CodeLEDExplanation
Groeneveld Code
Dash
When ignition is switched ON the 3-digit display forms a rotating clock, indicating it’s communicating with the pump control unit. After 10 seconds the preset duty mode selection appears along with the green LED.
Groeneveld Code Light Duty
Dash
Light duty - Greasing mode with long intervals. (Decreased greasing output)

Dash
Medium duty - Greasing mode with medium intervals. (Normal greasing output)

Dash
Heavy duty - Greasing mode with short intervals. (Increased greasing output)
Pump performs a single cycle test (LED flashes slow). (See “Single greasing cycle test” on page 6).

E53
E53 due to clock errorControl unit encountered a corrupted real time clock causing the events and errors to be stored with in accurate time & dates caused by:

a) RTC battery empty
Replace control unit.

E99
E99 due to unknown cause. This error indication shows when pump motor is disconnected due to a number of successive errors but no additional info available on the error cause. Twin pumps manufactured before September 2010 cannot provide such information to the Twin- 3 display.Control unit encountered an unknown cause due to:

a) Display connected to a Twin-2 control unit (or a Twin-3 control unit with SW version 1063 or lower). Such a control unit does not supply additional info on the cause of the error like the Twin-3 pump does since SW version 1078

a) Replace control unit for one with a SW version 1078 or higher when the additional error information is required.

b) Replace control unit.
