General fault codes
Note
• The status icon shown associated with each fault is the default icon in Condensed Mode.
• If more than one fault is present, the device status indicator and text for each fault
alternate at 2 second intervals.
• Some faults cause the device to go to Fail-safe mode (Fault 52). These are indicated with
an asterisk (*).
• If you receive an LOE error communicated via the communications bus, double-check the
local display prior to contacting the service department. Occasionally the device will show
a hardware fault (S96) that is reported through the bus as an LOE. In such a case, the
device electronics will need to be replaced.
