Missing Wash Vial

Missing Wash Vial
The wash vial programmed in the method was not found.
When the gripper arm picks a vial out of the sample tray, the processor
monitors the gripper motor encoder. If a vial is present, the closing of the
gripper fingers is limited by the vial. However, if no vial is present, the gripper
fingers close too far. This is sensed by the processor (encoder position),
causing the error message to be generated.
• No wash vial in the position defined in the method.
❏ Install the wash vial in the correct position, or edit the method accordingly.
