10. TABLE OF ERROR CODES Data editing-related errors Code E500 E502 E510 E511 E512 E581 E582 E583 Cause and remedy The enlargement ratio setting caused the sewing data to extend outside the sewing area. Press the RESET key to clear the error. Set the enlargement ratio again. The enlargement ratio caused the data pitch to exceed the maximum pitch of 12.7 mm. Press the RESET key to clear the error. Set the enlargement ratio again. Error in pattern data. Press the RESET key to clear the error. Re-read the pattern data from the media, or recreate the pattern data. No end code has been input into pattern data. Press the RESET key to clear the error. Recreate the pattern data containing the end code, or change the pattern number being read. Number of stitches exceeds allowed maximum. Press the RESET key to clear the error. Change the number of the pattern being read. Memory switch file cannot be read correctly. Copy source model and copy destination model are incorrect. (Maybe the 430F is attempting to read data for the 438F.) Press the RESET key to clear the error. Read data for the same sewing machine model. Memory switch versions do not match. Press the RESET key to clear the error. Read data for the same version. Parameter versions do not match. Press the RESET key to clear the error. Read data for the same version. Device-related errors Code E690 E691 Cause and remedy Thread nipper motor home position cannot be detected. Problem with thread nipper motor or poor thread nipper encoder connection. Turn off the power, and then clean underneath the needle plate to remove any dust and thread scraps. Check that connector P20 on the main P.C. board is properly connected. Thread nipper retract position error. Check if the upper thread trailing length is too long. Turn off the power, and then clean underneath the needle plate to remove any dust and thread scraps. Check that connectors P20 and P4 on the main P.C. board are properly connected. P.C. board-related errors Code E700 E701 E705 E710 E711 Cause and remedy Abnormal rise in power supply voltage. Turn off the power and check the input voltage. Abnormal rise in sewing machine motor drive voltage. Turn off the power, and then check the voltage. Abnormal drop in power supply voltage. Turn off the power and check the input voltage. Abnormal current detected in sewing machine motor. Turn off the power, and then check if there are any problems with the sewing machine. Abnormal current detected in pulse motor. Turn off the power, and then check if there are any problems with the work clamp/button clamp operation. If an error code that is not listed above appears or if carrying out the specified remedy does not solve the problem, contact the place of purchase. 75 KE-430F, BE-438F
