The machine stops during operation. The following texts appear on display: ERR01 : High circuit board temperature (Inverter).
Possible cause What to do High circuit board temperature (Inverter). Wait for it cool down, then restart. Source: IMER manual 3234489 R01, page 11
The machine stops during operation. The following texts appear on display: ERR02 : High screw pump motor temperature.
Possible cause What to do High screw pump motor temperature. Wait for it cool down, then restart. The motor has been subjected to overloading for a long time. Correct the mixture in use. Source: IMER manual 3234489 R01, page 11
The machine stops during operation. The following texts appear on display: ERR03 : Too much power required from screw pump motor (motor jammed).
Possible cause What to do Too much power required from screw pump motor (motor jammed). Add water to mixture. Add binder to mixture. Use sand with optimized particle size curve. Remove blockage. Source: IMER manual 3234489 R01, page 11
The machine stops during operation. The following texts appear on display: ERR04 : Screw pump motor overload warning.
Possible cause What to do Screw pump motor overload warning. Use sand with optimized particle size curve. Add water to mixture. Add binder to mixture. Reduce screw pump motor speed. Ensure that the power voltage is in the range 200V to 230V when the machine is operating, that the power cables are properly rated and that no other equipment (cranes, lifts, saws, concrete mixers, etc.) is connected to the same supply. Qualified person: this fix involves electrical, pressure or engine work.
