9. Troubleshooting
The Flowtron Excel system features an audible and visual alarm. If a problem
occurs, the system will sense the fault and briefly flash a message on the front panel
pressure display.
If the same fault continues for 10 successive inflations, the audible alarm will sound
and a flashing message will remain on the pressure display until corrective action is
completed.
The exception to this is an

Internal electronic fault
After a fault has been corrected, the alarm can be
cancelled by two methods:
1. Switch the pump off, then on again.
2.
Allow the pump to run until it senses a normal
inflation; it will then reset itself.
Continue to watch the display for approximately one
minute after reset. If no flashing messages reappear, the
fault has been cleared.
If the troubleshooting procedures do not return
the system to normal performance, stop using the
system immediately and call the service engineer.

garment end.
2. Check garment and replace if
