Error messages 

All  error  messages  start  with  the  letter  'E'  and  a  two-digit  error  number.  The  device  errors  are  divided  into 
different categories, depending on the degree of severity. Critical errors require a change in programming or 
operating conditions in most cases. Fatal errors indicate a serious hardware fault. The device must be checked.
