Troubleshooting and Error Indications
The FB1000 detects and reports several events and conditions that are considered errors. The FB1000 will stop any run in process and display "ERROR XX" where XX is one of the below listed errors. When the FB1000 is displaying an error indication, press the gray ON/OFF key to clear the error and return to setup mode, or press the Run key to resume the run (after correcting the cause of the error).
