Symptoms

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

High Voltage Cable

Check cable connections at J103, J104,

 

 

 

J10, and J11.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lamp Bulb

Measure the Photoresistor output at the

 

 

 

photocell test points and magnetron

 

 

 

current test points on the front panel while

 

 

 

switching to LAMP ON.

 

 

 

If the photocell voltage does not drop when

 

 

 

the magnetron current voltage changes,

 

 

 

replace the bulb.

 

 

 

If the photocell voltage drops, remove and

Switch from

inspect the bulb for normal mercury

 

condensation. If normal mercury

after 8

 

 

pellets are at one end, or at the center of

 

seconds;

 

 

 

the bulb), if possible, test the bulb in a

 

Lamp bulb

 

 

 

separate unit. If the bulb starts, check your

process (air handling, duty cycle, etc.). If

 

 

 

 

 

 

the bulb does not start, replace the bulb.

 

 

 

 

 

 

New bulb

During its first start, a new lamp bulb may

 

 

 

take up to 8 seconds after ignition before

 

 

 

reaching full intensity if the mercury (Hg) fill

 

 

 

has accumulated at one end or at the

 

 

 

center of the tube.

 

 

 

 

 

 

High Voltage cable

Check cable connections at J103, J104,

 

 

 

J10, and J11.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Control

Listen for the sound of K101, the high

 

 

 

voltage contactor, inside the power supply.

 

 

 

It should be heard closing with an audible

 

 

 

click when switched ON (after a three

 

 

 

second wait in STANDBY). If not detected:

 

 

 

Disconnect single-phase power. Reseat

 

 

 

control board assembly connectors P8 and

 

 

 

P9. Observe K1 and K102 when switching

 

 

 

to STANDBY. Reconnect the single-phase

 

 

 

power and observe K2 and K101 when

 

 

 

switching to ON.

 

 

 

 

 

 

K1, K2 Relays

Replace K1 and K2 on the control board

 

 

 

assembly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Control card

Replace control card.
