4  WHAT’S WRONG? 
 
So, what’s wrong? Assuming you are reading these pages because of some kind of problem with the 
PAT system, let us try to guide you quickly to solving the problem. In most cases, your problem will 
fall under the following categories: 
 
4.1  I HAVE AN ERROR CODE INDICATED ON THE CONSOLE 
Please go to section Error Codes! 
 
4.2  THE DISPLAYED ANGLE DOES NOT MATCH THE ACTUAL BOOM ANGLE 
Start in section Angle Sensing to check the indicated angle. 
 
4.3  THE DISPLAYED LENGTH DOES NOT MATCH THE ACTUAL BOOM LENGTH 
Start in section Length Sensing to check the indicated length. 
 
4.4  THE DISPLAYED SLEWING DOES NOT MATCH THE ACTUAL SLEWING ANGLE 
Refer to section Slewing Sensing to check the slew sensor. 
 
4.5  THE DISPLAYED LOAD DOES NOT MATCH THE ACTUAL LOAD 
Please note that the indicated load is calculated by the system from the geometry information in the 
computer, the operator’s selections, and all the sensor inputs. If the load display is off, it can therefore 
be due to an error in any or several of these inputs! Refer to section Load sensing to narrow down the 
source of your problem. 
 
4.6  THE CONSOLE DISPLAY IS BLANK 
If the console does not show any sign at all (no lights, no buzzer, no display), the problem is either in 
the wiring between console and central unit, or the console itself. Refer to section No console display 
for further troubleshooting. 
 
4.7  I HAVE AN A2B PROBLEM 
Please go to sectionA2B PROBLEM 
 
4.8  I HAVE A CAN-BUS PROBLEM  
Please go to section CAN-Bus Communication!
