    What to do if Lenord, Bauer GEL 8610 Controller shows 'Position too low'?
    • G
      gabriel50Aug 25, 2025
      If the Lenord, Bauer Controller displays 'Position too low', it indicates that the nominal position/length value is lower than the specified »Pos. min« value (storage location 3/71). To resolve this, enter a higher value or specify a new »Pos. min«.

    What to do if Lenord, Bauer Controller shows 'Speed too high'?
    • H
      hernandezjohnAug 26, 2025
      If the Lenord, Bauer Controller displays 'Speed too high', it means a nominal speed value entered is larger than the programmed maximum value (storage location 3/32), considering a programmed multiplier and a decimal point for the speed rate input (storage locations 3/45 and 3/46). Enter a lower value to correct this.
