If problems arise while operating the CTR –80, this section provides some sug- gestions that may help you solve the problem. A wiring diagram is also included.

13.1Troubleshooting

Below are several situations that may arise followed by suggested actions to take for fixing the problem.

Incorrect Temperature Reading

•Power the unit on and watch the display. If the first number displayed is less than “-0005-”, the unit has been re-initialized. The unit needs to be reprogrammed for R0, ALPHA, DELTA, and BETA. These numbers can be found on the Report of Calibration that was shipped with the unit.

The unit heats slowly

•Check the Scan and Scan Rate settings. The Scan may be on with the Scan Rate set low.

If the display flashes any of the following:

“err

1" - This error means there is a RAM error

“err

2" - This error means there is a NVRAM error

“err

3" - This error means there is a RAM error

“err

4" - This error means there is an ADC set up error

“err

5" - This error means there is an ADC ready error

“err

6" - This error means there is a SENSOR error

“err

7" - This error means there is a HtrCTL error

•Cycle the power off and on again. If the unit repeats the error code, con- tact GE Kaye Instruments Customer Support for a return authorization and for assistance.

The bath does not turn on

•If a fault condition exists upon application of power, the bath will not en- ergize.

•This bath needs to be plugged into the line voltage for at least 2 minutes before turning power on. This is only necessary for the first time that the bath is energized or when it is moved from one location to another.
