7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Alarm List

This is an explanation of the alarm levels (S.Stop / R.Stop, L.Stop, A.Stop / P. Stop, Stop, E. Stop) in the alarm list.
1. S. Stop (Sampling Stop)
Stops rotation of sample disk and aspirating movement of pipetting from sample disk.
(Rack Sampler type: R.Stop (Rack Stop))
2. L.Stop (Line Stop: only Rack sampler type)
Stop the sampler line in the instrument.
3. P. Stop (Partial Stop)
Stops the mechanism that is the cause of the trouble, and the others move generally operation.
( Rack Sampler type: A.Stop (Analyzer Stop )
4. Stop
System removes Stand-by after, it finished movement of all mechanisms in this cycle when happen trouble.
5. E. Stop
Cuts off DC 24 V power supply and all mechanisms stop moving.

7.2 Data Alarm List
“ Level ” shows level of the alarm concerned; the lower the level number, the more serious the alarm.
“ No Result ” indicates whether no data is available for a test as a result of the alarm occurring.
“ System Block ” indicates whether the data for the test is blocked for the system as a result of the alarm occurring.
Data alarms are handled according to the following rules.

1. It is added alarm which is detected the fastest (except the temperature alarm).
2. It is added alarm which is detected higher and the fastest when it detected the temperature and the others.
3. Data which is not blocked can be blocked or released by the user.
Data which is blocked or released by user is added independently in describe above (1, 2).
4. Data which without a data alarm can be blocked by the user. Then “block” alarm is added to the data.
