Obviously incorrect
measured values
Fluctuating
measured values
Self test failed.
Connected printer
does not print
Cause Remedy
– Cell contaminated – Clean the cell
– Dilution set incorrectly – Set the dilution
– Selected method not suitable – Select different method
– Zero measurement incorrect – Perform zero measurement
– Blank value incorrect – Remeasure the blank value
– Cells that are not recognized (e.g.
some plastic cells) disturb the
AutoCheck measurement and, as
a consequence, falsify measured
values until the next AutoCheck is
carried out
– Use suitable cells (see section
7.1 and section 8.1)
Cause Remedy
– Cell shaft cover open – Close the cell shaft cover
Cause Remedy
– System test: Instrument defective – Return instrument to service
department
– Filter test: Instrument defective – Return instrument to service
department
– Lamp test: Lamp defective – Replace lamp (see section 5.1)
– Return instrument to service
department
– Wavelength calibration:
– Foreign particle in the cell shaft
– Instrument defective
– Clean the cell shaft
– Return instrument to service
department
Cause Remedy
– Printer not suitable – Connect a printer that can
interpret the printer control
