Since the problem is unrelated to the TOC-V main unit, remove the ASI-V from the main unit, and perform operations using the TOC-V main unit alone until normal operation of the ASI-V is restored.

Error!! ASI Arm Vertical Position Detection

Description: The ASI-V arm is not operating normally in the vertical direction.

Resolution: Switch off power to the TOC-V instrument. After switching on the power and running the instrument again, see if the same error is generated. Since the problem is unrelated to the TOC-V main unit, remove the ASI-V from the main unit, and perform operations using the TOC-V main unit alone until normal operation of the ASI-V is restored.

Error!! ASI Turntable Position Detection

Description: The ASI-V turntable position could not be detected. Either the turntable  is not properly seated in the rack, or some object may be blocking a position detection notch on the periphery of the rack.

Resolution: Switch off power to the TOC-V main unit. Make sure the ASI-V is properly seated in the rack, and remove any objects that may be blocking the position detection notch on the periphery of the rack. After eliminating the cause of the problem, place the cover on the ASI-V, and switch on the power to the instrument again.

Error!! FLASH ROM

Description: An error occurred while writing to the memory circuit.

Resolution: Switch off power to the instrument. Contact your Shimadzu representative.

Error!! IC Slider

Description: The IC slider is not operating normally due to particles wedged between the moving parts, etc.

Resolution: Switch off the instrument, inspect the slider and remove any foreign particles from the slider mechanism. Then switch on the power again.

Error!! Oven Overheating

Description: The oven became overheated.

Resolution: With the power ON, wait approximately 20 minutes for the oven temperature to decrease then switch OFF the instrument. After switching on the power and running the instrument again, see if the same error is generated.

Error!! Oven Temperature Sensor

Description: The oven temperature does not rise.

Resolution: Switch off power to the instrument. After switching on the power and running the instrument again, see if the same error is generated.

Error!! Pressure Sensor 2
