Electronic Pipette Error Message
All motorized electronic pipettes have an onboard program to control the performance of each pipetting action. An error message on the display means that the pipette has not been able to perform the attempted action properly. It could be due to an unfit component, like the tip, or the incorrect action of the operator. In any event, the display will show “Error” and “Press Ent”. All that the user needs to do is to clear the message and reset the pipette. The procedure to clear the error and reset is either on the display, such as “rst”, or in the manufacturer user manual.
In most cases, clearing the electronic pipette error message and resetting the pipette will fix the issue. However, if something has gone wrong with the printed circuit board or the motor, it can be only replaced by the manufacturer due to the need of propriety software only the manufacturer has access to.
