1. General information
Any work on the electrical installation may only be carried out by qualified personnel. Attention! Disconnect the electrical installation from the power supply and disconnect the main power plug prior to commencing any work on the parts washer components! Verify that the device is current less! An electrical connection in conformity with the corresponding regulations (EN 60204-1, VDE 0113-1) has to be provided on site. A ground fault circuit interrupter is stringently required! Please have this verified by a qualified electrician. The device has to be installed in a horizontal and stable position on a suitable surface. Cleaning agents containing flammable substances may not be used. Only use cleaning agents that have been approved for this device.

15. Error messages

Any malfunctions that occur will be shown on the display indicating a number between 1 and 8. LO: F1: Liquid level in the tank is too low. Yellow LED is flashing. The heating is without function. Possible cause: e.g. cable break, defect fuse, or the temperature sensor has tripped because of overheating. Actions: Replace fuse (T10A), measure the resistance of the heating (target: 43 to 60 Ohm), eliminate cause of overheating and reset temperature sensor. The pump is without function. Possible cause: e.g. cable break or defect fuse Actions: Replace fuse (T3, 15A), replace pump The air pump is without function. Possible cause: e.g. cable break or defect fuse Actions: Replace fuse (T3, 15A), replace pump The level switch is not or incorrectly connected, or there is a cable break. Short circuit in the level switch The PT100 temperature sensor is not or incorrectly connected, or there is a cable break. Defect or short circuit in the PT100 temperature sensor. Overheating alert: The device has been switched of because the temperature measured exceeded 55 C/131 F. Determine the cause (e.g. additional heating by very hot parts). For restart pull out the plug and plug it in again. The control unit has to be reset (disconnect the device from the power supply); if the defect persists, the control unit has to be replaced.

F2: F3:

F4: F5: F6: F7: F8:

F9:

F10: No increase of temperature could be measured although the heating was switched on (e.g. because the level switch was jammed). For restart pull out the plug and plug it in again. Power consumption too low for: F71 heating, F72 liquid pump, F73 oxygen pump Power consumption too high for: F81 heating, F82 liquid pump, F83 oxygen pump

Overheating
In order to avoid damage caused by overheating the device comes with a temperature sensor that switches the heating off if a temperature limit is exceeded. Once the switch has tripped, the cause of the overheating has to be eliminated, and the temperature sensor has to be reset.

Temperature sensor:
It is located in the tank interstice and has been glued to the inner wall in the lower third of the tank. For resetting by all means disconnect the device from the power supply, remove the control unit and click the red button.
