5. Do not let liquid accumulate near any opening. Make sure no liquid enters the dock.
6. Leave the Dock “wet” for at least 3 minutes.
7. With a fresh dry cloth (like a Kimwipe™) remove any residual moisture.
8. Allow the unit to dry for at least 10 minutes prior to re-connecting the power cord for the AC Adapter.
YDo not open the Dock lid during the cleaning procedure.
YDo not insert the cleaning wipe into the cassette slot. This may cause damage to the unit.
YDo not use solvents other than those recommended above.
YDo not let liquid accumulate in or around Dock vents.
YEnsure that the Dock lid is closed prior to cleaning.
Troubleshooting
The Accula™ Dock performs a number of different environmental tests before and during an assay run to
ensure that the conditions will allow a successful assay. If any of these tests fail, an error code is displayed
along with a brief notification of the type of failure. For example, if the Dock detects that a used Test
Cassette has been inserted, an error code will be displayed for several seconds:
ERROR! CODE 05
This screen will be followed by a brief message describing the error:
CASSETTE ALREADY
USED! REPLACE!
Listed below are the different error codes with an explanation of the causes and remedies for each.
Error
Code Displayed Error
Description Cause/Remedy
01 ALTITUDE OUT OF
VALID RANGE
The maximum operational altitude is 8000 feet (2438 meters) above sea level. The Dock will check the altitude on its
initial power up and not continue if the altitude range has been exceeded. To continue, the Dock must be re-located to an
altitude below 8000 feet.
02 TEMPERATURE OUT
OF VALID RANGE
DOCK: The valid ambient operating temperature range of the Dock is 59-86°F (15 – 30°C). This is checked during power
up and whenever the Dock is reset. Move the Dock to an acceptable ambient temperature environment and let it sit for at
least 5 minutes to acclimate.
03 TEMPERATURE OUT
OF VALID RANGE
CASSETTE: The valid operating temperature range of the Test Cassette is 59-86°F (15 – 30°C). This is checked as
soon as a Test Cassette is inserted into the Dock. Insure that the Test Cassette temperature is valid, and re-insert it into
theDock.
04 UNKNOWN TYPE
OF CASSETTE
This error is caused when the Test Cassette is not recognized by the Dock. The most likely reason for this would be that
the latest program revision has not been installed into the Dock. See section C: Operation, Re-programming the Dock
above.
It is also possible that the Test Cassette is not firmly seated into the Dock. In this case, remove the Test Cassette, wait a
couple of seconds, and re-insert it, pressing it firmly into position.
05 CASSETTE ALREADY
USED! REPLACE!
Each Test Cassette may only be used one time. Even if a test does not complete, that Test Cassette may not be used again
if the previous test was started or if the lid was closed.
06 CASS. NOT SEATED
PROPERLY. RESEAT
When inserting the Test Cassette into the Dock, it must be pressed firmly into place. If this error occurs, remove the Test
Cassette, wait a couple of seconds, and re-insert it, ensuring that the Test Cassette has come to a firm stop. If this error
continues after trying multiple Test Cassettes, contact your distributor to replace the Dock.
07 TEST ABORTED!
CASSETTE REMOVED
This error occurs when a Test Cassette has been removed before the assay test has been completed. To avoid this error
and guarantee accurate testing, the Test Cassette must not be removed until the test is complete. See section C. Running
the Assay above.
