Troubleshooting (continued)
If an error occurs, the idle screen is replaced by a screen showing the error code and a description of the error.
Error messages originate in one of three categories:
• Motor drive and power circuitry
• Door control codes related to the motor and encoder
• Option codes related to accessories used with the industrial DC operator.
Consult the Table of Error Codes below to determine the cause and corrective action. Depending on the type of error,
user interaction may be required to clear the error. The error window closes when the error has been cleared/corrected.
