When set to yes, this button 
is displayed on the Bend Numerical Page, and gives access to the TouchProfile Mode.
When set to yes, this parameter gives access to the L-Alpha Mode (see page 34). This 
button is then displayed on the TouchProfile Mode page.
This parameter, when activated, lets the operator see the state of the part before and after the bend in the Automatic Bend Sequencing (optional) page.
This parameter allows choosing the display on the Bend Numerical Page.
When set to all in one, all the parameters related to the part or the current bend (see Available functions on the Bend Num page) are displayed on the Bend Numerical Page.
When set to “More page”, this button 
appears on the Bend Numerical Page, and gives access to the special page shown below.
When set to yes, this parameter displays a manual button on the left side of the screen, giving direct access to the Manual Axes Movement page.
Touching Materials opens the Materials page, where the default characteristics for each material can be changed, or a new material can be configured.
This page may not be available, depending on the machine parameters’ configuration. To be allowed to access the Materials page, a level 2 password is required
The Materials page displays:
• Material: Selected material (here Steel).
• Default thickness for the material.
• Default sigma: Default sigma for the material (here 45).
• Displayed: If the material will be available to be selected for use (here yes).
• K DIN 6935: Allows to correct the blank length accordingly to DIN 6935. • Predefined thickn.: Allows defining up to 7 different predefined thicknesses for the selected material.
• Thickness min/max: Determines the maximum and minimum accepted thickness for the selected material.
Three predefined default materials are available (steel, stainless steel, aluminium), but others can be added.
To add a material:
1. Touch Material and select a non-configured material (Mater X) from the list.
2. Enter the new material’s characteristics.
3. Touch the name (Mater X) to display the keyboard and enter the name of the new material.
This parameter allows the operator to apply a permanent correction to the Bottom Dead Centre position.
Please note that this correction is always applied and is NOT shown in the correction page. If you experience big differences from what you expect to get, maybe check the value of this parameter.
When activated, this function allows communication between the CybTouch and a laptop computer, onto which Cybelec’s RFLink dongle is plugged in. This function’s default status is off, and it is automatically reset to off every time the NC is turned on.
When activated, this function clears the index and the machine will search for them, as it does when turning the power on, allowing the operator to re-index its machine without turning it off.
When this parameter is set to yes, it is possible to browse the USB key from the USB transfer screen (see USB Transfer).
This parameter allows defining the default value displayed in the Extra Bending Parameters when activating the back-gauge retraction function.
In TouchProfile Mode, when a retraction is necessary, the numerical control will automatically calculate and activate the function. The calculated value can naturally be manually modified.
Allows the user to set the time and date on the CybTouch.
As a tall operator will tend to touch higher than a smaller one on the screen, this function allows the calibration of the touch screen, and also makes sure that it is operating correctly.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Simply follow the instructions on the page to calibrate the touchscreen.
Use your finger or the plastic tip of a pen to calibrate the Touchscreen. Never use sharp objects as this will damage the screen.
When this parameter is set to yes, the Offset Pinch Point function is available in the Extra Bending Parameters.
Here the brightness of the screen for normal mode and Eco mode can be defined:
1. Touch the mode for which you want to modify the brightness.
2. Use the
buttons to set the brightness.
This parameter allows defining the counting mode of the part counter. When set to up, the counter will count up to the desired number. When set to down, the counter will count
from the desired number down to 0.
The counter stops the cycle when total is reached. The value of the counter is automatically memorized when the numerical control is shut down.
This function allows choosing the data entry mode for the back gauge on the Bend Numerical Page or EasyBend Page. When set to yes, the length of the flange 
icon is displayed by default. When set to no, the icon for the position in mm of the back gauge
is displayed.
When set to never, the position of the back gauge is no longer linked to the bending angle, i.e. the position is never recalculated when the bending angle is modified.
The default value for this preference is never. Note that completely formatting the machine will reset this preference to its default value.
The mode 
is not available for graphical parts (see also Set point back gauge (X axis) / flange length).
This parameter controls the recalculation of the axes position values when a part is loaded. It is useful when there is a possibility that something has changed, like dimensions of tools or back gauge, since the last time the program was run. The default value for this parameter is no.
Corrections remain the same. We emphasize again the good practice of using corrections (see Bending and Corrections) to fine tune a program. In this case, even if modifications have happened, the part will be recalculated and properly bent.
