4.01.13 Controller Errors/Alarms
When conditions occur that cause unsafe operation or damage to the
unit (open valves, low oil level, high temp, etc.), the controller will halt
operation, activate an alarm and display error codes &
messages. Error codes are shown on the Lower Display (red
graphic); error messages and prompts are shown on the Upper
Display (blue graphic). Generally, heating elements are
shutdown until an error conditions have been corrected.
Pressing the [ALARM] key silences the alarm, but does not clear the
error. Error codes are shown in the table below and further details are
