connection and check slide plate is not jammed. 

 

F1 = Sensor Fault. No output is being received from sensor. Check plug / socket for dirt or corrosion 
preventing contact. Check sensor for damage or corrosion. The unit will continue to operate with this 
fault but will not count. To exit this fault condition once the problem has been identified turn the unit 
off.

ally should a fault occur, please contact your distributor or original equipment provider for assistance
