GERNERAL FAULT CODES
•
If more than one fault is present, the device status indicator and text for each fault alternate at 2 second intervals.
•
If you receive an LOE error communicated via the communications bus, double-check with the device LUI 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.
