6.1 Warning/status codes
The LED on the electronics housing shows the motor status with various
colors and flash codes. The flash codes have a frequency of 2 Hz.
Each flash code is followed by a pause lasting 3 seconds. The following
colors are used: Green: no warning or fault. Orange: There is a warning.
No user intervention is required for warnings. Red: There is at least one
error. See the following table. If there are multiple simultaneous errors,
their associated flash codes are displayed in succession. If there are
simultaneous warnings and errors, only the errors are displayed.
