6.2 Error causes and remedies
Instrument does not
react to keystroke
Acoustic signal on
keystroke
Measuring range
undercut or
exceeded
Note
In Concentration mode you can display the current absorbance value as
an additional information ([Setup]/Display absorbance, see also section
4.5.6).
Self-test does not
start.
The instrument
displays
Please remove cell
Cause Remedy
– Software error
– Operating condition undefined or
EMC load unallowed
– Processor reset:
Press the <ON/OFF> and
<ESC> key simultaneously.
Cause Remedy
– The key does not have any
function in the current operating
state
– Press a different key
Cause Remedy
– Method not suitable – Select method with suitable
measuring range
– Dilute the sample
Cause Remedy
– Cell is inserted – Remove the cell
– Press the <START·ENTER> key.
– Foreign object is in the cell shaft – Remove foreign object
– Press the <START·ENTER> key.
– The instrument has to carry out an
automatic balancing process for
the rectangular cell recognition
– Press the <START·ENTER> key.
– The rectangular cell shaft is con-
taminated
– Clean the cell shaft
– Restart the instrument
– If necessary, confirm the Please
remove cell message with
<START·ENTER>.
– Instrument defective – Return instrument to service
