ONYX monitors constantly all important parameters. Almost any major failure within one of the low
voltage or the high voltage circuits would be detected and reported immediately
When errors occur during operation of the ONYX, a warning message will appear.
If an error occurs, the ONYX will either request how to proceed, or following a warning, automatically switch off the unit
to avoid possible damage.
