Cause
If there is a risk that
the sample tubes are
frozen, a warning is
displayed
Instrument is cooling
down after start using
ventilation, if it was
heated excessively
Interior of instrument is
cooler than 15 °C
(59 °F)
At very high internal
temperature, the air
cleaning of the filter
modules is disabled so
as to generate less
heat. internal temp =
target temp of cuvette
The cuvette is not
being heated
adequately 2 min after
sample change:
temp. = ((target temp.
of cuvette) –1 °C
(34 °F))
The warning occurs if
the electrode slope is
not in the range of
–55mV to –67mV
Filter modules soiled
The instrument is in
the Maintenance mode
or is switching to this
state
Amount of reagent has
dropped below
