Battery voltage is too low at initial key switch 
closure. 

This status code will be displayed when the 
battery volts are less than 68.3 volts at initial key 
switch on.

SYMPTOM 

Control will not operate.  
 

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

Discharged battery 

=

Check battery voltage to confirm that it is a 
minimum of 68.3 volts.  Charge battery, if 
required. 

 
Defective battery 

=

Check each battery cell for proper voltage 
(greater than 1.95 volts at cell). Replace or 
repair battery. 

 
Incorrect control card adjustment. 

=

Check Function 15 for proper adjustment for 
battery being used. See Handset  instruction 
sheet for details. Adjust to proper settings. 

 
Check “minimum” battery volts at P1 & NEG.