MANUAL AXES MOVEMENT
In the course of setting up a machine, it is sometimes necessary to be able to move the axes manually, for example when changing the tooling. This can be done on this page.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Select the axis that you want to move:
• for the back-gauge X axis.
• 
for the back-gauge R axis.
• 
for the crowning axis.
• 
or 
for the tool clamping devices (if available).
2. Touch the 
buttons to move the selected axis.
The button needs to be kept pressed for two seconds to change the
status of the clamping devices.
3. Use the foot switch (Low Speed Down movement) and this button 
(High Speed Up) to move the beam.
When the padlock is open 
, it is possible to select and move (Low Speed Down movement) Y1 or Y2 only. This is an easy way to return an unsynchronized beam back to parallel to the table.
Allows the operator to manually adjust the position of the back gauge (axes X and R) and the beam (axes Y1 and Y2).
A level 2 password is required to use this function. It must be used with utter care and only by experienced personnel. Wrong settings may mechanically damage the machine.
Settings are lost after indexing the machine.
The Maintenance page displays the hardware status of the CybTouch and lets the operator perform different maintenance actions.
All the following actions require codes and should only be performed by technicians or upon request of a technician.
Defrag
This function will rearrange the memory space of the CybTouch. Simply touch it and follow
the instructions given in the yellow pop-up window.
Format
This function will erase all data in the CybTouch. Only use this with the help of a technician.
Before using this function, make sure that all your files have been transferred outside the CybTouch (see USB Transfer, page 19).
Internal backup
This function is specially designed for OEM and support.
Usually a machine parameters’ backup is made by the machine manufacturer or the company who services the machine. This backup allows a maintenance technician to restore
original working parameters if necessary.
Should there be a need to restore parameters, call on a maintenance technician and follow his instructions.
Do not try to use this function unless you are in dire need.
The Information page displays the names and versions of the software installed on the CybTouch. Pressing the Advanced button shows more detailed information.
Touching this menu opens the following page, where one can find the computer’s identification and manage the machine’s options.
Serial number
This is the serial number of the CybTouch. It is entered at the factory at the end of the machine’s initial setup and is related to the machine’s option list.
Changing the serial number means that all the options installed on the machine can be lost.
Computer ID
This line displays an identification code that is unique to each CybTouch and guarantees, together with the serial number, a correct identification of the machine.
Option list
This function opens a yellow pop-up window where all the options installed on the CybTouch are displayed.
New option code
The function opens an alphanumerical pad where the code of the new option must be entered. The format of an option code is ABC-DEF-GHI-JKLM
(Menu Button) → Other menus → USB transfer
This function opens the USB transfer screen, which allows the operator to transfer data
between the CybTouch and a USB key
Copying parameters from USB to NC requests a level 3 password or, for end- users, the restore password.
For a smooth transfer, please take the following precautions into consideration:
• The USB port of the CybTouch is meant to be used only with a storage media of the "Memory stick" type.
• The port is a standard USB 2.0 port, USB 1.1 compatible.
• USB 3.0 key that are USB 2.0 compatible, should normally work. There’s however no guarantee, as it depends of the firmware of these new keys.
• CD and external HDD are not accepted.
• Although unlikely, it is possible to find a USB key that is not compatible with the CybTouch. If so, try with another one.
3 rules for a fast and easy transfer:
➢ Use a USB key dedicated to files transfer with the CybTouch.
➢ Less files means a faster transfer.
➢ The file’s path on the key is limited to 255 characters.
CybTouch 12 is delivered with Cybelec’s off-line software PC-ModEva, which controls most of the other numerical controls produced by Cybelec.
From version T on PC-ModEva includes CybTouchConverter (see page 42), which allows you to convert parts to the CybTouch format and import them into your machine with the above-mentioned function.
The Bend Numerical Page is normally the working page, from which the bends are executed, and most of the navigation originates from and leads to.
Program number
Current step (sequence) number
Set-point back gauge (X axis) / flange length
The CybTouch has two different modes to manage the back-gauge X axis. Touching one of the icons on the left allows going from one mode to another. The two modes are:
The relative mode is activated/deactivated by pressing the back-gauge icon for 2 seconds.
Relative movement is not possible on the first sequence (neither on Easy Bend) or on graphical parts.
