  or
- Fault memory erased
NOTE: If the following message appears in display zone -1-: "Fault memory not yet interrogated", this means that the sequence of operations has not been precisely observed. The fault memory cannot be erased until it has been interrogated.
NOTE: Is function to be implemented? Note: Data will be erased:
- Touch "OK" key on display -2-.
- End function "05 - Erasing fault memory" by touching --> key.
- Interrogate fault memory again on completion of repair work and erase if necessary.

NOTE: This erases faults stored during fault elimination e.g. due to connectors being disconnected.
