Custom string Foreword: The configuration can only be carried out using DiniTools in the “CUSTOM STRING FORMATTING” section. The maximum length of the string configuration field is 100 characters. Fixed alphanumeric characters or variable macros may be used inside. There are also “tokens” which define the characters to be displayed in the string. The custom string can be composed using the macros on page 45 The default custom string setting is shown below: <2><P><W7.><U><M><S><CR><LF>...

8. WIRING DIAGRAMS All cables inside the DFWIECEX must be connected to the terminals by means of a cable lug. The part of the cable outside the sheath (from the shield to the terminal) should be as short as possible.
9. PROGRAMMING ERRORS MESSAGE DESCRIPTION SOLUTION Check the presence of the board inside the a.e “Alibi memory” board (optional) not detected. indicator. If present, check it is not damaged and is installed correctly. Check the presence of the board inside the e.1..x indicator.
