Code
Measurement channel light beam saturated (too much light)
0511-0516
Air reading reached 65535.
This error indicates that during a read or system test, one of the filters from 1 to 6 in absorbance
mode has saturated the measurement channel. The last number is the lambda table position
number.
Probable Causes:
• The monochromator mirror/grating has a defect.
• Absorbance analog PCB intermittently failed.
• Order-sorting filter wheel is jammed, not aligning the correct bandpass filter with the light
path, or the through hole is allowing white light to pass.
• Voltage to the lamp has increased due to failure of the lamp power supply, or the motor
power supply PCB sent the wrong voltage request to the lamp power supply.
0600 Filter gain out of range
Fail if PMT saturation is not met within 3 ms.
This error indicates that during fluorescence autocalibration, the gain was increased to an unsafe
level, and the PMT analog PCB did not reach saturation.
Probable Causes:
• The autocalibration jig is incorrectly placed in the carrier. The mirrors are not facing in the
correct direction.
• The EM autocalibration jig is not connected to the PMT analog PCB.
Time-Resolved function reference channel gain out of range for the selected
0601 - 0606
wavelength
Fail if reference signal > 40000 and gain = 1.
This error indicates that the absorbance reference channel gain for a specific wavelength during
Time-resolved readings is out of the range necessary to ensure the lambda performance to
specifications. The second to last number is the lambda table position number.
Probable Causes:
• The absorbance reference channel PCB is defective.
• Order-sorting filter wheel is jammed not aligning the correct bandpass filter with the light
path, or the through hole is lined up, allowing white light to pass.
• Monochromator is defective.
• Flash lamp, alignment, or Flash lamp power supply is defective.
• Lamp is too bright.
Time-Resolved function reference channel gain out of range for the selected
0610 - 0660
wavelength
Fail if Reference signal > 40000 and Gain = 1.
Note:
error codes.
This error indicates that the absorbance reference channel gain for a specific wavelength during
Time-Resolved readings is out of the range necessary to ensure the lambda performance to
specifications. The second to last number is the lambda table position number.
Probable Causes:
• The absorbance reference channel PCB is defective.
• Order-sorting filter wheel is jammed, not aligning the correct bandpass filter with the light
path, or the through hole is allowing white light to pass.
• Monochromator is defective.
• Flash lamp, alignment, or Flash lamp power supply is defective.
• Lamp is too bright.
