Troubleshooting
In general, all of the settings in the menus Par and Men and the terminal should first be checked if there is a malfunction.
Malfunction, but "realistic" temperature values:
∙Check program number.
∙Check the
∙Were the settings in the submenus (Men) changed?
∙Can the pump (output) be switched on and off in manual mode? If a forced pump “ON” and “OFF” lead to the appropriate reaction at the output, the unit is certainly in order.
∙Are all of the sensors connected with the right terminals? Heat up the sensor using a cigarette lighter and watch the display.
∙Did you change the reference temperature 250 (three sensor operation) to KTY?
Incorrect display of temperature(s):
∙Displayed values such as
∙or 999 if there is an interruption do not necessarily mean a material or terminal error.
∙Are the right sensor types (KTY or PT1000) selected in the menu Men under SENSOR? The factory settings set all inputs to KTY.
The sensor can also be checked without a measuring instrument by connecting the presumed defective sensor to a terminal that works and checking the display. The resistance measured by an ohmmeter should have the following value depending on the temperature:
T | 0 | 10 | 20 | 25 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 80 | 90 | 100°C |
R(KTY) | 1630 | 1772 | 1922 | 2000 | 2080 | 2245 | 2417 | 2597 | 2785 | 2980 | 3182 | 3392 Ω |
The settings of the parameters and menu functions ex works can be restored any time by pressing the down arrow (enter) while powering the controller. The sign that appears for three seconds on the display is RESTOR for load factory settings.
If the system is not in operation while connected to the power supply, the 3.15A
As the programs are constantly being improved, there may be a difference in the sensor, pumps, and program descriptions. Only the enclosed manual (identical serial number) applies for the equipment supplied. The program version for the manual must correspond to the equipment version.
If the control system is found to be malfunctioning despite the checks described above, please contact your retailer or Thermo Technologies directly. The cause of the error can only be determined if the settings of the unit is known. The schematic diagram of the system in question is a great help to isolate the potential problem.
