To troubleshoot the "Reader Failed to acknowledge request" error on the Biotek Synergy HT when connected to ELx800 with Gen5 3.12, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the reader is connected to the power supply and turned on.
2. Verify the communication cable is firmly attached to both the reader and the computer.
3. Confirm the correct Reader Type is selected in Gen5.
4. Try using a different COM port.
5. If using a USB cable, ensure the driver software is installed.

If the issue persists, contact BioTek’s Technical Assistance Center.
