700 on the Zimmatic FieldNET Pivot Control
An independent guide from FixMyPivot, not from the manufacturer. Brand and panel names are here only so you can find your own equipment.
What it means
Safety Shutdown: a safety tripped and shut the system down.
A 700-series code is a full shutdown, and these go to the dealer. Before you call, walk the machine and look for a tower that is out of line, and do not try to restart it until the cause is found. The door decal calls this code "Alignment Shutdown", but any safety that trips can set it. A blinking red forward or reverse light on the panel is the one that points to alignment.
Call a technician for this one, rather than opening the panel.

Safety
Center pivots run on high voltage and heavy moving machinery. Shut off and lock out power at the main disconnect before you open a panel or touch anything electrical. If you are not sure, stop and call your local pivot dealer or a licensed electrician. These pages tell you what a code means. They do not replace a qualified technician, and the safety instructions that came with your equipment come first.
