7Replies24 days ago | Level sense errors I have a vip6 that displays level sense errors when attempting to start a clean cycle. Process completes with no errors. When inspecting sensors I find paraffin buildup around sensors. Temps are within ranges. Any ideas? Equipment: Sakura - TISSUE-TEK VIP 6 Reply |
1Replya year ago | Sakura VIP 6 AI tissue processor - errors 321 and 324 Sakura VIP 6 AI tissue processor. Errors 321 and 324 are not listed in the service manual for the VIP 6 (I haven't seen a service manual for the "AI" version). It appears that these are new codes for the "AI" version of this processor. The description closely matches the description for errors 311 and 314. Does anyone know what the differences might be? Does anyone have a service manual for the VIP 6 AI? Reply |
