Reset despite disabled "SELECT/SET" button
Using the "SELECT/SET" button, you can always reset the device parameters to the factory
defaults during the startup phase of the device. This applies also if the "Reset to Factory
Defaults" function was disabled in the con󹪝guration. This allows you to reset the device to the
factory defaults in an emergency.
If the function has been disabled in the con󹪝guration, it is only disabled on completion of the
startup phase.
To reset the device to the factory defaults during the startup phase, follow the steps below:
1. Turn o󹪜 the power to the device.
2. Now press the "SELECT/SET" button and reconnect the power to the device while holding
down the button.
3. Hold down the button until the red error LED "F" stops 󹪞ashing and is permanently lit.
4. Now release the button and wait until the fault LED "F" goes o󹪜 again.
5. The device starts automatically with the factory defaults.
Restoring the factory defaults during operation
You can also reset the device to the factory defaults during operation, see section "SELECT / SET
button (Page 31)".
