1.2Proper intended use
The unit is intended only for the purposes agreed in the order confirmation. Any other application or use for any additional purpose, is not a proper intended use. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any injury or damage arising from unintended use. Proper intended use
is also contingent on compliance with the installation, operating and maintenance procedures
described in these operating instructions. The technical data and the details of the connection
assignments can be found on the type plate and in the instructions, and must be complied
with.
Electronic equipment is not fundamentally failsafe! The user must therefore ensure that his system reverts to a safe condition in the event of failure of the equipment. The manufacturer accepts
no responsibility for any damage to life and limb or to material goods and assets in the event of
failure to comply with this provision and in the event of improper use.
The electrical installation must be performed in accordance with the relevant regulations (e.g.
cable cross-sections, fuses, earth conductor connections, etc.). Additional information is included in the documentation. If the control unit is used in a particular area of application, the
required standards and regulations must be complied with.
The controllers are packaged appropriately for transport and may only be transported in
their original packaging. Avoid any impacts and collisions. Unless otherwise noted on the
packaging, the maximum stacking height is 4 packs. When you receive the equipment,
check for any damage to the packaging or the controller.

1.6EMC-compliant installation
Controllers in the GHM spray series fulfil the requirements of EN 61000-6-2 as regards resistance to EMC interference and those of EN 61000-6-3 as regards emissions.
They also comply with standards IEC 61000-4-4/-5/-6/-11 for grid-bound interference. In order to guarantee EM compatibility, the following points must be noted:
All measurement and signalling lines must be connected via shielded cables.
• The shielding of measuring, signal and bus lines must be earthed at one end only.
• Suitable shielding and routing measures must be taken to ensure that mains cables and motor cables do not give rise to any interference in signal and control lines.
If the equipment is installed in a switch cabinet, proper attention must be given to the temperature
inside the cabinet. Güntner switch cabinets are provided with sufficient ventilation.
The GHM manages the spraying of heat exchangers. GHM spray basic can be used for only
one spraying step.
With GHM spray professional you can manage up to nine steps. This system is notable for its
minimal water consumption, which is achieved by spraying just enough sections to reach the
specified setpoint.
Page 9 / 104
Accumulated annual temperature curve
The illustrated example shows a cumulated medium temperature curve achieved with GHM
spray professional. In dry operation the medium temperature (condenser temperature or return temperature) follows the ambient temperature (areas 1 to3). When the ambient temperature is low, the medium temperature is held to the setpoint set up on the speed controller
(area4).
Using the GHM to regulate spraying calls for a second setpoint. In this example this setpoint is
chosen to be 30°C. This setpoint is set up in the GHM, having been calculated by the product
selection program GPC during the configuration process. The spraying setpoint determines
the length of time in hours the unit is sprayed, with reference to data pertaining to the local
climate. The higher the number of spraying hours for the unit the more precisely it can fulfil
the setpoint. While the ambient temperature is low (area4), the medium temperature follows
the setpoint of the speed controller. If the ambient temperature rises it will no longer be possible to reach the speed control setpoint (area3) because the fans will already be operating at
maximum speed. If the ambient temperature continues to rise (area2), the medium temperature will be governed by the setpoint of the GHM. If the ambient temperature rises so high
(area1) that the setpoint can no longer be reached, then the medium temperature will continue to rise at a corresponding displacement to the ambient value.
If a number of units are operated in a master-slave configuration, common inlet and drain
valves provided by the customer can be used for several units. These valves are then controlled exclusively by the master. The following device configurations allow master-slave control:
The master unit is operated in Auto internal mode. Auto internal mode has to be configured
on the spraying controller (GHM controller) as well as on the speed controller (GMM controller). The slave unit is operated in Slave external analogue mode.
Page 10 / 104
The master unit is operated in Auto external bus mode or Auto external analogue mode. Auto external mode has to be configured on the spraying controller (GHM controller) as well as
on the speed controller (GMM controller). The slave unit is operated in Slave external analogue
mode.
All units are operated in Slave mode. One of the slave units takes over control of the solenoid
valves provided by the customer. The device configuration indicates which unit activates the
valves provided by the customer. It has to be ensured in this mode of operation that all spraying controllers (GHM controller) and speed controllers (GMM controller) are configured in
Slave mode.
The GHM spray must be set up in accordance with the configuration of the heat exchanger
and the fans. This commissioning process determines the performance of the heat exchanger.
