5. Operation
Reagent warnings
If the RMS is enabled, the instrument will give
you warning messages when reagents have
been used for too long.
Warning messages for normal reagents are
given based on up to 3 criteria; warning mes-
sages for paraffin wax on up to 6 criteria.
The warning messages are displayed at the
end of a cleaning cycle. From there, you can
go directly to the REAGENT STATUS screen.
In addition, warning messages (on a yellow
background) are displayed in the program
start screens.
Criteria for warning messages
For normal reagents, the following warning cri-
teria apply:
• number of blocks processed
• number of programs carried out
• number of day lapsed
since the reagent has last been changed.
For paraffin wax, three additional criteria can
be applied:
• number of blocks processed
• number of programs carried out
• number of days lapsed
since the wax has last been cleaned.
