be wired to a DRY contact for Injection Molding (Section 3.1) and Extruder - Constant
Applications (Section 3.1). For Extrusion - Proportional Applications (Extruder
Follower OPTION) see Section 3.5.
• Ensure the correct Configuration Codes have been entered to configure the Digital
Dosing unit for the process and installation, see Section 2.
A.2 Malfunctions - Error Codes

error code. The code consists of an “A,” followed by an error number. The control unit will
not operate until the malfunction or error has been corrected. To acknowledge and clear the
alarm, press the Stop key ( ). Once the malfunction is corrected, press to begin
dosing operations.
