Safety functions
F01 - Overloading
In order to avoid overloading of the drive motor and resulting 
endangerment to the user the MM 200 is fitted with a load monitoring 
device. 
In case of overloading the monitoring function switches the machine 
off in good time. 
At the end of the cooling time it is only necessary to switch the 
machine off and on again in order to be able to operate it normally 
again. 
F02 – Speed recognition, zero speed
If the drive does not start up after pressing the start button there is a 
fault in the system. Possible causes: drive blocked, motor or speed 
sensor defective. 
F03 – Speed recognition, overspeed
If the specified frequency is exceeded after starting, „F03” appears in 
the display and the machine is switched off. 
Possible causes of fault: defective speed sensor. 
F04 – Hood open
The drive must not run when the hood is open. This serves to protect 
the operator against injury. If the hood is opened when the machine 
is running the control unit switches the drive off immediately and 
“F04” appears in the display. If the start button is pressed with the 
hood open in order to start the milling process F04 is also displayed 
and the drive is not started. 
This alarm can be cancelled by pressing the stop button.
F05 –Keyboard monitor
If one or more buttons are pressed for longer than 15 seconds the 
control unit switches the drive off and displays “F05”. This function is 
intended to prevent unintentional faulty operation if any object 
accidentally presses on the keyboard. In order to cancel this fault 
alarm switch the machine off and on again once. 
F06 – Magnetic speed monitoring sensor
If one of the magnets that monitors speed is missing or defective, 
this will be detected by the control, which will then switch off the 
machine. “F06” will appear in the display. To eliminate this fault, it 
must be repaired by authorised Retsch service technicians. 
F07 – Magnetic switch – hood monitoring
If the magnetic switch which monitors hood opening has a
defect in the supply line this is recognised by the control unit
and causes the machine to be switched off. “F07” appears in
the display. To eliminate this fault repair by an authorised
Retsch service agent is necessary.General