The GHM spray automatically detects whether commissioning has been carried out when it is
switched on and, if it has, continues with normal operation.
If the GHM spray detects that this has not yet been done, it initiates the commissioning procedure. When this procedure has been completed, all the specified parameters are saved.
If it is recognized that commissioning has not yet taken place, the following values are interrogated and set up in accordance with the following flow chart.
GRCspray.1 is used to manage spraying together with either a GMM speed controller with bus
communication or an external speed controller without bus communication. As a minimal solution, the GRCspray.1 can control one step
(variant GHM spray basic).
Page 18 / 104
Variant GHM spray basic
If you need more steps you will need to combine the GRCspray.1 with the GIOD.1 expansion
module, ERP no. 5204183
(variant GHM spray professional).
In order to operate the controller it must have a power supply and must be enabled via digital
input DI1. If this is not enabled the process will not be regulated.
The unit has an internal PID controller, whose parameters (amplification factor, integral time)
can be configured either per menu or via an external bus module.
The spraying setpoint can be specified from the internal menu.
The current value is determined via a pressure sensor (4-20mA), a temperature sensor (KTY,
GTF210) or via BUS from the GMM speed controller.
The relay outputs controlling the output stages are switched as appropriate for the setpoint
and the number of steps. A switch-on threshold can be configured for each step.
The digital inputs are designed as potential-free contacts that must be connected to +24V.
Spraying will be enabled only if the external enable (DI1) is connected and the fans are in operation. Fan operation is either conveyed from GMM to GHM via bus communication or by
means of an additional enable (D12). This enable (DI2) is valid only if there is no bus communication between GMM and GHM spray.
ADVICE
Please note that connecting the wrong voltage (e.g. 230V) may seriously damage the controller.
Relay outputs are used to control solenoid valves and activate warning messages. The CAN interface of the GRCspray.1 is an internal interface for communicating with other Güntner units
(such as the GIOD.1 expansion module). Communications modules are available for the following external bus connections: Modbus (GCM MOD GHMspray Rail.1, ERP no. 5206138)
and Profibus (GCM PROF GHMspray Rail.1, ERP no. 5206140).
The GIOD.1 is controlled via CAN by a Güntner controller. The GIOD.1 possesses 16 digital inputs with a rated voltage of 24VDC and 8 relay outputs. The bus address of the GIOD.1 (node
ID) is set up using a rotary encoding switch. The address 0xF may not be used for this.
ADVICE
To operate the GIOD on GHM professional the rotary switch must always be set to addressA.
The GIOD reads this address only when first switched on.
To ensure the bus connection between the controller and one or more other units works correctly, bus termination must be activated at the beginning and end of the bus connection by
setting the units’ DIP switches labelled “Term”. They must be placed in the “ON” position to
activate the termination. Units that are in the middle of the bus and therefore permitted to
transfer the bus signal may not have bus termination activated.
The status of the inputs and outputs is indicated by LEDs on the front of the casing. A lit LED
against the digital inputs signifies that the corresponding input is receiving a “high” signal. A
lit LED against the relay outputs signifies that the closer contact is closed. A power LED signifies that the internal electronic components are receiving power.
There is also a status display for the bus connection that involves two LEDs.
The step generator comprises three main components
1. Step generator
The step generator generates a bit pattern for the outputs that are to be switched depending
on the number of steps, their thresholds, their hysteresis and the hold-off time (=default setting).
Page 22 / 104
2. Section cycling
Section cycling ensures even distribution of the running times for the outputs (the sections).
To this end it records and evaluates the running times of all the active outputs.
Active section cycling means,
- when a step is switched on, the output with the least running time is activated.
No change is made to any outputs that were already active.
- when a step is switched off, the output with the highest running time is deactivated.
- when no change is made (the number of outputs does not change for a period of one hour)
no outputs are switched over.
- An even distribution of running times can be achieved only in association with the
installation’s general control behaviour on the basis of higher or lower heat exchanger performance.
ADVICE
When section cycling is deactivated, steps and outputs are correlated 1:1. In other words, step1
switches output1, step2 switches output2, and so on.
When section cycling is active, an active step is assigned to an output depending on its running time.
The current assignments are shown in the Current values menu.
3. Outputs
The outputs are the physical correlations of steps to outputs.
This depends on the type of GHM spray and the number of steps.

