CAUSE: NO SOLUTION IN CONTAINER OR SIMULATOR WAS POWERED UP WITHOUT TOP HOUSING ATTACHED TO CONTAINER. REMEDY: TURN OFF THE SIMULATOR, FILL WITH SOLUTION AND REASSEMBLE.

CAUSE: THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR IS OPEN OR SHORTED. COMPUTER IS RECEIVING NO SIGNAL TO ALLOW IT TO CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE. REMEDY: THIS CAN’T BE REMEDIED IN THE FIELD. REQUIRES SERVICE *

CAUSE: THE ELECTRONICS NEED TO BE RESET. REMEDY: TURN OFF, WAIT 3-5 SECONDS, THEN TURN ON. IF THE SIMULATOR REPEATS THIS ERROR CODE. CALL FOR ASSISTANCE *

CAUSE:

TEMPERATURE OF THE SOLUTION IS ABOVE 34.2C OR RFI HAS BEEN DETECTED. REMEDY: REMOVE THE SOURCE OF THE INTERFERENCE OR CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE SIMULATOR. RESET THE SIMULATOR.

CAUSE:

ELECTRONICS NEED TO BE RESET. REMEDY: RESET THE SIMULATOR.

CAUSE: EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME TO OBTAIN OPERATING TEMPERATURE (+15 MINUTES). THE HEATING ELEMENT MAYBE OPEN OR THE SOLUTION WAS TOO COLD. REMEDY: RESET THE SIMULATOR. IF THE SIMULATOR DOES NOT HEAT, THE HEATING ELEMENT MAY BE DEFECTIVE. REQUIRES SERVICE *
