Check the sensor function by spinning the fan wheel manually and checking the sensor LED. The LED should light up when the pin on the fan shaft passes by. The distance between the sensor and the indicator plate must be 1–2 mm. Adjust if necessary. A lit LED, however, is not necessarily any guarantee that the sensor is operating.

If the alarm only appears occasionally, this is probably because the sensor is either incorrectly adjusted or defective.
