13.4.17 Kapitel/Chapter 16: Warnings and error messages - Seite/Page 141
16.2.3 Bus errors
If the communication connection is lost on the Fischer Panda bus, an error is output on the display after a period of
10 seconds:

communication (Fischer Panda bus)
This error will occur if at least one of the two data lines
of the Fischer Panda bus is disconnected. Once the
connection is restored, the error message can be
acknowledged with the Start/Stop button.
If the communication connection is lost, the generator shall be secured (open battery disconnect switches), and all
plug-in connections and cables shall be checked for firm seating or damage.
