• Make sure the correct valve wire
and common wire are used
• After making repairs follow the
“Verify biSensor Communication”
instructions under Step 1 at the end
of this section
Er2 is displayed The S100 has detected excessive
current while trying to communicate
with the biSensor • Double-check the wiring and
connections to the biSensor
• Make sure the common and
biSensor wires are correctly
connected
• Check for a faulty valve solenoid
• After making repairs follow the
“Verify biSensor Communication”
instructions under Step 1 at the end

set a non-optimal threshold
Er5 is displayed An interruption of the 24-hour
moisture threshold calibration
occurred due to attempted valve
activation • Check the valve the biSensor is
connected to for proper operation
• After making repairs follow the
instructions under Step 5 at the end

during 24-hour moisture threshold
calibration)
Er6 is displayed Unexpectedly low reading during 24-