User Preference Show L first allows choosing which mode is displayed by default first.
Set-point back gauge (R axis – optional)
The value of the vertical position of the back gauge (R axis) is calculated by the CybTouch. It is displayed in grey. It can however be manually modified but is then displayed in black.
It is possible to restore the calculated value simply by erasing the manually entered value in the numerical pad 
. The message “Default/Recalculate” appears at the top of the screen. Just press validate 
on the numerical pad.
The lower part of the Bend Numerical Page displays parameters related to the part, and depending on the CybTouch configuration and the type of action performed, it also displays various settings for the current bend.
Material
Material thickness
If on the other hand, the parameter Predefined thickn. (see page 11) is set to yes, a touch on this icon will open a numerical pad as show to the right, where the operator will be able to select directly
one of the predefined thicknesses.
This is a part parameter.
Material sigma
Back gauge retractation
Speed change threshold and bending speed
Bending length
If this parameter is not activated (grey), the CybTouch will not calculate the bending Force and the Crowning.
Step bending
Programming 99 x will automatically calculate the maximum possible step bends. The resulting value may be reduced. However, if it is increased over the maximum calculated value, the resulting radius and angle will be drastically affected.
The large radius bending function is deactivated when this field is greyed.
Slow speed return
This parameter allows slowing down the speed of the beam after the bend and is generally used when the part has a long flange and the operator tries not to let it “fall down too fast”.The beam will return at low speed up while the operator holds the foot pedal. It switches to high speed up when either the pedal is released or Pinch Point is reached, whichever comes first.
When this field is deactivated (grayed), the beam moves back up directly at HSU (High Speed Up).
Dwell time
Allows defining the duration of the dwell time, meaning the time during which the punch remains at BDC before coming back up.When the icon is crossed 
, it means that there is no automatic return of the beam after TDC. This is a sequence parameter, meaning it can be modified with each step of the program.When this field is deactivated (greyed), the default Dwell Time value defined in the machine parameters are applied.
Force
Opening (TDC)
For parts created with a profile (see TouchProfile Mode or L-Alpha Mode), this value is automatically calculated to allow the operator enough room to extract its bent part from between the tools. It is however possible to change it manually.
For part created manually (see Numerical Mode), this parameter uses the default minimum value defined in the machine parameters. It can however be programmed here.
Creating a “New part” reinitializes it to its default value.
When this field is deactivated (grayed), the beam moves back all the way up to its maximum limit switch.
Crowning
Back gauge finger type
Number of parts
Back gauge manual control
Offset Pinch Point
This function allows copying a defined value to all the steps of the current program. It appears in the numerical pad of relevant fields, such as Bending length, Force, Bending and Corrections, etc.
It is also possible to use the Copy to All function with fields that do not require a numerical pad, such as Back gauge manual control, by simply holding the button for 2 seconds. The Copy to All button is then displayed on top of the screen as shown here.
Tools management allows the creation and configuration on the CybTouch of the tools to be used on the machine. These tools are then considered in bend calculations.
Once a punch and die are created and selected, you can select the bend angle you require as well as the flange length (L). The CybTouch then calculates the positions for axes X and Y for the bend.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS:
To select a punch, simply browse through the existing punches in your library using the arrows buttons, and then return to Bend Numerical Page.
If no punch is yet created, the punch will have no name (??? is displayed). If a punch already exists, then the last punch used will be selected, here 60_S_i (modifications will not alter the existing punch as they will be saved under another name).
1. Touch the punch icon 
to access the punch details.
2. Enter the basic characteristics (α (punch angle), Height, Radius and Ton/m) for the new punch to be created.
3. Touch the 
button to invert the punch if necessary.
4. Select the 
or 
icon to define the tool as resistant for bottoming.
5. Touch the button to display the More page.
6. Select the punch type (straight, normal or gooseneck) with this icon 
.
7. Enter the more specific dimensions L1 to Lx by referring to the graphic representation on the right of the screen. Touching this image will display the default representation of the tool, making it easier to identify the various dimensions.
The dimensions L1 to Lx are the same as the ones used in PC 1200, DNC 880S,
ModEva’s. If you use the same tools, print them from PC1200 to easily program them in the CybTouch. Of course, consider giving the same tools the same name.
8. Enter the following values:
• Safety XS: Security distance between the tool and the back gauge for X axis.
