Error
Pan #xx dropped
Problem: The Autosampler CE has dropped a
pan or cannot pick it up (xx indicates
the sample tray number). This can be
caused by (1) incorrect calibration, (2)
bent or damaged gripper fingers, or (3)
a faulty Autosampler CE gripper
mechanism.
Solution: Try recalibrating the related
position(s); then repeat the task. If the
error occurs again, call a qualified
service representative.
Error
Pan #xx missing
Problem: A pan that the Autosampler CE is
attempting to load or unload is missing
from the DSC cell or the tray.
Solution: Whether the pan is missing from the
cell or the tray, return it to its proper
sample tray position, and return all
other pans in the cell to their proper
tray positions. Press Reset, then
select Start AS-Run. Enter the run
number of the failed run to retry the
task.
