off using the front panel power button, let it sit for a 
few  seconds  and  power  it  back  up.  If  the  “FAULT” 
message  continues  to  appear,  please  contact  your 
dealer for additional service.

How do I reset the settings to factory default? 

The P1000 was designed to easily reset the micro-
processor back to the original factory default. If the 
P1000 is displaying any characters in the front panel 
that  seem  abnormal,  if  the  front  panel  buttons  do 
not correlate with the display read-outs or to simply 
reset all settings back to the factory defaults follow 
these instructions.

With  the  unit  powered  off,  hold  down  both  Mode 
buttons (Up and Down) and press the Power button. 
This will activate the Setup Display Mode. Using the 
Mode  Up  or  Down  buttons,  cycle  to  the  “RESET” 
mode.  Press  either  Edit  button  (Up  or  Down)  and 
the display will read “GO ->” to confirm the choice. 
Press either Edit button again to perform the reset 
function. Once it is complete, the P1000 will exit the 
Setup Display Mode automatically.
