Code Description and Probable Causes
Carrier not homed in the x-axis.
1300
This error is only seen if an error 0200 is ignored. See the probable causes for 0200.
1301 Order sorting (bandpass) filter wheel not homed.
This error is only seen if an error 0201 is ignored. See the probable causes for 0201.
1302 Carrier not homed in the y-axis.
This error is only seen if an error 0202 is ignored. See the probable causes for 0202.
Temperature zone out of range (the last digit is the zone number failing).
1501-
1504
Thermistor failed – resistance out of range (the last digit is the zone number).
1511-
1514
1520 A/D converter failed; incubator PCB defective.
1600 Computer control assay definition error.
This error will occur for the following definitions: Well set, Wave scan, Checksum at the
protocol sent from computer, Plate geometry, Filter(s), Features available, Mono
Kinetic interval too short for selected options, or kinetic interval = 0.
1700
This error indicates that the kinetic interval in the current assay is too short. Increase the
kinetic interval.
1900 Memory allocation failed.
This error is typically used only for software development purposes. If it occurs, however,
try turning the instrument off and then on again after a wait of 30 seconds. If the error
persists, contact BioTek Technical Support.
A/D calibration standby signal on the analog board never went low, or A/D
1C00
calibration standby line went low but never transitioned to a high.
This error indicates there is a failure with the absorbance analog board initialization, or the
cable to the PCB is defective.
2000 Barcode scanner did not see 10 characters from barcode.
• Barcode positioned incorrectly on plate.
• Insufficient carbon black in barcode label.
• Barcode label not in Code 39 format.
2100 Invalid parameter value selected.
This error can occur only during computer control, indicating that one of the following
invalid assay configurations was sent to the instrument:
• Temperature out of range
• Wavelength not in ASCII format
• Incorrect plate geometry
• Incorrect row range or column range selected
• Kinetic interval = 0
• Incorrect range or order selected for start wavelength / end wavelength
• Incorrect well selected for scanning
2400 Middle sensor position incorrect.
This error occurs when homing to the middle sensor and the optical flag is in a different
position since the last autocalibration was performed.
2500 Sweep mode read missed well location; last digit is the motor number.
2502
2800- Motor currently in use; last digit indicates motor.