• X correction: If the punch is not perfectly aligned.
9. Return to previous page 
.
To be allowed to save a tool, a level 2 password is required.
10. Touch the punch name (here 60_S_i).
11. Touch Save punch to overwrite the existing tool or Save punch as if you want to save your tool under another name.
12. Enter the name of the new punch using the alphanumerical keypad. We recommend that you follow the naming conventions explained in Naming Tools.
13. Touching the 
button brings you back to the program page, with the punch you just saved being selected and ready to be used.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Selecting a die is the same as selecting a punch; simply browse through the existing dies in your library using the arrows buttons, and then return to Bend Numerical Page.
If no die is yet created, the die will have no name (??? is displayed). If a die already exists, then the last one used will be selected, here 30_12 (modifications will not alter the existing die as they will be saved under another name).
1. Touch the die icon 
to access the die details.
2. Enter the basic characteristics (Ve (die width), α, Height, Radius and Ton/m) for the new die to be created.
3. Touch the 
button to invert the die if necessary.
4. Select the 
or 
icon to define the tool as resistant for bottoming.
5. Touch the button to display the More page.
6. Enter the more specific dimensions L1 to Lx by referring to the graphic representation on the right of the screen. Touching this image will display the default representation of the tool, making it easier to identify the various dimensions.
The dimensions L1 to Lx are the same as the ones used in PC 1200, DNC 880S, ModEva’s. If you use the same tools, print them from PC1200 to easily program them in the CybTouch. Of course, consider giving the same tools the same name.
7. Enter the following values:
• Safety XS: Security distance between the tool and the back gauge for X axis.
• Safety RS: Security distance between the tool and the back gauge for R axis.
• Retr. zone: Retraction zone.
8. Return to previous page .
To be allowed to save a tool, a level 2 password is required.
9. Touch the die name (here 30_12).
10. Touch Save die to overwrite the existing tool or Save die as if you want to save
your tool under another name.
11. Enter the name of the new die using the alphanumerical keypad.
We recommend that you follow the naming conventions explained in Naming Tools.
12. Touching the button brings you back to the program page, with the die you just saved being selected and ready to be used.
It is recommended that you use naming conventions for your tools.
Below you will find a simple convention allowing you to precisely identify a punch or die through its name.
Of course, depending on your needs you may need to create more rules for punch and die naming.
The name of the punch should be built in the following manner: first its angle, followed by its type, and then whether it is inverted or not.
Following these rules, here are some examples of punch names: 90_N_i, 60_G, 30_S, and so on, and so forth.
The name of the die should be built in pretty much the same manner: first its width (Ve dimension), followed by its angle, and then whether it is inverted or not.
Following these rules, here are some examples of die names: 12_86_i, 16_86, 20_30, and so on, and so forth.
If the operator needs to intervene on the machine’s back gauges, he can use the back-gauge cycle function, which will bring them all the way forward. He will then be able to work on them without having to put his hands and arms between the tools.
This function may not be available, depending on the machine’s configuration. The function’s icon is only visible when the machine is indexed.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Make sure the machine is indexed. This button 
is not available when it is not the case.
2. Press the back-gauge cycle button for more than 2 seconds to initiate the cycle.
3. The back gauges position themselves all the way forward, between the tools. If the beam is not at TDC, it will move first all the way up before the back gauges begin to move.
4. Once the intervention is done, touch the cycle button 
again to deactivate the function, and press the 
button.
There are three ways to create a program part: with the TouchProfile Mode, with the Numerical Mode, and with the L-Alpha Mode.
In this chapter the machine is considered operational: machine parameters, tools (see Tools Management), materials (see Materials), etc. are already configured and programmed.
In this mode, the operator can very intuitively draw a profile directly on the screen.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Touch the program number, select New program in the list, and touch Graphical.
2. First select the material, the Material thickness (see page 22) and the tools to be used for the part by touching their respective icons.

icon will open a yellow pop-up, in which it possible to:
• Activate (and deactivate) a special tool by touching its icon, and select it from a list by pressing?
• Change the value of the radius (see also Step bending) and define how many steps the NC will make to execute it.
6. Should it prove difficult to select a particular segment or angle, it is possible to zoom on an area by touching this 
button and then on the desired zone.
One can also choose to enter the length and angle values in the L-Alpha Mode page by pressing this 
button.
