Repeat this action several times (2-3) to be sure that the eproms are deleted.

Remark :

An eprom which is not completely deleted, will give the following notice at the programmation :

‘Blank error at xxxxx’ where ‘xxxxx’ is the part of the eprom that has not been deleted yet.

Howéver, when you have deleted the eprom 3 times, and ‘Blank error’ still appears on the

display, this means that the eprom is out of order.
