Fatal SC error.
An unrecoverable sample changer error has occurred.
Call PerkinElmer Technical Service.
FRONT PIN JAM FWD
A Sample changer error has occurred. No action is required unless a message is
printed.
If this message appears on a printout, call PerkinElmer Technical Service.
FRONT PIN JAM REV.
A Sample changer error has occurred. No action is required unless a message is
printed.
If this message appears on a printout, call PerkinElmer Technical Service.
I (message column)
If this character appears in the Message column of a report, this sample has
been determined to be
Indeterminate in a Direct DPM assay. This means that the
system could not reliably determine the DPM value for this sample.
When a sample is designated as indeterminate, the DPM reported may be valid if
the sample is not heavily quenched. Check the tSIE value of the sample to
determine the level of quench. If the tSIE is greater than 200, the DPM reported is
most likely accurate, within statistical counting error. The accuracy is independent
of cocktail density variation, vial size or type, sample volume, color and chemical
quench.
Internal error.
A system error (such as file mismatch) has occurred on the instrument.
Perform a COLD START of the instrument. If the error message reappears, call
PerkinElmer Technical Service.
Instrument off line.
The instrument is not responding to the computer.
Check that the instrument power is on.
IPA error C-14 chi-square.
The Chi-Square test failed while counting the Carbon-14 source.
Rerun the Chi-Square test. If the test fails again, call PerkinElmer Technical
Service.
