Error Codes 

Err 1

Err 2

Err 3

Flow rate is higher than 5 gpm.

Switch Error:  Error occurred with
pick-up in internal gear.  

This error

may occur if the flow range is too
high.

Unit had to default to factory-preset
values for calibration factors.  

This

error can occur only after you
replace the battery, and only if the
unit detects an input calibration fac-
tor that is out of the acceptable
range.

Adjust the flow rate so it is not higher
than 5 gpm.

Ensure that your flow rate is not
higher than 5 gpm.  For further assis-
tance, contact your Graco distributor.

If you changed the calibration factor
from the factory-preset value, ensure
that it is correct according to the
tables in Calculating the Calibra-
tion Factor
 on page 11.
