Code
Saturation transition failed in the Monochromator motor movement (light beam
0305
never found)
During the instrument initialization, the monochromator is homed by rotating the
monochromator mirror until the white light (full light) is detected. This requires a fully
functional Flash lamp/detection system.
Probable Causes:
• Defective Analog PCB.
• Defective Flash Lamp and or Flash Lamp Power Supply. (Inconsistent flashes; high
probability.)
• Defective motor/Power PCB.
• Defective monochromator (low probability).
• Order sorting filter wheel motor failed due to the bearings. The filter wheel does not move
to the open hold, allowing the monochromator to find home.
Probe height (Z) axis did not find home
0306
(This error code indicates old basecode. Recommend upgrading.)
Probable Causes:
• The optical flag is not adjusted properly.
• The Z-axis lead screw is no longer glued to the motor shaft.
• The upper fiber bundle is hitting the top of the shroud due to not being properly tied
down.
Probe changer motor did not find home
0307
(This error code indicates old basecode. Recommend upgrading.)
Probable Causes:
• An obstruction is preventing the motor from moving.
• The motor and/or motor drive circuit is defective.
• The sensor and/or sensor circuit defective.

Home Sensor Verification Errors (0400-0409)

These errors occur when the optical sensor is not found again within a range of
where it was last found. The causes can range from loose transmission components
to marginal adjustments. The last digit of the error identifies the axis in question.
Code
Carrier X-axis failed positional verify
0400
X-axis motor failed to get to the same position when moved a known number of steps from the
home position and back.
Probable Causes:
• The optical trigger flag has moved or is loose.
• Dirty rail, nylon bushings, or bearings.
• Carrier support pin is out of adjustment.
• Reference Field Change Notice L0030.
