Electronic defect
The instrument sensors detects too
much ambient light.
Insert the adapter Z into cell
compartment #2.
Press OK.
Dilute the sample or select appropriate
color scale.
Dilute the sample and repeat the

Remove the cuvette/sample cell from
the cell compartment.
Press OK.
Contact the manufacturer or a sales
representative and indicate the error

No evaluation!
Over measuring range
Under measuring range
Error in the test database / user
database
The measured absorbance is above the
calibration range of the test
The measured absorbance is below the
calibration range of the test
Check the programming
Contact the manufacturer or a sales
representative
Dilute the sample and repeat the
measurement
If possible, select a test with a lower
measurement range or use a
cuvette/sample cell with a longer path
