There are two different error types:
• Generator errors (E1)
• Digital control errors(E2)
Generator errors are faults detected by the generator and forwarded to the control. On the display of the
digital control "E1" appears. On the analogue controls faults can be detected according to the duration and
frequency of the green light blinking. The green lamp lights one time long and than short regular flashes.
The number of these short flashes is the error number. This pattern is constantly repeated.
For example: error code E1 06 from the generator:
long 1
The red fault lamp remains on as long as an error exists.
Digital control errors are faults from the digital controls. On the display appears "E2" and than the error number
