Diagnosing EN 08 code on APeX controller

EN codes are the APeX controllers primary way of signaling an entrapment condition with the system. These codes range from EN 00, to EN 14. We will discuss each of these codes, their meanings, and possible solutions in periodic blog posts. Comments and questions are welcomed and encouraged to help you understand the automatic gate system you are working on as thoroughly as possible.

The EN08 code is activated any time an input is triggered during an entrapment lockout condition. This means the automatic gate system received an input to open, close, or a safety, during an already established "EN" code. Any previous blog posts for EN codes can be found here.

All error codes, and diagnostics can now be managed remotely with the Rotary IQ.
