File with inverter char-
acteristic cannot be 
opened!
Default values are 
used.

File with characteristics cannot be read. Current adjustment of the machine ineffective.
A file generated during current adjustment is stored on the CF card of the machine: 

During calibration, a digital adjustment is carried out, where the differences between 
the setpoint and actual values and the measured values of a calibrated measuring unit 
can be recorded point by point and saved in a file.

If the file is not readable, the error coefficients are given the default value (1).
This makes the current adjustment carried out by Orbitalum ineffective.

 

X

For applications which provide data monitoring and actual value recording, stop 
working with the machine.

 

X

Contact Orbitalum to restore the calibration data.

Auto programming 
failed!
The auto programming 
file may be missing or 
corrupt.

Auto programming error.
Causes:
•  The combination of pipe diameter and wall thickness lie outside the value range of 

auto programming (e.g. wall thicknesses over 4 mm)

 

X

Use other parameters.

•  Data of the database on the internal CF card not present or not readable.

External storage me-
dium not found!
The card reader may 
not have a card in-
serted

Access to external memory card not possible.

 

X

Check whether the memory card is detected by the system (diskette symbol in the 
display).

 

X

Reset the card reader: Disengage card reader, remove it from the slot and insert it 
again.

 

X

Check whether the memory card is defective or has an unreadable format.