Operation:
Digital output DO1 is used to control the on-site solenoid valves. An NC solenoid valve (normally closed) is to be provided to feed the system and an NO solenoid valve (normally open)
for on-site draining. The valves are powered when contact 11/14 is closed.
The drain valve in the system is connected additionally to DO1 in the case of the "basic" system.
Digital output (DO2):
Digital output DO2 is used to control two solenoid drain valves in the system in the case of the
professional system. The valves are powered when contact 21/24 is closed.
Digital output DO2 is not occupied in the case of the "basic" system or is intended as a drain
signal for additional slave systems.
Digital output (DO3):
Digital output DO3 is used to control the solenoid valve on the unit’s water inlet. The valve is
powered when contact 31/34 is closed. If several units are operated in master-slave mode, the
drain command is sent to the slave unit via this output signal in the case of the professional
system.
The solenoid valve is connected to DO3 for spraying in the case of a GHM basic controller.
Page 41 / 104
Digital output (DO4):
Digital output DO4 is used for the fault report. If a fault is pending, contact 41/44 is activated.
The exception here is a device with 9 sections. Output DO4 is used in this case to activate the
9th step. The fault report is picked up in this case on AO2. (See I/O configuration, Page 77)
The control inputs are designed as a low-voltage connection and are connected via a potential-free contact (relay, contactor contact, switch etc.). The potential-free contact must be
switched between the terminals +24V and the DI1 or DI2 or DI3 control input. The function is
activated when the contact is closed.
6.6.1Enabling of GHM spray
Spraying is enabled via terminal DI1 (enable). If this enable is not switched, spraying will be
disabled.
If it is not to be enabled externally, terminal DI1 must be jumpered.
This enabling jumper is always installed in the factory.
Page 42 / 104
Connection of external enable contact +24V – DI1
ADVICE
Under no circumstances may the controller be disabled by interrupting the supply voltage! Continuously switching the supply voltage can damage the controller and such damage is not covered by
the warranty!
Enable is not required in "Manual" mode.
See Manual mode, Page 65
(only if there is no active bus communication to a GMM)
If the GHM is not operated with a Güntner speed controller (bus communication between
GMM and GHM), a further enable via digital input DI2 is required. This enable serves to ensure
that the fans are in operation.

Under no circumstances may you disable the controller by disconnecting its power supply!
Continual switching of the power supply may damage the controller, and such damage is not covered by the warranty!
Enable is not required in "Manual" mode.
See Manual mode, Page 65.
6.6.3Starting drain from externally
The drain can be started from externally via input DI2.
ADVICE
Connection for starting the drain from externally +24V
The setpoint switchover can be activated via digital input DI3. The second setpoint has to be
configured in the menu.
6.7Analogue inputs
The GHM has four sensor inputs:
Page 44 / 104
Input AI1Current input4-20mA
Input AI2switchable4-20mA or impedance sensor GTF210
Input AI3Impedance sensorGTF210
Input AI4Voltage source0-10V DC
The various ways of using inputs and how to connect them in each case are described below.
6.7.1Connecting a pressure sensor to AI1
Operating mode: Auto internal
Depending on the operating mode, the current input at AI1 can be configured differently
(see I/O configuration, Page 77).
If there is no bus communication to a GMM, then condensers have a two-wire sensor connected to AI1. If both a GHM and a GMM are present, the pressure signal from the GMM is
passed via the bus to the GHM and the pressure connection is then not required.
= Common supply voltage(GSW4003.1: brown(1), GSW4003:brown(1))
+24V
= 4-20mA signal from sensor 1(GSW4003.1: blue(3), GSW4003: green(2))
Three-wire sensors with a 4-20 mA signal output can also be connected, but these then require an
additional chassis potential. You can tap this from the GND terminal.
Important for pressure sensors: To protect the sensor from large pressure impacts and vibrations, do not install it in the immediate vicinity of the compressor. It should be installed as
close to the condenser inlet as possible.
A conductivity sensor for recording the water quality is connected on AI2.
6.7.4Connecting a medium temperature sensor on AI3
Drycoolers (with no bus communication to a GMM) have a return temperature sensor connected to AI3.
A temperature sensor is connected on the terminals

There is no particular sequence for the cores.
The Güntner GTF210 temperature sensor is used in the range -30°C to +70°C. Please contact us for other temperature ranges.

