Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Injector will not arm / self-test fails
HighSymptoms: Will not arm, error message, aborts an injection.
Root cause: Air in the syringe / line, a syringe not seated, or a sensor / self-test fault.
No drive / plunger will not advance
MediumSymptoms: Piston will not move, inaccurate flow or volume, stalls.
Root cause: Drive motor, leadscrew, or plunger engagement.
MR-environment / tilt or position fault
MediumSymptoms: Injector disarms near the magnet or will not run out of the correct position.
Root cause: Tilt sensor or the MR-safety interlock.
Remote / control-room communication loss
MediumSymptoms: No control from the console, status not updating.
Root cause: Cable, fibre link, or a communication board.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Will not arm
- Purge all air from the syringe and connecting line.
- Confirm the syringe is fully seated and the plunger engaged.
- Let the self-tests complete and note any message.
- Check the head is in the correct position (tilt / MR interlock).
- Refer for service if self-tests still fail.
Symptom: Plunger will not advance
- Confirm the plunger is engaged with the drive.
- Listen for the drive motor on a manual advance.
- Check for a mechanical obstruction.
- Replace the drive assembly if it will not move under command.
- Verify delivered volume vs set volume after repair.
