Temperature Control Board

Check for 120 VAC input to temperature control

 

 

board. If not present, check wiring from Hi-Limit to

 

 

temperature control board. Turn the temperature

 

 

adjustment dial to the maximum temperature position.

 

 

Check for 120 VAC at coil of mercury contactor(s).

 

 

Next, short the leads of thermocouple on the

 

 

temperature control board, check for 120 VAC at coil

 

 

of mercury contactor(s). If voltage is not present,

 

 

replace temperature control board. If voltage is

 

 

present, proceed.

 

Thermocouple Probe

Remove thermocouple leads from the temperature

 

 

control board, and measure the millivolt output of the

 

 

leads. Refer to chart (page 25) in adjustment section

 

 

for proper millivolt readings.

 

Mercury Contactor(s)

Check for 120 VAC to the contactor coil. If voltage is

 

 

present and contactor will not activate, replace the

 

 

contactor(s). Also check each contactor for proper

 

 

high voltage input and output.

 

50 Amp Fuses

If there is no high voltage input to the mercury

 

 

contactor(s), check the 50 amp fuses and replace if

 

 

necessary.

 

Heater Elements

Check the Amp. draw on each hot leg for proper load.

 

 

Check the specification plate for rating information. If

 

 

the Amp. draw is low or high, check the individual

 

 

elements for opens, shorts, and proper resistance. To

 

 

check resistance of the elements, turn off the power!

 

 

Remove all leads from the elements and use an

 

 

accurate digital VOM. The element resistance should

 

 

be as follows: 208V - 9.8 ohms approx. 220V - 10.5

 

 

ohms approx. 240V - 13 ohms approx. If all readings

 

 

are not correct, replace elements as needed.

Oven heats with

Mercury Contactor(s)

The mercury contactor has probably malfunctioned in

switch off

 

the closed position. If there is no voltage to the

 

 

operating coil, but there is high voltage at the

 

 

contactor output, replace the mercury contactor.

Conveyor will not run

Voltage Supply (Export Ovens)

Check incoming voltage supply, check breakers and

 

 

reset if required. For some export ovens there is a

 

 

control circuit step down transformer. This transformer

 

 

steps down supply voltage to 120 VAC. If conveyor

 

 

will not run, the secondary of this transformer must be

 

 

checked for 120 VAC output. Check specific oven

 

 

model schematic for circuit location.

 

Speed Adjustment

This is a 0 to 10K ohm, 1 turn potentiometer. With

 

Potentiometer

power off, remove the black and white pot leads from

 

 

the motor control board at terminals P1 and P2 with a

 

 

digital multimeter, check the ohm reading on the black

 

 

lead (P2) and the white lead (P1). Rotating the pot,

 

 

slowly, from low to high, the meter reading should

 

 

show an even transition from 0 to 10K ohms ± 5%.

 

 

There should be no dead or open spots through out

 

 

the 1 turn of the pot. Check both leads to

 

 

ground.There should be no continuity to ground. If any

 

 

of the above checks fail, replace the pot.

 

DC Motor Control Board

Check for 120 VAC input to the control board at

 

 

terminals L1 and L2.If not present, check back to

 

 

power source if necessary. If 120 VAC is present at

 

 

L1 and L2, check the VDC output at terminals A+ and

 

 

A-. If 120 VAC is present at terminals L1 and L2, but

 

 

DC voltage is not present at A+ and A-, verify fuses

 

 

are not blown, if fuses check ok, replace the board. If

 

 

DC voltage is present at A+ and A-, but motor does

 

 

not run, check gear motor as follows:
