What it means

What to do about it

E.Conf

A change made to a parameter takes a finite time to be entered. If the power to the controller is turned off before the change has been entered then this alarm will occur.

 

Avoid turning the power off while ConF is flashing.

Enter configuration mode then return to the required operating mode. It may be necessary to re-enter the parameter change since it will not have been entered in the previous configuration.

E.CaL

Calibration error

Re-instate Factory calibration, section 9.2.6.

E2.Er

EEPROM error (see section 8.4)

Return to factory for repair

E2.Fr

Write frequency too high

Refer to section 4.3.12

EE.Er

Non-volatile memory error

Note the error and contact your supplier

E.Lin

Invalid input type.

Go to the INPUT list in configuration level and set a valid thermocouple or input type

Emod

OP1, OP2, or OP3 has been changed

If this has been field changed by the installation of a new board, enter configuration level, then exit back to operator level.

If the message occurs at any other time return to factory for repair.

E.tUn

Autotune error

An autotune has been unsuccessful. This message can take around two hours to be shown. Check that the loop is closed, the controller is in Auto mode and the controller outputs and the loop itself respond correctly when changes are made to the setpoint. If this message occurs, FAIL will also be shown in the A.tUn parameter in Level 2, section 4.6.2. To clear E.tUn change A.tUn to off.

Auto-tune is described in section 7.2.
