Fault Codes
Fault Code Display Mode
While the Zoneline is in the "OFF" mode, press and hold the fan button with the red auxiliary set button 
simultaneously to enter into this mode.  The Zoneline will then display all active fault codes held in 
memory, showing each one for 3 seconds on/off.
If no codes are present, display will show "--" and ash that every 3 seconds on/off.
Displays all fault codes three times and then after an additional 30 seconds the Zoneline reverts to OFF 
mode.  Pressing AUX will clear stored faults but it will not exit the fault code menu.  Any other button 
press takes Zoneline out of this mode.
