READING ERROR CODES

1.Press and hold the Select and Cancel buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds to reset control. The buzzer will sound 1 time.

2.Immediately after, rotate cycle selector knob 2 turns counter-clockwise to the third position from the top, and then press and hold the Select and Cancel buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds. The control will enter Field Test Mode, the buzzer will sound 3 times, and the digital display will alternate between “Fld” and the firmware revision number (ex. “r03”).

3.Rotate the cycle selector knob 2 turns counterclockwise. The error code will appear in the digit display.

Troubleshoot problem by using chart below.

To move on to the next code, press the Options button.

To clear code, press the Select button. Code will be cleared when mode is exited.

To exit this mode, simultaneously press and hold the Select and Cancel buttons for 6 seconds.
