Technical Information

Error messages

The red status LED indicates an error condition (FAIL status).
It is possible to know which error conditions occurred through RS232/485 serial
communication (Error Code window).
To reset an error, the pump can be switched off and on again or, if operating via
serial communication, the reset can be obtained by issuing a STOP command.
If the error conditions persist, the FAIL will come back as soon as the pump is
restarted.

485 manages the address field. The pump is factory set to communicate through
RS 232 interface. In order to communicate through RS485 is necessary to select
the type of communication as well as the device address by means of the A-plus
