sockets in the input boards, the level display should

 

 

now show an all steam state and no fault

 

 

indication. If this does not occur an internal fault

 

 

exists.

 

 

The circuit fault may be on either input board or the

 

 

display board. If spares are available, change the input

 

 

board first and if the fault is not rectified change the

 

 

display board. If spares are not available, call the

 

 

service engineer.

 

 

 

State 2

Internal fault

This state is indicating a fault which is not related to an

Top and bottom

 

electrode error because no LED pairs are alternating

 

between water and steam. It is therefore likely that an

halves of fault

 

 

internal fault exists.

following procedure:

 

broken connection or

 

damaged cable

1. Remove both conductors from electrode 2. With the

 

assembly

conductors isolated from each other, the level

 

 

display should show electrode 2 as alternating

 

 

between water and steam (green and red).

 

 

2. With the conductors touching each other, the level

 

 

display should show electrode 2 as being in steam.

 

 

3. Repeat operations 1 and 2 for all affected even

 

 

numbered electrodes until a faulty indication is

 

 

found.

 

 

The above procedure checks the electrode wiring. If

 

 

the display does not show the correct results, then

 

 

check for a break in either of the suspect electrode

 

 

conductors.

 

 

Carry out repair to any faulty connection or substitute a

 

 

new conductor or cable assembly in place of the

 

 

defective item.
