Instrument information

” .

The following display will appear:

This display shows information about the firmware installed.
If any function failure occurs then an Error message is displayed, e.g.: if communication with the instrument is not
successful.

In this case check that all DILAP21 PCB connectors are correctly connected – specifically J15 connector. If all these
connections are correct then substitute PCB (see ref. para. 3.8.3.).
