All fault and alert messages appear at the bottom of most screens in a single line of text. Messages alternate
through a technique known as “Round Robin Display”. Each active message appears for 3 seconds and then the
display goes to the next. Thus if there were 3 active messages, all 3 would be displayed every 9 seconds.
Fault Messages

as long as the fault persists. Faults must be corrected and then reset from the HMI using the Reset Button.
Faults are first indicated by the red banner at the bottom of all screens.
