PROGRAM STOPPED 
DUE TO FULL BOTTLE
During composite mode, this message appears upon a full bottle condition. The program cannot 
be restarted until the composite container is emptied and the float switch is in the lowered position.
BOTTLE IS FULL
If your instrument is programmed for single container composite sampling, this message appears 
if the 
START PROGRAM
 key is pressed and the float switch is not in the lowered position. Because 
the same circuit path is used for the composite full bottle float switch (composite mode) and 
#1 bottle indicator (multiple bottle mode), this message will also appear if the 
START PROGRAM
 key 
is pressed with the sampler programmed for single container composite with the distributor 
assembly in place, and the arm in the #1 bottle position. To correct this situation, remove the 
distributor, install the composite container retainer, and press the 
START PROGRAM
 key.
FULL BOTTLE or 
PROGRAM HALTED 
DUE TO FULL BOTTLE
The full bottle float switch is in the raised position due to a full composite container. To resume the 
program, exchange the full container with an empty one. With the float switch in the lowered 
position, the program will resume within one minute.
