Flashes
Description
1
Battery Protection Cut-Out.
The voltage is outside the cut out setting.
2
Fan Over current Cut-Out.
The fan electrical load is more than 1.0 amp.
3
Motor Start Error.
The rotor is blocked or the differential pressure in the
refrigeration system is too high ( >5 bar).
4
Minimum Motor Speed Error.
The motor can not maintain minimum speed (1850
rpm).
5
Thermal Cutout of Electronic Unit.
The electronic unit is running too hot.
6
