5.4. ERROR MESSAGE “Err-1, 2, 3, 4, & 5,” INVALID OPERATION
Any time the control console senses an invalid operating condition, the console will display an error message indicating the invalid
condition. The format of this message is a continuous audible alarm accompanied by a display designating the Error number (1,
2, 3, 4, or 5).
5.4.1. ERROR MESSAGE “Err-1”
An “Err-1/Pump C or L” indicates the ARC is demanding a higher product flow rate than the vehicle can provide. Err-1 means
the flow control valve is fully open (or is no longer responding to an open command from the console). In addition a visual message
“TOO FAST” will flash on the display. Slowing down will usually clear this error condition.
5.4.2. ERROR MESSAGE “Err-2”
Contact the factory if this message is encountered with the ARC controller.
5.4.3. ERROR MESSAGE “Err-3”
The "Err-3/Pump C or L” message indicates the console is not receiving a signal from the flow sensor (or application rate sensor).
This could indicate a major problem, stop the vehicle, turn off all boom sections and look for the following possible faults.
A. On a sprayer (Pump L indication), the main tank has run dry or there is a rupture in the main boom supply line.
B. On a sprayer, there is an obstruction to flow in the main boom supply line. Check for obstructions and clear them, if
any are found. Possibly, a manual flow valve has been closed by mistake.
C. The flow control valve fails to open. Check for power, ground, and correct polarity. If there is no power at the flow
control valve, check the in-line fuse near the positive battery connection. Also inspect the wiring harness from the valve
to the battery. If there is power, ground and correct polarity, check the signal cable between the console and the flow
control valve for pinched or broken wires.
D. On a sprayer, the boom solenoid switches are failing to open the boom section valves. It is possible to have the console
indicate a boom section activated condition when, in fact, the boom section valve has not actually opened. Check to
ensure the boom valves are actually opening when the boom solenoid switches are actuated. If they are not, the most
likely cause of failure is a disruption in the wiring from the solenoid switches to the solenoid actuated valves.
E. If there is actual flow through the flowmeter on a sprayer, or rate sensor on a spreader is actually rotating, but the
console is not recognizing it, the most likely cause of problems is the wiring between the sensor and the control console.
Carefully check the integrity of the wiring . If the wiring appears to be intact, the next most likely cause is a failure in
the sensor mechanism itself.
F. If all the above checks are made and the system still doesn’t respond, contact your MID-TECH dealer, or the factory,
for additional help.
5.4.4. ERROR MESSAGE “Err 4”
Contact the factory if this message is encountered with the ARC controller.
