READING ERROR CODES

1. To read error codes, please enter Diagnostic Mode (see below on how to enter this mode).

2. Last recorded error code will be displayed first.

3. Start/Pause/Cancel button should be pressed momentarily (any time less than 1sec) to cycle through the last 5
error codes recorded.

4. E00 signifies no error code and is accompanied by no buzzer beeps and no LED flash es.

5. To clear all error codes, press and hold the Start/Pause/Cancel button for a duration >= 4secs.

If Buzzer equipped Main Board Diagnostic LED If Estimated Time Remaining

1. Buzzer beeps the same number of
times as the first digit of the error
code (0.5sec on / 0.5sec off).
For example:
If first digit is 3, buzzer sequence will
be 0.5sec on / 0.5sec off / 0.5sec on
/ 0.5sec off /0.5sec on / 0.5sec off.
A, B, C, D, E, F corresponds to
buzzer digit readings of 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15 respectively.

2. Buzzer stays silent for 2secs. 2. LED stays off for 2 secs. 2. The error code display will stay on

3. Buzzer beeps the same number of
times as the second digit of the error
code (0.5sec on / 0.5sec off).

4. Buzzer stays silent until the
Start/Pause/Cancel button is pressed
momentarily to read the next error
code.

Error Code Display Method

Display equipped

1. Main Board Diagnostic LED will flash
the same number of times as the first digit
of the error code (0.5sec on / 0.5sec off).
After a brief pause, the same Main Board
Diagnostic LED will then flash the same
number of times as the second digit of the
error code (0.5sec on / 0.5sec off).
For example:
If first digit is 3, the LED sequence will be

0.5 sec on / 0.5 sec off / 0.5 sec on / 0.5
sec off /0.5 sec on / 0.5 sec off.
A, B, C, D, E, F corresponds to LED digit
readings of 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
respectively.

3. The sequence keeps repeating
endlessly until the Start/Pause/Cancel
button is pressed momentarily to read the
next error code.

1. Only the error number will display
as the two digits. E will not be
displayed.
For example:
For error code E5C, the segment
display will read 5C.

until the Start/Pause/Cancel button is
pressed momentarily to read the next
error code.

LECTURE DES CODES D'ERREUR

1. Pour lire les codes d'erreur, accédez au mode diagnostique (reportez-vous aux instructions ci-dessous sur la
façon d'accéder à ce mode).

2. Le dernier code d'erreur enregistré est affiché en premier.

3. Appuyez pendant moins d'une seconde sur la touche Start/Pause/Cancel (départ/pause/annuler) pour consulter
les 5 derniers codes d'erreur enregistrés.

4. Le code E00 signifie qu'il n'y a pas de code d'erreur. Aucune sonnerie ne se fera entendre et aucu ne DEL ne
clignotera.

5. Pour effacer tous les codes d'erreur, appuyez sur la touche Start/Pause/Cancel (départ/pause/annul er) et
maintenez-la enfoncée pendant 4 secondes ou plus.

Si l'appareil est doté d'une

sonnerie

1. La sonnerie émet le même
nombre de bips que le premier
chiffre du code d'erreur (0,5 sec.
marche / 0,5 sec. arrêt).
Exemple :
Si le premier chiffre est 3, la sonnerie
suit la séquence suivante : 0,5 sec.
marche / 0,5 sec. arrêt / 0,5 sec.
marche / 0,5 sec. arrêt /0,5 sec.
marche / 0,5 sec. arrêt.
Les lettres A, B, C, D, E et F
correspondent aux lectures des
chiffres de sonnerie 10, 11, 12, 13,
14 et 15 respectivement.

2. La sonnerie reste silencieuse
pendant 2 sec.

3. La sonnerie émet le même
nombre de bips que le deuxième
chiffre du code d'erreur (0,5 sec.
marche / 0,5 sec. arrêt).

Mode d'affichage des codes d'erreur

DEL de diagnostic du tableau principal Si l'appareil est doté d'un

affichage du temps restant prévu

1. La DEL de diagnostic du tableau
principal clignote le même nombre de fois
que le premier chiffre du code d'erreur
(0,5 seconde marche / 0,5 seconde arrêt).
Après une courte pause, la DEL de
diagnostic du tableau principal clignote le
même nombre de fois que le deuxième
chiffre du code d'erreur (0,5 seconde
marche / 0,5 seconde arrêt).
Exemple :
Si le premier chiffre est 3, la DEL suit la
séquence suivante : 0,5 sec. marche / 0,5
sec. arrêt / 0,5 sec. marche / 0,5 sec.
arrêt / 0,5 sec. marche / 0,5 sec. arrêt.
Les lettres A, B, C, D, E et F
correspondent aux lectures des chiffres
de la DEL 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 et 15
respectivement.

2. Les DEL restent éteintes pendant
2 secondes.

3. La séquence se répète infiniment
jusqu'à ce que vous appuyiez sur la
touche Start/Pause/Cancel
(départ/pause/annuler) pour lire le
prochain code d'erreur.

1. Seuls les deux chiffres du code
d'erreur s'affichent. E ne s'affiche
pas.
Exemple :
Pour le code d'erreur E5C, c'est 5C
qui s'affichera.

2. Le code d'erreur reste affiché
jusqu'à ce que vous appuyiez sur la
touche Start/Pause/Cancel
(départ/pause/annuler) pour lire le
prochain code d'erreur.