Page 47 / 104
Temperature sensor connection
To test a temperature sensor that may be defective, disconnect it from the controller and measure the impedance of the sensor (with an ohmmeter or multimeter). On the GTF210 , the impedance should be between 1.04 kΩ (-50°C) and 3.27kΩ (+100°C). You can use the table below to check whether the sensor has the correct impedance at a known temperature.
A temperature sensor for recording the ambient temperature is connected to AI4.
A standard signal (0-10V) is connected on the terminals

ADVICE
Make sure the polarity is correct (earth to GND, signal to AI4)!
The 0-10V input is mostly used to operate the controller in SLAVE or Auto external mode. To
do this, this input must be defined as a slave or setpoint input in the I/O configuration. The
0-10V input signal is scaled 0-100% in a control signal and passed on to the spraying controller.
The actual input signals and control values are shown here.
6.8.1.1Input current values
You can have a number of quantities displayed by calling up the menu item Current values.
The measured temperature or pressure is displayed first. Which value is displayed depends on
the type of cooler (condenser or drycooler).
Page 50 / 104
Condenser

Drycooler
6.8.1.2Ambient temperature
The current ambient temperature is shown.
6.8.1.3Control value
The control value of the controller that is used to generate the steps is displayed in percent.
Here the system displays the current status of the switching step and the corresponding spray
section.
The length of the list depends on the number of configured steps.
When the GHM is combined with a GMM (Güntner Motor Management) this displays the fan
speed. This display will not appear if there is no bus communication to a GMM.
6.8.1.6Conductivity
The spraying water's conductivity is displayed here.
This shows whether the controller is a GHM spray professional or a GHM spray basic. The display also shows how many spraying steps are configured in the controller.
6.8.2.6Section cycling
This shows whether the Section cycling function is activated. This function is present only in
GHM spray professional.
This shows that the GHM is operating with a GMM (Güntner Motor Management).
This shows that the GHM is operating as an independent controller.
This shows that the GHM is operating in manual mode.
6.8.2.7Heat exchanger
The heat exchanger type is displayed here.
6.8.2.8Refrigerant
If a condenser has been selected as the heat exchanger, the selected refrigerant is displayed
here. If no refrigerant has been selected, “bar” is displayed.
This shows information about the current hardware and software versions of the GHM.
GHM= Güntner Hydro Management
GIOD= Güntner Input Output Device
H= Hardware version
S= Software version
6.8.2.10Setpoint displacement active/inactive
It is shown here whether the current setpoint is displaced.
Page 55 / 104
This is possible if a GHM controller is operating in combination with a GMM controller. If the
setpoint is displaced in the case of the GMM controller, the GHM setpoint may also be displaced automatically, thus ensuring that the GHM setpoint is always higher than the GMM setpoint.
6.8.2.11External drain
If DI2 is configured as an external drain, the status will be shown here.
6.8.2.12Inlet control
It is shown here whether the unit has been configured such that the common on-site feed
valve is activated with master-slave control.
6.8.2.13Bus module
This display provides information on the module type, firmware version and the address of the
GCM bus module, when it is connected.
Here you set up the conditions that activate spraying.
Page 56 / 104
6.8.3.1.1Outdoor temperature
Here you set up the ambient temperature at which spraying is enabled.
Note: Spraying will not begin until the setpoint (parameter → Spraying from → setpoint) is
reached or exceeded.
6.8.3.1.2Hysteresis temp.
Here you set up hysteresis values for the outdoor temperature. For example, if the starting
temperature for spraying is set to 30° with a hysteresis of 3K, spraying will not switch off until
the ambient temperature drops below 27°C.
(only if there is active bus communication to a GMM)
Here you set up the fan speed from which spraying is enabled. This function is available only
for a GHM in combination with a GMM. If there is currently no bus communication to a GMM,
the GHM can be enabled additionally by means of digital input contact DI2, assuming this has
been defined in the IO configuration.
6.8.3.1.4Hysteresis rpm
(only if there is active bus communication to a GMM)
Here you set up the hysteresis that is responsible for enabling spraying according to the fan
speed. For example, if the starting speed for spraying is set up as 90% with a hysteresis of
10%, spraying will not be switched off until the speed drops below 80%.
Page 57 / 104
6.8.3.2Setpoint
Here you set up the setpoint for spraying.
The following table shows the value to which the setpoint refers, depending on the heat exchanger configuration.

