Note: When multiple alarms occur, the highest priority alarm is displayed until being cleared, then the next highest alarm is displayed until all alarms are cleared. Only then
will parameters be shown again.

The data to be permanently shown on the display can be selected by the user (parameter ┌┘1). It is possible to temporarily display these values. However this function is
not available in an alarm condition. The display will show for one second the numerical identifier of the data (see ┌┘1 parameter) and then the selected data. After 5 minutes,
the display will return to the value selected by parameter ┌┘1.

Symptom
Operating superheat is several degrees higher or lower than
set-point
Operating superheat is too low i.e. compressor wet running 1- Incorrect wiring of ECVs
Valve is not fully closed
Instable superheat (hunting)
Valve opens when EC3 commands to close and vice versa
EX8 is not able to open at high differential pressure
Superheat set-point is shifting after several months of
uninterrupted operation or permanent jumper of 24 V
