FAULTS/SUGGESTED REMEDIES
The control box supplied performs a diagnostic role by means of which it is possible to easily identify the possible causes of any malfunctions
(signal:
RED LED
).
In order to use this function, it is necessary to wait at least ten seconds from the moment the control box is put in safety mode and press the lock-
out reset button for a minimum of three seconds.
Once the button has been released, the RED LED will start to flash, as illustrated in the diagram below.
The pulses of the LED constitute a signal spaced by approximately 3 seconds.
The number of pulses will provide the information on the possible faults, according to the table below.