ADVICE
Based on the control concept, the GHM controller's setpoint must always be at least 2 Kelvin higher
than the setpoint on the speed controller.
The setpoints that govern spraying are defined here.
If a second setpoint is required, it has to be activated under the "No. of setpoints" menu option.
6.8.3.2.2Setpoint delta min.
The minimum interval between the GHM and GMM setpoint is displayed here.
Page 58 / 104
The GHM setpoint must always be higher than the GMM setpoint. If the GMM setpoint is displaced, this parameter ensures that the GHM setpoint is higher than the GMM setpoint by the
specified interval.
6.8.3.2.3Number of setpoints
A second setpoint can be activated here.
6.8.3.3Draining
Here you set up the parameters that govern draining.
Here you set the amount of downtime (during which spraying is inactive) after which the pipes
of the spraying system will be drained. It is necessary to empty the system periodically to prevent the build-up of Legionella in the water
6.8.3.3.2Frost draining
If the ambient temperature is lower than the specified frost temperature, the system is
drained automatically.
6.8.3.3.3Number of slave sections
The number of spraying steps of the largest slave unit is displayed here for master-slave control.
Page 59 / 104
6.8.3.4Fault report
Here you set up the parameters that govern fault reports.
6.8.3.4.1Hours high
An alarm message is generated if the number of hours of spraying per year exceeds the specified value.
6.8.3.4.2Conductivity low
An alarm message is generated if the conductivity of the water drops below the specified value.
The GHM has an alert memory that can accommodate up to 85 incident report, turn-on and
reset times stored consecutively (cyclically). These incident reports consist of the fault and
the time stamp, comprising the date and time when the fault occurred. For a list of error
messages and warnings see Error messages and warnings , Page 94.
When the alert memory is selected, the display shows the last fault that occurred.
Manual mode is used to manually activate spraying of the heat exchanger,
draining or to operate individual valves.
Manual mode does not depend on DI1 enabling.
Manual mode has the highest priority and switches off all other control
types.
The fact that manual mode is active is recorded permanently. In other
words, it will still be active after you have switched the system off and back
on.
6.8.8.1Manual mode
In order to set manual mode you first need to select the desired type of manual operation
from the “Mode” menu.
Manual mode off:
Manual mode is inactive.
Manual mode draining:
Manual mode has been activated, draining can be carried out by hand.
Page 65 / 104
Manual mode valve switching
Manual mode “valve switching” enables you to manually power the solenoids of the inlet and
drain valves.
(only for the basic system)
Manual mode spraying:
The heat exchanger can be sprayed manually in manual spraying mode.
(only for the professional system)
Manual mode control value:
Manual mode has been activated, the control value for switching the spraying steps is prescribed by a parameter.
Manual mode section:
Manual mode has been activated, the spraying of each section can be specifically switched on
or off.
ADVICE
The settings for manual mode are fail-safe. After switching the GHM spray off and back on, the
most recently specified manual mode is reactivated and again has higher priority than all other
control types.
The relevant settings for the modes selected under "Manual mode" can be defined in manual
settings mode.
Manual mode settings:
When manual mode is active, this enables you to modify either the manual control value or
the state of the relevant output.
The settings for manual mode are fail-safe. After switching the GHM spray off and back on, the
most recently specified manual mode is reactivated and again has higher priority than all other
control types.
In this menu you configure the control parameters of the digital PID controller (proportional, integral, derivative controller).
6.9.1.1Control parameters Kp, Ti and Td
Page 70 / 104
The Kp factor can be entered in a range from 0.1 to 10.0 to one decimal place. The Kp factor
specifies the control amplification. It is the proportion of the control path following the input
signal.
The Ti reset time changes the control value in the set time by the value specified by the proportional factor.
Example: With an unchanged control deviation (Xs) of 1K and Xp = 10 the control signal in Ti
= 25s is increased by 10%.
The delay time Td can be set in a range from 0 to 1000 seconds. The D part of the controller
does not react to the deviation but to the speed of change.
In this menu option you can select whether
a refrigerant has been defined and whether
the display of reference and current values
with temperature should be converted accordingly, or whether no refrigerant has been
defined (bar) and the setpoints and current
values should be displayed as pressure.
The operating mode can be set in this mode.
The active mode is shown with a *.
