1. Double-sided unit:
Check that the carriers installed in the front and rear of
the system are the same type, i.e., 600 ml or 12 ml.
All units:
Review the program to confirm that the bath positions
are valid for the type of carriers installed.
• Example: A single-sided HMS/MS-100 has a total of six
(6) bath positions - a program directing the Robotic
Arm to go to bath eight (8) would be invalid.
• Example: A double-sided HMS/DS-50 has a total of 22
baths, but a unit with an MS-50 carrier in the front
and DS-100 carrier in the rear would have a total of 14
vessels. A program directing the Robotic Arm to go to
bath 16 would be invalid.
2. Power OFF, top cover removed.
Check that all plug-in connectors [J1, J2, J3, J7, J8, J9, J10,
J11, J12 and J13] are correctly aligned and fully seated.
3. Power OFF, top cover removed.
Test by substituting known good units for computer
board and test control module.
