Zimmatic Vision faults, stops and warnings
An independent guide from FixMyPivot, not from the manufacturer. Brand and panel names are here only so you can find your own equipment.
24 listed for this panel. Tap one for the full explanation. These only apply to this panel. On a different panel the same code, light or message can mean something else.
An exclamation mark in the middle of the pivot circle means a shutdown or warning. An hourglass there means a timer is running, not a breakdown. Press the right arrow button to see the exact message, or to see what the machine is doing when nothing is wrong.

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.
