Error Messages
Seal Wash (Safety)
Seal Wash
This error message is generated, if the pressure sensor is incorectly plugged 
into the connector on the main board, that should hold the seal wash motor 
cable.
Wait for Encoder Position Timed Out
Encoder position was not reached within specified time.
Pressure sensor incorrectly plugged into the main board port
You risk permanent damage of the pressure sensor, if the seal wash pump is turned ON 
while the pressure sensor is incorrectly connected to the main board port, dedicated 
for the seal wash pump. This requires exchange of complete multi assembly.
➔ Never turn on the seal wash pump, while the pressure sensor is connected to the 
main board port.
➔ Make sure the seal wash cable and the pressure sensor cable are plugged in the 
correct positions before turning ON the seal wash pump.
Probable cause Suggested actions
1 Pressure sensor and seal wash pump 
connector were connected to the wrong 
position on the main board (identical 
connectors allow to plug into the wrong 
positions by mistake).
Switch the connectors of the seal wash pump 
cable and the pressure sensor to meet the 
correct positions (P23 for seal wash cable, P29 
for the pressure sensor cable from the multi 
assembly).
Probable cause Suggested actions
1 Flow too low. Recalculate flow or wait time, to allow to reach 
encoder position before encoder position 
time-out.
2 Pump OFF. Turn ON pump.
