Questions and answers
Our Hardi Spray unit will not operate. The lights in the controller (FB 3610) are continually flashing and not activating the solenoid. When powered up the light flashes rapidly and when the button is pressed and held the light flashes intermittently?
Flashing lights on a Hardi FB 3610 controller typically indicate a fault or error condition. If the spray unit will not operate, this could be due to an issue such as:
- Improper setup or configuration of the system.
- A malfunction in the electrical or control system.
- A fault detected by the controller, preventing operation for safety reasons.
Check for error codes or messages on the virtual terminal (VT), ensure all safety systems are functioning, and verify correct setup. If needed, contact an authorized HARDI technician for service.
