5 ERROR MESSAGES
The console keeps a list of the last 6 errors which may have occurred.
The error messages are displayed in order on the first line of the LCD in alternation with other messages on the
display, for example:
1 / 2 ALL 04 then for example 2 / 2 ALL 06
These flashing messages indicate, for example, that first there was an interruption in the BYP knob circuit,
followed by a lost trolley.
The following table lists the exceptions which may occur during and operation cycle, and the respective
messages displayed.
The list of events is intended to indicate a sequence of the errors which occur, in order to assist with the
reconstruction of events in case of malfunction.
