How to troubleshoot SciCan Statim 5000 Laboratory Equipment that does not power ON?
If your SciCan Laboratory Equipment is not powering on, verify that it is plugged into a properly grounded outlet and that the power cord is firmly seated at the rear of the machine. Trying another circuit may also help. Power the unit off for 10 seconds and then power it back on. Check the condition of the line circuit breaker or fuse as well.
What to do if my SciCan Laboratory Equipment says 'REFILL RESERVOIR'?
If your SciCan Laboratory Equipment displays the message 'REFILL RESERVOIR' and won't start, it indicates that the water level in the reservoir is low. Simply refill the reservoir to resolve this issue.
What to do if my SciCan Statim 5000 says 'The flie or directory in the MSD is corrupted or unreadable'?
If the SciCan Laboratory Equipment displays that 'The flie or directory in the MSD is corrupted or unreadable', it's possible the MSD was unplugged during data writing. Reformat the MSD on your computer.
What does 'Missing lines of Data on MSD/FLASH' mean on my SciCan Laboratory Equipment?
If the SciCan Laboratory Equipment displays 'Missing lines of Data on MSD/FLASH', refer to the STATIM screen to confirm successful sterilization. Reset the Data Logger by unplugging its power, disconnecting the MSD, and waiting 10 seconds. Then, reconnect the power adapter and insert the MSD into the Data Logger. If the problem persists, contact the SciCan Service Center.
What to do when my SciCan Statim 5000 Laboratory Equipment says 'MSD/FLASH FULL'?
If the SciCan Laboratory Equipment displays 'MSD/FLASH FULL REPLACE MSD', export the data.
What does 'MSD NOT CONNECTED' mean on my SciCan Statim 5000 Laboratory Equipment?
If the SciCan Laboratory Equipment displays 'MSD NOT CONNECTED INSERT MSD/FLASH', check the serial cable and power connections. Ensure the lower red LED is lit. Verify the Mass Storage Device is properly inserted. Repeat the instructions for installing the SciCan Data Logger on your STATIM.
Why does my SciCan Statim 5000 Laboratory Equipment printer print blank pages?
If the SciCan Laboratory Equipment printer appears to work but nothing prints, ensure the paper is loaded correctly. The paper should leave the roll from the top, so the treated surface of the thermal paper contacts the thermal print head.
Why is my SciCan Statim 5000 Laboratory Equipment printer not working?
If the SciCan Laboratory Equipment printer isn't working, make sure the printer cable is securely connected to both the STATIM and the Statprinter. Ensure the printer is powered on. Power the unit off for 10 seconds, then back on.
What does 'PRINTER FAULT' mean on my SciCan Laboratory Equipment?
If the SciCan Laboratory Equipment printer displays 'PRINTER FAULT' on the LCD and isn't printing, check for a paper jam. If there is a jam, follow the paper removal procedures outlined in Section 7.2. Power the unit off for 10 seconds, then back on. If the message persists, follow the disassembly procedures in Section 7.2 for removing paper jams.
Why is there excessive steam coming from my SciCan Statim 5000?
If there is excessive steam coming from the front of the SciCan Laboratory Equipment, remove and reinsert the cassette, then try another cycle. If the leak persists, remove the cassette and inspect the cassette seal for misalignment or damage; replace the seal if needed. If the leak continues, turn the unit off, remove and unload the cassette, and contact your SciCan dealer.
