9.9.1 Error codes and troubleshooting
The table below describes the error codes that can be displayed with 
the status light or read on the hand unit. 
STATUS LED Text on hand 
unit
Explanation Possible cause
LED off - No voltage or error in 
the regulator.
Defective fuse, poor contact, not con-
nected, error in the regulator.
LED on - Error in the regulator. Error in the regulator.
1,1 ¤ ¤ CURRENT 
SHUNT FAULT
Error in the built-in 
current shunt.
Error in the rotor current sensor in the 
motor monitor.
1,2 ¤ ¤¤ HW FAILSAFE CAN timeout in 
power amplifier.
The motor monitor is reporting an 
unexpected data loss from the tiller 
arm head.
1,3 ¤ ¤¤¤ M- SHORTED Internal M- short 
circuited to B-.
Problem with switch transistor in the 
rotor circuit inside the motor monitor.
3,1 ¤¤¤ ¤ CONT COIL/FLD 
SHORT
Voltage too high for 
contactor feed or 
short-circuited field 
winding.
Attempt to extract more current than 
the output device can manage.
Problem regulating the field current.
Internal monitoring error.
3,3 ¤¤¤ ¤¤¤ FIELD OPEN Open field winding. Shunt field open, defective cable, 
defective motor monitor.
4,1 ¤¤¤¤ ¤ LOW BATTERY 
VOLTAGE
Low battery voltage.
1. Battery voltage < 17 volt.
 
2. Battery poles affected by corrosion.
 
3. Loose battery or regulator connec-
tions.
4,2 ¤¤¤¤ ¤¤ OVERVOLTAGE Voltage too high. 1. Battery voltage > 33 volt.
4,3 ¤¤¤¤ ¤¤¤ THERMAL CUT-
BACK
