Troubleshooting
Not working?
Parameter 620 [OPERATION MODE]/[INITIALIZE] can be used to rest all parameters to the default factory settings.
Procedure for intitialisation:

  1. Select initialisation (parameter 620)
  2. Press [OK]
  3. Disconnect mains power supply and wait for the light in the display to go out
