I asked the same question at the ETO booth at Dayton '95 and was told this 
could be done by connecting pins 13 and 14 of the RS-232 connector to ground.  
Connect pins 1(gnd), 13 and 14 on a male DB-25 together and plug it 
into the connector on the rear of the amplifier.

Be sure that the connector is properly wired and pluged-in before you 
have your "6th Hard Fault" - I'm not sure this will restore a 
locked-out amplifier!  It does however work here.  Have a "22" which 
is a hard fault according to the list and it does not lock out.

Now if someone can tell me how to find/fix a # 22 fault I will be very 
happy!
