State 3 (contd.) | Dirt on electrode | If the wiring checks carried out as described above have | |
| Affected electrode | not located a fault, then dirt on an electrode insulator may | |
| be the cause of the problem giving an effective short- | ||
| alternates | ||
| circuit to ground. | ||
| between water and | ||
| steam. | Check all even numbered electrodes alternating between | |
|
| water and steam for dirt over the external insulator and | |
|
| clean with a cloth as required. | |
|
| Checking for dirt on the internal insulator of the electrode | |
|
| requires draining of the water column (refer to the | |
|
| appropriate manual for the correct procedure). | |
|
| Once the water column is drained, check the ac voltage | |
|
| on each even numbered electrode using a true r.m.s. | |
|
| voltmeter. Any electrode showing a voltage of less than | |
|
| 3V ac needs cleaning or replacement. Electrodes must | |
|
| be removed from the column for inspection and cleaning | |
|
| Note: The electrode insulator can be cleaned using a | |
|
|
| clean cloth |
| Internal circuit fault | If the wiring checks carried out as described above have | |
| on left hand circuit | not located a fault, then it is possible that an internal fault | |
| board or the | exists. | |

|

| input boards. |

| required for systems with more than 16 points) with |
|
|
| wire links connecting the following pins on each |
|
|
| socket: |
|
| 3. | Insert these sockets in place of the electrode cable |
|
|
| 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 left | |
|
| hand input board first, and if the fault is not rectified | |
|
| change the display board followed by the right hand input | |
|
| board. If spares are not available, call the service | |
|
| engineer. | |
State 4 | Internal circuit fault | This state is indicating a fault which is not related to an | |
Top half of fault | on left hand circuit | electrode error because no LED pairs are alternating | |
LED illuminated | board or the | between water and steam. It is therefore likely that an | |
No LED pairs | display board | internal fault exists. | |
