SamplePro assembles data, error messages and settings information in various history and/or log files that are invaluable for troubleshooting purposes. The settings and log files can be exported and viewed or sent to Bruker for troubleshoot- ing purposes. To export log files: Open the File menu Service and Settings Login with service user rights.
The size of the log file depends on the length of the run, but may be several megabytes! Opening such a file to investigate module errors or flags is more convenient at Bruker or SIAS site using a special tool, which generates useful information for systematic sup- port.
Troubleshooting Bruker may request these additional sub-device log files, if the cause of the error cannot be located using the main log files. 11.3 Error Information Dialogs The SamplePro hr-MAS program displays errors and warnings in different ways depend- ing on the error type. Typically the error dialog shows an error information description and also displays hints on how to remove the error cause.

Troubleshooting 11.3.4 Exchange Unit Sub-device Errors When an exchange unit error occurs, especially with the sensors and valves, first check the connections to the main board. This type of error is not typical, but quite possible on a unit with moving parts. Problem: Light barrier always detects a rotor, even there is no rotor in the EU.
Page 183
Troubleshooting Cause: The rotor barcode is inaccurate or missing. Solution: Check the rotor barcode with a handheld scanner. Problem: The rotor is not transferred, because the drum is not adjusted correctly. Solution: Disconnect the hose from the exchange unit and insert the adjustment rod. If there is resistance, or too much space, adjust the drum by loosening the screws (robot and robe).

Troubleshooting Go to section "Controller Board Check" on page 199. 11.6.2 Motor Moves in Negative Direction with Positive Values Problem According to the firmware „reverse“ flag status, the motor moves in the correct direction while initializing. But other movements are executed in the opposite direction. Diagnosis As the initializing has been executed properly, the controller board and motors are work- ing well.
Troubleshooting Figure 11.13 Motor connector and 6-pin header Plug a 6-pin header into the motor connector. Check the coil resistance of the motor between pin 1 and 6. It never must be 0 Ω or greater than 50 Ω. Check the resistance of the encoder between pin 2 and pin 5. It must be 3–4 MΩ. 11.6.4 Z-motor shakes when sensing for liquid Switch the device off.
Troubleshooting 11.6.5 Controller Board Check If a motor exchange does not bring any improvements, the fault must be on the control- ler board. 11.6.5.1 Controller Board Troubleshooting Switch the device off and then on again.
