Temp Not Ready

Temp Not Ready Descriptions
During Cartridge Init
The Temp Not Ready during cartridge init will be set if the temperature is
outside the range of 37.0 ± 1.0°C.
The first calibration (full cal) will be run even if the Temp Not Ready
condition exists.
As soon as the temperature gets within the range 37 ± 1.0°C the Temp Not
Ready exception changes to the Temp Warning exception.
The measurement module temperature is outside the range 37 ± 0.5°C.
This exception does not indicate failure of the temperature control system.
Rather, it alerts the user that the instrument is in the process of warming up
and that no sample analysis requests will be accepted until normal
operating temperature is reached. This exception is generated if the
temperature control software was down for a few minutes or more.

Probable Cause and Corrective Action
The system detects that the temperature of the sensor module
is outside the acceptable measurement range. This message
can occur when a new measurement cartridge is warming up,
when the system is warming up after being shut down, and
when the door remains open for too long.
1. Wait until the system removes the message from the Status
screen before analyzing samples.
2. If the message appears again, record the message and call
for technical assistance.
Service Solutions
Perform service solutions only after all other corrective actions
have taken place
Ensure that the instrument and measurement cartridge have
reached normal operating temperature, then:
1. Check that the system location is not causing the ambient
temperature to be too high or too low.
2. View the events log for errors that may be causing the
problem.
3. If the message occurs frequently:
a. Replace the connector block.
b. Replace the cartridge interface assembly.
