Error codes / error display Message Meaning Error E 1 Invalid input value. Error E 2 Error E 3 Measuring value of the probe is too small ! If current is less than 3.7 mA => Probe error. Measuring value is too high for zero-point calibration or offset calibration. The probe must not be plunged ! A probe current higher than 4.3 mA indicates a defective probe. Error E 4 Call step ‘9.Offset probe’ and perform the calibration once. Then retry settings.
For device type NET / QUATTRO NET: Info/Error-Messages at network communication Error N 1 No network communication. A problem at the internal network module. The device automatically executes a ’Reset’ for the internal network module and retrys initial communications. Try disconnection of network plug, wait… and remount the network plug. Error N 2 Error at the network communication. Check the connections at the device and at the network router... Check parameter setup at menu item ‘15.Network’...
For device type DATA GSM / QUATTRO GSM: Error messages of GSM module / SIM card / Mobile network Error M 0 GSM modem is inactive. Entering PIN => 0000 deactivates the modem completely. Error M 1 Internal communication error. The device automatically executes an internal RESET and retries communication with the internal modem again.

Order numbers: Device sets without level measuring probe: Item No.
Maintenance: It is recommended to check once a year if the displayed values are correct. Two practical check options are: - Lift the probe above the liquid level. Then check if ~ 0 L is displayed. - Check the cm value displayed in Step ‘10.Trim height’ (without trimming!). In case of deviation it is recommended to recalibrate the measuring probe via menu step 9 or 10. If the problem cannot be fixed the level probe might be defective. In this case please directly contact Tecson.
