4Error and warning messages
The Flow2 software has a number of error and warning messages. When a fault occurs the code is
shown asa 2-digit number in the display preceded by an “F”, a warning is preceded by a “C”.
There are also source codes “S”, these will give further information for a hardware error. These will be
shown in the display after the F24 error
F24 / S6 / F24 / S6 / …
Hardware error, in 15V supply.

F05
Error message
Tilt > 5⁰
Description
Chair is more than 5⁰out of level
Safety action
Normal stop
Possible solution
Go to mode -3- and press the [E] button. Levelling must now move
to the 0 position.
If the levelling of the chair works correctly, this error can have
occurred because the lift went around a corner too quickly so that the
level motor was unable to keep the chair horizontal. It is also possible
that the level motor had insufficient force in this situation.
If the nulling of the chair does not work in mode -3-, there is a
hardware fault.
Check the connections on the sensor board and the safety board
Check the cables between the sensor board, the safety board and the
control board.
Check the connections of the level motor on the control board.
Replace the safety board if it behaves suspiciously.
Replace the control board if none of the above solutions has helped
or if the fault keeps coming back.
Error suppressed in
Mode -3- / ELD mode
Error code
F06
Error message
