RAM Error
Phenomena A data problem exists in RAM (random access memory).
Analysis cannot continue until the error is resolved.
Probable Cause CPU operation faulty due to sudden noise interference
Corrective Action 1) Move the source of external noise (such as radio, centrifuge, temperature
controlled water bath, etc.) well away from the instrument.
2) Turn the Main Unit power OFF, then ON again.
3) If the error persists, contact Sysmex service representative.
Seq. No. Overflow
Phenomena Indicates the analysis sequence number exceeds 65 000.
Probable Cause The analysis sequence number exceeds 65 000.
Corrective Action 1) Turn the Main Unit power OFF, then ON again. The sequential number will
be reset to 1.
2) Reanalyze the last sample, if necessary.
3) If the error persists, contact Sysmex service representative.
Stored Data Error
Phenomena A data problem exists in the data stored in the hard disk memory or BBURAM.
Analysis cannot continue until the error is resolved.
Probable Cause CPU operation faulty due to sudden noise interference
Corrective Action 1) Move the source of external noise (such as radio, centrifuge, temperature
controlled water bath, etc.) well away from the instrument.
2) Check the Stored Data using test program. Refer to
Section 3.8: Test
Memory
in this chapter.
3) If the error persists after the test program is completed, turn the Main Unit
power OFF, then ON again.
4) If the error still persists, contact Sysmex service representative.