7. Once all the segments and angles are adjusted, press this button to access Bend Sequencing.
BEND SEQUENCING
Once the shape of the part has been defined, the bending sequence for the part can be determined.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. If available, touch the bend sequence calculation button 
. Once the sequence is calculated, the Bend 2D screen is displayed.
2. If the option is not installed, simply touch the bend in the order that you want them performed. A small number is displayed on the bend, indicating its position in the sequence.
Pressing the back 
button will erase the last bend in the sequence. If you wish to delete all bends, simply touch the button.
3. Immediately after determining the last bend to be selected, the Bend 2D screen here below is displayed.

5. Enter the value for the first segment’s length and touch the button to add another step.
Click on OK when prompted to create new step.
6. Proceed in the same manner for all steps and angles of the profile.
7. If a bend needs special parameters (large radius, special tool), press in the more field of the corresponding sequence.
A special punch or /and die means there must be an additional working station.
8. A yellow pop-up is displayed, in which it possible to:
• Activate (and deactivate) a special tool by touching its icon and select it from a list by pressing ???
• Change the value of the radius (see also Step bending) and define how many steps the NC will make to execute it.
9. A small More icon shows that something special is programmed on the bend.
10. To remove the icon (and special parameters), return to the yellow popup, touch all the activated functions to make them turn gray, and select OK.
11. Once all the segments and angles are adjusted, press this button to access Bend Sequencing.
All program corrections are made in the Bend Numerical Page. According to his preferences, the operator can choose to execute all the steps of the program one after the other, making corrections along the way. Or he can choose to apply all the corrections necessary to the same step before moving to the next one using the SemiAutomatic mode.
Corrections can be made to:
• The angle (Y1 + Y2, see Angle Correction (Y axis) and/or crowning if available, see Crowning),
• The back-gauge position (X and R, if available), see Back gauge (X & R axes) Correction.
The semi-automatic mode allows repeating the same sequence indefinitely. It is used when the operator wants to apply corrections to his part one bend after another. He can
thus execute the same step until he gets the desired result, before moving to the next one by means of the button.
The semi-automatic mode is activated (and deactivated) by touching for more than one second on the 
button.
After physically measuring the angle, if corrections are to be made, they must be done on this page, and not directly in the program step.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Touch the angle correction icon 
and enter the physically measured value of the angle. The numerical control will automatically calculate the Y1 and Y2 axes corrections.
Pressing this 
button will reset all angle corrections.
2. Depending on the position of the sheet metal in the press, it may be necessary to fine-tune the beam’s corrections. It is possible by simply touching this icon 
or this one 
and entering the desired values.
3. Corrections to the crowning value can be made by touching this icon .
4. The numerical control automatically calculates the Pinch Point height. If it needs correction, it can be done by touching this icon 
.
The greyed value next to the Pinch Point correction icon is the value calculated by the numerical control, and thus the value onto which the correction will be applied.
5. Touching this icon 
allows applying a correction to the back-gauge X axis position.
6. Touching this icon allows applying a correction to the back-gauge R axis position.
The greyed values next to the back-gauge correction icons are the value calculated by the numerical control, and thus the values onto which the corrections will be applied.
The back-gauge positions corrections can also directly be made on the Bend Numerical Page.
This function allows the operator to run two, or several, part-programs one after another.
This is very handy when one wants to make a three-dimensional part, like a box for example, or make a final product composed of several parts.
The CybTouch will execute the current program. At the end of the last sequence, instead of returning to the first sequence of the current program, the CybTouch switches to the program selected as P+nn (i.e. the next one). It goes on like this, as long as a part is programmed with a next one.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. To activate the Next-Part function, touch the Program number (e.g. P1) and keep it pressed until the following numerical pad is displayed.
2. Enter the number of the program that must be executed at the end of the current one.
3. Save the program (see Saving a Program).
It is naturally possible to cycle the programs, meaning that the program following the last one is the first one. There are however some specificities to take into consideration when one wants to produce certain number of cycled programs.
In the diagram above, an assembly needs 3 programs to be completed: program 1 is followed by program 2, which in turn is followed by program 3. To complete the cycle, program 3 is programmed to be followed by program 1. In such a case, the value of the part counter will be updated (see Number of parts) of 1 unit when it goes from
program 3 to program 1.
