Safety functions 
F1 - Overloading 
In order to prevent overloading of the drive motor and 
resulting danger to the operator the RM200 is provided with a
load control. 
This continuously measures the actual motor load and 
indicates this in the load control display. In case of overloading
the load control switches off the machine in good time and
guarantees a cooling time. This is indicated to the operator by
the alternately flashing display F1 and the remaining cooling
time, e.g. 03 = 3 minutes. 
After the cooling time has elapsed it is only necessary to 
switch the machine off and on again to operate it normally
again. 
 
F4 – Hood open 
If the hood is open the drive should not run. This serves to 
protect the operator from injury. If the hood is opened while
the machine is running the drive is immediately switched off
by the controller and “F4” appears in the display. If the start
button is pressed with the hood open in order to start the
milling operation F4 is also displayed and the drive is not
started. 
This signal can be deleted by pressing the stop button. 
 
F5 –Keyboard control 
If one or more buttons are accidentally pressed for longer than 
15 seconds the drive is switched off by the controller and F5 is
displayed. 
This function is intended to prevent unintentional faulty 
operation if an object accidentally presses on the keyboard. 
In order to delete this fault signal switch the machine off and 
on again once. 
 
F6 – Switch control for hood switch 
If the switch which controls hood opening has a lead defect 
this is recognised by the controller and causes the machine to
be switched off. “F6” appears in the display. To remedy this
fault repairs by an authorised Retsch service technician are
required.
