Troubleshooting and Error Indications
The FB1000 detects and reports several events and conditions that are considered errors. The
FB1000 will stop any run in process and display "ERROR XX" where XX is one of the below
listed errors. When the FB1000 is displaying an error indication, press the gray ON/OFF key to
clear the error and return to setup mode, or press the Run key to resume the run (after correcting
the cause of the error). Note that loss of AC power during a run is considered an error condition.
Always stop a run before turning off AC power to the FB1000.