Page 73 / 104
The individual spraying steps are activated in accordance with the control value. This control
value is generated automatically by the internal PI controlled in Auto internal and Auto external modes. The control value is pre-set externally in Slave external mode. The control principle
is illustrated in the next diagram using the example of a system with four steps.
6.9.4.1Auto internal
In this mode, control is automatic on the basis of the setpoint defined internally. This setpoint
is entered in the Setpoints menu option.
In this mode, control is automatic on the basis of the setpoint defined externally by the analogue input. Which input delivers the setpoint and which the actual value is defined in the IO
configuration.
In this mode the setpoint is specified via BUS.
A Güntner Communication Module (GCM module) is required for this operating mode.
6.9.4.4Slave external
In this mode, there is no internal control. Instead the control value on the slave input is scaled
and forwarded to the individual spraying steps. Which input is to be used as the slave input is
defined in the I/O configuration.
6.9.4.5Slave external BUS
In this mode the control value is specified via BUS.
A Güntner Communication Module (GCM module) is required for this operating mode.
A number of units can share the use of on-site inlet and drain valves in the
case of master-slave control. The master unit has to be configured here
such that this unit assumes control of the on-site valves.
Here you can modify the parameters of the step generator.
6.9.6.1Section cycling
When section cycling is active the running times of the individual spraying sections are balanced. This ensures that, on average, all the sections are subjected to the same load.
Page 76 / 104
With active section cycling there is NO 1:1 correlation between active steps and spray sections.
6.9.6.2Threshold value
Here you can specify a threshold value for each step.
The step will then be switched active when the control value of the internal PID controller
reaches this threshold.
6.9.6.3Off hysteresis
A hysteresis is defined to prevent a given step from being switched on and off too frequently.
This means that each stage switches off only when it reaches the corresponding threshold value minus the hysteresis.
This is the time until the next higher step is switched in.
This prevents a number of steps from being switched in simultaneously.
Switching the steps back down is carried out with no hold-off time.
6.9.6.5Minimum switch time
The minimum switch time is the shortest possible time for a section to be sprayed.
Page 77 / 104
ADVICE
6.9.7I/O configuration
This menu item is used to configure the analogue inputs.
At the same time you can assign them selected functions.
6.9.7.1Analogue inputs
The analogue inputs are configured by default, depending on the type of heat exchanger (condenser or dry cooler) and on whether or not the GHM has bus communication to a GMM
(Güntner Motor Management). Input AI1 is a 4-20 mA current input. Input AI3 is a current input. Input AI2 can be configured as a current input as well as a KTY resistance input. Input AI4
is a 0-10V DC input.
See Configuration table, Page 37.
The digital inputs on terminals DI1, DI2 and DI3 are control inputs.
In the case of a GHM without GMM, a choice can be made here as to whether the input is to
be used for enabling spraying via the fans or whether it can be used to initiate external draining. If the input is required for external draining, the enabling by the fans can also be performed in series with the general enable on DI1 . Digital input DI3 is used for switchover between the defined setpoints.
A choice is made here as to whether the control value for the unit will be output via AO1 or
AO2 or whether the control value for the master will be output for master-slave control on a
slave unit on AO1/AO2 . If the control value is used for activating additional slave units, the
control value of the master unit should always be forwarded to the other slave units.
Likewise, AO1 and AO2 can be configured as a fault report. If the output signal exceeds 5V,
there is no fault, while a fault exists in case of a signal less than 5V.
The control can be reset to delivery condition here.
Commissioning is then not necessary.

ADVICE
Any changes made locally and the commissioning values will be cleared. Once this function has
been completed, a completely new factory commissioning must be carried out.
If an external bus module is connected, the communication parameters for
the module in question can be set in this menu. In addition to the fieldbus
address, the baud rate and framing can also be pre-set additionally in the
case of a Modbus module.

ADVICE
Turn off the power to the GHM + bus module after every address change. Only then will the new addresses be accepted.
Most faults that occur during commissioning are due to wiring faults or defective sensors. It
is only in the rarest of cases that the speed controller itself is defective. Check the following
points before ordering a replacement:
Status info menu:
• Is a fault displayed in the info menu? (You can always return to the Info menu by pressing X).
• If NO, then go to Test point 2.
• For other error messages see Table Error messages and warnings , Page 94
TEST POINT 2:
Mains connection:
• Are all phases present?
Sensor connection:
Page 87 / 104
• Is the sensor connected correctly? Cf "Sensor connection" section
