Introduction
If your HVAC tool displays an E04 error code, it signals abnormal pressure conditions—often due to electrostatic interference or moisture damage. Left unresolved, this can lead to inaccurate readings or system failures. In this guide, we’ll explain the root causes, step-by-step solutions, and (if needed) a forced recovery method.
What Triggers the E04 Error?
1. Electrostatic Interference
a. Static electricity disrupts pressure sensors, causing false readings.
b. Common in dry environments or near electronic devices.
2. Moisture Damage
a. Humidity or liquid exposure corrodes internal circuits.
b. Likely if the tool was stored in damp conditions.
How to Fix the E04 Error
Step 1: Immediate Actions
1. Power Off the Tool
a. Avoid further damage by turning it off immediately.
2. Move to a Dry, Static-Free Area
a. Place the tool in a low-humidity environment away from electronics.
3. Wait 24 Hours
a. Let the tool dry completely and discharge residual static.
Step 2: Check for Recovery
After 24 hours, power the tool back on.
If the error persists, proceed to forced recovery (see below).
Forced Recovery (Use as a Last Resort)
Warning: This method resets the tool to factory settings. Only use it if the error remains unresolved.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Enter Dedicated Interface
a. Hold the right button, then press and release the power button.
b. Keep holding the right button until the dedicated interface appears.
2. Zero Calibration
a. Press the zero key to reset. The screen should display "0000".
3. Restart the Tool
a. Power off the device and restart it. The E04 error should now be cleared.
Prevention Tips
Store Properly: Keep the tool in a dry, anti-static case.
Avoid Moisture: Use silica gel packs in storage areas.
Regular Maintenance: Calibrate sensors periodically.