The CybTouch is designed like this: every time the program following the current one has a smaller number, the counter value is changed.
When a series of programs corresponds to one single part, make sure that their intrinsic numbers increase chronologically.
CybTouchConverter is a tool allowing the conversion of products/parts files from PC-ModEva (formerly PC1200) to CybTouch. Owners of Cybelec’s ModEva type machines can thus produce the same parts on a ModEva or a CybTouch.
1. Check that the version of PC-ModEva installed on your PC is recent enough to contain CybTouchConverter.
2. Activate the CybTouch Converter function in the machine parameter
3. In the List of Products’ page, start the CybTouch Converter.
4. Select the destination folder for the converted files.
5. Select the part(s) that you want to convert and touch this 
button.
6. The program-parts are now converted and located on your PC or USB key. They can be directly transferred on the CybTouch, using the USB Transfer.
Because the production of parts follows cycles, the programs related to those parts need to be managed. They need to be stored, called into function, and so on.
On the CybTouch, the Program number is displayed on the top left corner of different pages. Touching it will open the following menu:
After creating a program, an operator can save the program in order to use it again:
1. Touch the Program number (e.g. P0).
2. Touch Save program.
3. Enter the number you wish to give to the program (e.g. 1 for P1), followed by .
4. The program is now called P1 and is saved in the CybTouch.
To create a new program:
1. Touch the Program number (e.g. P1).
2. Touch New program.
3. A yellow pop-up windows asks what kind of program:
» Selecting Graphical will open a new program in the TouchProfile Mode.
» Selecting Numerical will open a new program in the Numerical Mode.
To call (load) a program:
1. Touch the Program number (e.g. P1).
2. Touch Call program.
3. Select the program to be loaded from the list (e.g. 002 for P2).
4. The selected program (P2) is then loaded into the work memory and is ready to be used.
To delete a program:
1. Touch the Program number (e.g. P1).
2. Touch Delete program.
3. Select from the list the program to be deleted.
4. Touch to confirm.
This function allows browsing visually through the programs and is particularly useful for graphic parts.
To browse programs:
1. Touch the Program number (e.g. P21).
2. Touch Browse programs.
3. Browse through programs using the and.
4. Validate your choice by touching the browsing icon.
The browsing function remains active as long as the browsing icon is displayed.
Touching anything else but the and arrows will close the browsing mode.
The EasyBend page is used for individual bends, for example when an external worker needs to interrupt production just to make a single bend (usually with the same tools).
The program currently being used for production is only temporarily interrupted (no need to save it) when switching to the EasyBend page, and then resumed again when returning to the program page (Menu Button → Current program).
See Basic Page Description for more information on the different controls on the EasyBend page.
SETTING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Touch the material’s name (here Steel). There are displayed. Select the Material used, enter the Material thickness and the Bending length.
2. Touch one of the tool’s icon ( or ) to select a punch or die. To learn how to configure tools, please refer to section Tools Management.
3. Enter the angle 
for the bend you wish to create (here 90°).
4. Enter the flange’s length (here 115.00 mm).
5. Enter the back-gauge height value (here 45.50 mm)
6. Press this button to go to the Extra Bending Parameters and enter the eventually required extra data for the bend.
7. Start the hydraulic pump motor (by pressing this button if available. It turns red when the motor is running).
8. Press the button to position the machine according to the data that were just entered.
9. When the machine is ready to bend, a button is displayed.
10. Press the foot switch to execute the bend.
Following is a list of warning and error messages which may be displayed on the interactive message line of the CybTouch. There are two types of messages:
• Warning Messages, which are displayed on a green background.
They are information or instructions that will disappear automatically.
• Error Messages (machine or NC errors), which are displayed on a red background. They inform the user of an error occurring on the machine or NC, and sometimes require intervention by the end user or a technician.
When reporting error messages, please ALWAYS indicate the complete message, including eventual numbers between brackets [ ], and of course the error number at the end of the line. This number also refers to the first column in the section below.
This table does not contain an exhaustive list of all the errors related to beam. If the message number is not explained here, please write it down and contact your dealer.
This kind of messages appears if a serious error occurred. The display automatically switches to a page as shown below.
If such an error occurs,
• Write down the error number and press the Restart button.
• If the error remains, turn the machine off and let it cool down before restarting it.
• If the error still remains, write down the error number and contact your dealer.
