Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Repeat the measurement with the line firmly connected
- Who:
- you, with your monitor's manual nearby.
- How:
- remove the cuff, push the plug of the cuff line back into the monitor until it sits firmly, and fit the cuff as the measurement chapter describes. Sit still, start the measurement and stay silent until it finishes.
- Result that matters:
- the cuff inflating and the measurement ending without the code coming back.
- If the measurement completes:
- the cause was the line connection or the fit; note which of the two it was.
- If the code shows again:
- continue with the cuff fit and the state of the line.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the display with the code and a note of the exact model, for example BM 64 or BM 27.

Adjust the cuff: neither tight nor loose
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- refit the cuff following the fitting section of your manual so that it is neither too tight nor too loose, and retry the measurement with the line connected.
- Result that matters:
- a stable fit that does not shift while inflating.
- If the message disappears with the new fit:
- the cuff was seated badly.
- If the message reappears:
- check the route of the line.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the cuff in place on the arm and a note of what you adjusted.

Make sure nothing presses or bends the line
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- during the measurement, lay the air line straight on the table or beside the arm, with neither the arm nor heavy objects squashing it and no kinks. Then start a new measurement while staying still and quiet.
- Result that matters:
- a complete inflation without the line shifting.
- If the measurement completes with the line free:
- the message came from a pinched or kinked line.
- If the message still appears with a free line:
- move on to the batteries.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the line laid out and a note of where it sat before you straightened it.

Check the batteries before complaining
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- look at whether the display shows the empty battery symbol. If your manual says so, reinsert the batteries or swap them for new ones of the type the manual describes, then repeat the measurement.
- Result that matters:
- knowing whether weak batteries were affecting inflation.
- If the message goes away with fresh batteries:
- there is no reason to claim on the monitor.
- If the message persists with fresh batteries:
- contact the brand's customer service.
- Evidence to keep:
- photos of the display showing the code and of the batteries installed, with their orientation.

What it means
Beurer's BM 64 instruction manual lists the message Er 3 as a pneumatic system error, and its BM 27 manual lists E 3 as a cuff fastened too tightly or too loosely. In both cases the monitor is reporting a problem with the cuff or the air line during inflation, not a result. Other Beurer models may show different messages, and the code alone does not prove a part is faulty. For any concern about your health, consult your doctor: this device message does not replace a medical opinion.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Cuff line not properly connected to the monitorCommon
Beurer asks you to make sure the cuff line is connected correctly before repeating the measurement, which points to a loose connection as the most cited trigger.
Evidence: Beurer BM 27 instructions for use (DE, EN, FR, ES, IT) · Beurer BM 64 instrucciones de uso (DE, EN, FR, IT, ES)
- Cuff too tight or too loose (BM 27)Common
The BM 27 manual ties E 3 to a cuff fastened too tightly or too loosely, so an incorrect fit on its own can raise the message.
Evidence: Beurer BM 27 manual de instrucciones (ES) · Beurer BM 27 instructions for use (DE, EN, FR, ES, IT)
- Line bent or pressed by the armPossible
For another inflation message on the BM 64, Beurer asks that neither the arm nor heavy objects rest on the line and that it is not bent, so it is worth checking here too.
Evidence: Beurer BM 64 instrucciones de uso (DE, EN, FR, IT, ES)
- Moving or talking while the cuff inflatesPossible
Beurer's remedies for measurement messages ask you not to move or speak during the process, so an abrupt movement can disturb inflation.

- Batteries nearly emptyLess common
Beurer says to check the batteries and replace them if necessary before making any complaint, because weak batteries can cause messages during a measurement.
