Notes:
1Opto 1 is the coin sensor used to validate £1 coins, L2 & L4 tokens. If the sensor detects that the coin is
the wrong size it will show the error message.
2Opto 2 is the coin sensor used to validate 20p, 10p, €1 & 50c coins or L1 tokens. If the sensor detects that
the coin is the wrong size it will show the error message.
3This is usually caused by a faulty component (IC4).
4The meter has sensed that the mains supply has been switched off/on. This message is only normally
displayed for a second as the meter is switched on or off. If the message is being displayed intermittently
there may be a loose connection around the PSU PCB area of the meter.
