraffin in stations 10/11/12 might still be solid. To address this: * Check if there is enough time for the paraffin to liquefy completely before the basket arrives at the wax bath. * If not, fill the wax bath with molten paraffin. To override the warning code, press the Key and Start buttons simultaneously.
What does warning code W:01, W:02, or W:03 mean on Leica Laboratory Equipment?
If your Leica Laboratory Equipment displays warning code "W:01", "W:02", or "W:03" in manual processing mode, it indicates that the paraffin in wax bath stations 10/11/12 is still solid. Here’s how to proceed: * Press any key to quit the warning code. * Check if the paraffin is molten. * If the paraffin is molten, pause the automatic processing cycle and, in manual processing mode, simultaneously press the Key and the corresponding Arrow key to lower or lift the basket in or out of the wax bath.
