LIGHT CODES
SOMAT systems employ a micro-computer to control many of the unit functions. If a fault or
overload is detected, the system will flash a series of codes by lights located either on the
pushbutton station OR on the panel enclosure itself. Below is a list of the most commonly used
for close coupled machines.
Solid Green: All safeties are latched and secure, system is ready to
run.
Flashing Green: System is in timed stop mode, extractor will spray,
after less than 10 minutes system will shut down.
Slow flashing Green: Unit drain is open, press Green pushbutton to
close drain.
Two Green flash, pause, and repeat: All safeties are latched and
secure, tank is filling.
Solid Red: One of systems 3 motors is overloaded and must be reset.
Flashing Red: Lid switch on pulper or extractor lid is open, shut lid to
resume normal operation.
