Reading the alarm codes |
|
In order to read the last alarm code memorized in the EEPROM
on the PCB:
with knob
• Enter
diagnostics mode
•
Irrespective of the type of PCB and configuration, turn the
programme selector clockwise
to the
tenth position. |
without knob
• Press the
Fabrics (1) or Temperature (2) button until LED L10
lights. |
|
|
Displaying the alarm
|
|
The alarm is displayed by a repeated flashing sequence of
the two LEDs (0.4
seconds lit, 0.4 seconds off, with an interval of 2.5
seconds between sequences).
The buzzer (if featured) will sound
“bips” in synchronization with the flashing of
the LEDs.
• END
OF CYCLE LED
→ indicates
the first digit of the alarm code (family)
•
START/PAUSE →
indicates the second digit of the alarm
code (number
within the family)
These two LEDs are featured on all models (though they are
configured
differently), and flash
simultaneously. |
Notes:
• The first
letter of the alarm code “E”
(Error) is not displayed, since this letter is
common to all alarm codes.
• The
alarm code “families” are shown in hexadecimal; in other
words:
→ A
is represented by 10 flashes
→ B
is represented by 11 flashes
→ ...
→ F
is represented by 15 flashes
•
Configuration errors are shown by the flashing of a series
of LEDs. |
|
Examples of alarm displays
|
|
Example: Alarm E43 will display the following:
• On the
display, if featured, E43
• The
sequence of four
flashes of the
End-of-cycle LED
indicates the first number E43;
• The
sequence of three
flashes of the
Start/Pause
LED indicates the second number E43; |
