      Overweight Fault

      Discover the potential causes for the above-mentioned fault as well as the prescribed corrective actions.

      Handling actuator cables and connections while the ACM is powered on could cause injury or death. This equipment operates under extremely high voltages. Always turn off the system's power by unplugging the ACM power cord before touching it.

      You must ask for D-BOX Support's authorization prior to opening the main cover of an ACM. Opening the main cover of an ACM without formal authorization voids the warranty.
