Check engine light

Just like your car, BactoBox® has a check engine light

The check engine light appears when your BactoBox® requires Preventive maintenance.

The check engine signals that your BactoBox® setup approaches a failure mode. It allows you to schedule preventive maintenance before it is too late.

The check engine appears in the upper right corner in Dash.

The check engine light appears in the upper right corner in Dash.

Preventive maintenance is part of your service agreement

What triggers the check engine light

The check engine light appears if any of these are true:

  • It's been a year since the last Preventive maintenance

  • You've run 2000 programs (e.g., measurements) since the last Preventive maintenance

  • The latest QC test shows that your BactoBox® setup approaches a failure mode

Can I use my BactoBox® while the check engine light shows?

Yes. The check engine light signals that your BactoBox® approaches a failure mode. In other words, your BactoBox® setup still works as intended even when the check engine light appears.
