2. When the STOP LED is steadily yellow, turn the switch to the MRES position (switch
position 3). The STOP LED starts to flash slowly (slow yellow flashing).
Wait until the STOP LED stops flashing.
3. Turn the selector back to the STOP setting.
4. You must turn the selector back to the MRES position again within 3 seconds. The memory
reset will now be performed.
The SIMOTION D4x5‑2 has completed the memory reset when the STOP LED is steadily
yellow.
Note
If you do not return the mode switch to the MRES position (switch position 3) within 3
seconds, but take longer, then the memory reset may not be performed. You must then
repeat the procedure.
5. Now move the mode switch back to the required operating mode.
