Most problems or fault occurring are about the biological process in the cylinder. If there is a problem
with the machinery it almost every time results in problem with the biological process and therefore it
is very important to quickly define the problem and repair the composter.
Note! Resetting the alarm in the Operator panel only resets the Operator panel, making it possible
to adjust settings, using manual mode etc. It does not reset the fuse and does solve the actual
problem. This has to be done for each fuse/fault respectively in the electrical cabinet. If the fault
has not been taken care of, the alarm text will re-appear after a set time (default time is 5 minutes)
or when trying to run the motor and the fuse trips again.
