TROUBLESHOOTING
6.8 Revised 5/19/2010
For rear access, use a 5/32” (4mm) Allen wrench to turn
the two latches, and swing the doors open. (This tool is
included in the AutoTEC accessory kit).
To access the base molds from the front, use the Allen
wrench to release the two door latches (Figure 6-C).
Figure 6-C: Front Door Latch
The door may then be opened (Figure 6-D):
Figure 6-D: Front Door Open
Once access is complete and the doors are closed and
latched, touching CONTINUE or OK in the dialog will
return the system to normal operation.
If any robotic part was moved while the instrument was
open, the system will automatically go to its original
configuration and then take up embedding where it left off.
Disabling Base Molds
If the instrument was accessed but a block is still detected
in the base mold, the system will prompt the operator to
remove the block again. (Figure 6-A) After three
unsuccessful attempts to remove the block, the system
will disable the base mold in question.
NOTE: Only users with a service-level log in can re-enable
a base mold once it is disabled.
Disabling a base mold slows throughput, since blocks
must be cooled for the same amount of time regardless of
how many base molds are in operation. Disabled base
molds should be replaced and serviced as soon as
possible.
Disabled Base Molds
A disabled base mold appears on-screen without contents,
as seen in figure 6-E.

Disabling More Than Three Base Molds
NOTE: The occurrence of this situation is very unlikely.
The instrument will still run with four or up to seven base
molds disabled; if three base molds are disabled and the
operator attempts to disable a fourth, a message will
appear (Figure 6-F) to warn the operator that the system
throughput will slow down. Do not attempt to load more
magazines.
