Warning
33 MinMax out of
range
Invalid parameter setting
detected. The setting lies
outside the range
defined for the device.
Max./Min. errors can
occur when the setting
ranges of the master and
slave differ due to
different software
versions. The error is
triggered when
transferring settings from
the master to the slave if
the setting from the
master lies outside the
valid setting range for
the slave. This error can
also occur when different
parameter files have
been used for updating
the devices (M/S).
Execute the Factory reset
function. Notify the Service
department if the error persists
and perform a software update if
necessary.
Warning
45 Ext. temp.
sense open
An open-circuit exists in
the external temperature
sensor cable.
Check the following points:
n External temperature sensor
cable correctly connected to
the controller?
n Cable open-circuit?
n External temperature sensor
damaged?
Warning
46 Ext. temp.
sense short
A short-circuit exists in
the external temperature
sensor cable.
Check the following points:
n External temperature sensor
cable correctly connected to
the controller?
n Short circuit in connecting
cable?
n External temperature sensor
damaged?
Warning
53 NTC ambient
open
Failure of the device-
internal temperature
measuring position used
for determining the
ambient temperature of
the battery.
Switch off the temperature
compensation (Expert menu).
Contact the Steca Service
department.
