Valve error 

Environmental error:

 An

 Environmental error

 can occur if there are any faults in 

the system that are connected to pressure, temperature, flow, or differential 
pressure.

 

System error:

 Whereas 

System error 

occurs when the voltage is less than 3.1V or 

in case of HW issues.
