    What does *ERR error code mean on Hitachi EX1200-7 Excavators?
    • A
      Ashley SmithAug 13, 2025
      The *ERR error code could be caused by a poor sensor connection. Try removing and refitting the pod connection cable. It could also indicate corrupted coding, in which case you should access the factory setup and perform a default reset using pin 6759.

    Why is the pressurizer on my Hitachi Excavators running at full speed and noisy?
    • W
      whernandezAug 17, 2025
      The pressurizer might be running at full speed due to several reasons. It could be that the filter is blocked, requiring servicing. Another cause might be an open door or window; ensure all doors and windows are securely shut. Inadequate cabin sealing may also be the reason, in which case you should perform a pressure test and seal any leak points. A blocked sense pipe or a damaged internal sensor, which requires controller replacement, could also be the cause.

    What to do if my Hitachi EX1200-7 Excavators display is blank?
    • K
      Kim HoganAug 21, 2025
      If the display is blank, it could be due to a poor power supply. Check the mains supply fuse and ensure the voltage is correct. Alternatively, the controller may have failed, requiring a replacement of the monitor.

    Mr. Jason JacksonAug 25, 2025
    Why does the filter on my Hitachi EX1200-7 Excavators block so quickly?
    • P
      Phyllis WardAug 25, 2025
      A filter might be blocking quickly due to a defective cabin sealing. Perform a pressure test procedure and seal any leak points as required. Another possible reason is a failed pre-cleaner, in which case you should check its operation and replace it if necessary.

    Edward BaileyAug 28, 2025
    What causes the low pressure alarm on Hitachi Excavators?
    • L
      Lindsay SmithAug 28, 2025
      The low pressure alarm may be triggered by several factors. Check if any door or window is open and ensure they are securely shut. Inadequate cabin sealing can also cause this; perform a pressure test procedure and rectify the cab sealing. Additionally, verify that the pressurizer is operating correctly by ensuring the correct voltage (12V or 24V) is supplied to the pressurizer motor pin A. A blocked pressure sense tube or a poor power supply (check the 20A mains fuse and correct voltage) could also be responsible. Finally, check the earth continuity at motor pin B to rule out a poor earth connection.

    What does it mean when my Hitachi Excavators controller is showing 0.0 pressure?
    • T
      Thomas GravesSep 1, 2025
      If the controller displays 0.0 pressure, the fresh air filter might be blocked. Check the filter condition and replace it if required.

    What does the *Check filter alarm mean on Hitachi EX1200-7 Excavators?
    • L
      lesterjustinSep 5, 2025
      The *Check filter alarm indicates a service hour timeout. Access the Check Runtime menu and reset the hours using the 7597 code.

    What to do if there is a temperature or CO2 error on Hitachi Excavators?
    • A
      Amanda NguyenSep 8, 2025
      If you encounter a temperature or CO2 error, it might be due to a disconnected sensor. Fit the sensor or disable it via the site access CO2 and/or temperature menu.
