Error 3 DC
Signal
Conditioner module faulty or not
installed.
Power off; replace or
install DC Signal
Conditioner
module.

Check for improper input
level. Check function
causing error
indication. Applicable
module
may need

or installation.
Error
5
Analog to Digital
Converter Module error.
Power off; replace
