“Problem: Erratic absorbance readings. Likely cause: Contaminated cuvette holder or dirty optical windows.”
| Code | Meaning | Solution | |-------|---------|----------| | | Lamp failure or low intensity | Replace lamp; check fuse F1 on power board | | E-04 | Air bubble in cuvette | Re-prime; check tubing joints | | E-07 | Temperature out of range (34–40°C) | Wait for warm-up; check heater PTC thermistor | | E-11 | Wavelength motor error | Filter wheel stuck – remove dust; reinitialize ( F3+0 ) | | E-20 | Overflow – waste bottle full | Empty waste; reset sensor | | E-33 | Absorbance >3.0 OD | Dilute sample; clean cuvette (protein precipitate) | Results are an aid to diagnosis
A: Perform a calibration factor adjustment : Run a standard, then System → Calibration → Adjust factor = (expected/measured) × current factor.
