Invalid start-up error Measures Pattern or the needle position is out of the embroidering area. Reset the embroidering area on the panel or move the hoop to the sewable position. This is not usually displayed. E-42 XY movement error E-43 I/F CPU failed to read EEPROM data Press the or turn on the F/B switch on the head to either side. If this error occurs frequently, check if the tension of the pulley belt is proper. Turn the power off and on once. If the same error occurs again, the main PC is faulty. E-44 Failed in the communication with inter-head CPU Press the or turn ON the F/B switch on the head to either side. If the same error occurs again, the connector of communication cable on the inter-head CPU may be disconnected. E-45 Failed in the communication with head CPU Press the or turn ON the F/B switch on the head to either side. If the same error occurs again, the connector of communication cable on the head CPU may be disconnected. E-46 Failed in the communication with XY CPU Press the or turn ON the F/B switch on the head to either side. If the same error occurs again, the main PCB is faulty. E-47 Failed in the communication with I/F CPU E-48 The main shaft rotated the opposite way E-49 Can not identify the machine model Press the or turn ON the F/B switch on the head to either side. If the same error occurs again, the main PCB is faulty. Turn OFF the power and check if the sensors of the encoder A and B are connected correctly, not mixed-up each other. If those connections are correct, then check if the pin connections of the main shaft motor connectors are correct. Turn OFF the power, check if the model identification harness is connected properly, and turn ON the power again. E-4A Failed in the communication with I/O CPU Press the or turn ON the F/B switch on the head to either side. If the same error occurs again, the connector of communication cable on the I/O PCB may be disconnected. E-A1 Spindle motor lock E-A2 E-A3 E-A4 E-A5 E-A6 E-A7 Main PC board temperature too high Spindle motor voltage too low Spindle motor voltage too high Spindle motor CPU error Spindle motor CPU communication command error Spindle motor CPU send/receive error E-A8 Spindle stop position signal error E-A9 E-B0 E-B1 Spindle CPU parameter error Lower shaft CPU error Thread tangle in rotary hook Press the or turn on the F/B switch on the head to either side. If it occurs frequently, the main shaft mechanism is faulty. This is not usually displayed. Adjust the pulley stop position (100 °) above the needle and press the . If the error occurs frequently, the parts related to the main shaft stop position sensor are faulty. This is not displayed in this model. 11-4 BE-1204B-BC • BE-1206B-BC
