is free of obstruction
Head stalled
Fume system blocked

replace rack on hook
This warning message indicates that mains power has failed. It will only appear if
a UPS is fitted. Refer to page 15 for further information.
The power supply has failed and must be serviced.
The rack transfer arm (head) has stalled during operation. The most likely causes
of this are:
1. Reagent container not properly seated
2. Handle not properly positioned
3. Lid left on reagent container, or
4. Slide rack bent
The instrument will attempt to restart staining once the problem is rectified.
Even after attempting to restart staining the head is still unable to move freely.
Remove any obstructions and recommence staining or contact your service
agent if the problem persists.
The outlet duct at the rear of the instrument is blocked. Remove the blockage.
The oven has failed and must be serviced. The instrument is still operational at all
other stations but slide drying must be performed outside the AutoStainer
The most likely cause of this message is a blockage in the oven. Check that the
slot at the base of the oven is not obstructed.
The rack might have disengaged from the hook. Rectify the cause of the problem
(e.g. reagent container not properly seated) and replace rack on hook.
