SEE VALVE MODULE VALVE ERROR This error indicates a valve malfunction. SST 4 TEST COMPGNENTS * Select TEST COMPONENTS from the DIAGNOSTIC 2 TEST FLUIDICS Tus —— TEST COMPONENTS: Perform the YAL.'E test. 1 Pune. 2 VALvE ‘S SAMPLER SWITCHES 4 Ooo swrTcH SENT READER When the test passes, proceed with EasyStat operation IF the test fails, remove the valve module as described under Replace ‘Components in Operating the Analyzer. Ifthe valve is not rotating freely, (usually due to the onalyzer being turned off with fluids in the flow path that dry up leaving solids), try and rotate the valve manually with a pair of pliers. Fill the syringe from the troubleshooting kit with 3mL of warm waler. Attach the blunt needle and the large tubing segment, Connect the syringe assembly to the fluid port on the top surface of the valve module. Begin to flush the water through the valve module. The water may exit through the air port (near the top surface or one of the reagent tubes IF there is no flow from any port, slowly turn the valve knob while maintaining pressure on the syringe. After successful flow through one port, refi the syringe with 3mL of warm water and slowly turn the knob until low comes from anoth- er portRS + Continue by flushing the other two ports with warm water + If flow from any port cannot be established, install a new valve module. + Flush each port with air by filing the syringe with air and fol lowing the above instructions + Remove the syringe from the valve module. + Dry off all valve module surfaces, reinstall the valve module and reassemble the analyzer. *+ Ifthe valve error remains, remove the valve module from the analyzer and tap it several times on a counter. Tap on all six maior sides of the valve module and then finally top the valve module on the bottom with the top oriented up. This process may dislodge any minor salt contamination that is interfering with the optical sensor of the valve module. Retest + Ifthese steps returned the valve module to operation, i is strongly advised that a replacement valve module be obtained ass the valve errors recently cured may return permanently. + For repeated valve failure, contact your EasyStat dealer.
