Out of service

The LED on the front of the control unit displays "Out of service".
This warning is given when there is a lack of power supply and the voltage of the
batteries, after a prolonged period of functioning, drops below a certain level (22 V),
which does not guarantee the correct functioning of the control unit.
To solve the problem you can:
•
•
It is recommended you disconnect the system if you cannot find an immediate solution.
5.4.6

Supply faults

If the control unit warns of a lack of power of any sort, use a tester to check the power
supply of the power input connections. If the voltage is correct, check the fuses of the
power input and the main board input.
5.4.7

Low battery

The voltage of the batteries may be low. With the control unit powered by batteries only,
check that the voltage is above 24V. Check that the fuse of the batteries on the main
board is in correct working order. Check that the output voltage of the batteries is 27.6V
when the control unit is connected to the mains without batteries.
If the batteries are in bad condition (losing liquid), they must be changed.
5.4.8

Others

The screen is not clear:
The control unit has a potentiometer for varying the screen contrast level. This option is
on the control unit connections panel. To alter the contrast, turn it slowly to the right or left
until it is clear. (See section 2.1)
The control unit does not accept the code:
To access level 3 of the configuration of the control unit, a code that is common to all
control units is required: 9898. This user code may be changed. If you change it (See
section 4.2.10) and you loose the new code, you would have to contact your distributor.
