How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Configuration issues do not usually affect electrical safety, but do not change protection settings beyond installation limits.

  • 1. Attempt soft reset:
    • Use the local interface or app to perform a soft reset or restore default settings (if available).
  • 2. Power cycle:
    • Turn off the breaker for 60 seconds and restore power.
    • Check if E18 clears.
  • 3. Reapply configuration:
    • Log in with installer credentials and re‑enter key parameters (supply type, max current, RFID settings).
  • 4. Firmware reflash:
    • If allowed, reload the latest firmware from Heidelberg using the official tool.
  • 5. Replace main board if memory faulty:
    • If configuration cannot be saved or E18 persists, the non‑volatile memory on the main control board may be defective and the board should be replaced.
