• If you see [`Er5], cycle power to the controller. If the error persists, call the factory.
• Be aware of the difference between U.S and European thermocouple color/colour codes.
• Reversed polarity input leads is one of the most common errors.

2. A photocopy of pages 51-58 with the settings from your control, if possible.
