10.  TROUBLESHOOTING 

The controller has many capabilities other than those used for the Almex Temperature control panel. Adjust 
only those settings described above. Other adjustments may result in the control panel being inoperable. For 
detailed instruction of the E5CN-H controller, refer to the OMRON instruction manual supplied with this 
temperature controller. Unqualified personnel must not open or work on these units.  Any unauthorized work or 
adjustments immediately VOIDS warranty. 

10.1.  No Display on Temperature Controller 

FAULT 

CORRECTION 

1. 

 

Power supply is faulty. No phase 
lights are on. 

2. 

 

Phase lights are on, no power to 
system. 

1. 

 

Check all cables and power supply connection, and reset the 
main feed power breaker.  

2. 

 

Check the main breaker on the control box. The temperature 
controllers (or pair of controllers) will turn off when the platen 
and/or cable is disconnected. Check the indicator lights for 
diagnoses.  Check the earth fault indication light. 

3. 

 

Control circuit fuse has opened. 

 

3. 

 

Disconnect power supply, open the control cabinet, replace 10 
or 15FU fuse in the circuit and reset the breaker. 

 

10.2.  Error Display on Temperature Controller or Indication Lights 

 

FAULT 
 

CORRECTION 

1. 

 

SERR Is indicated on the 
temperature controller. 

2. 

 

Red push button indicator light on 
face. 
 

3. 

 

Pilot indication lights will not 
show GREEN and allow operation 
of the press. 

 

 
 
 

4. 

 

Loose connection in cable or 
platen connector. 

1. 

 

This usually means an RTD probe is an incorrect type, has failed 
or the signal is not getting to the temperature controller. 

2. 

 

This shows earth fault condition has occurred.  Have a qualified 
person repair the problem.  This will also light when the test 
button is pushed. 

3. 

 

Check the platen and / or pump earth to pilot pins for a 300 to 
345 ohm resistance. If close to 0 ohms you have a short between 
the pilot and ground and needs IMMEDIATE repair before use. 
If the resistance is above 345 and a yellow light is being 
indicated your earth is faulty and needs IMMEDIATE repair 
before use.  If you have 300 to 345 ohms and the green 
indication will not come on the pilot system has failed and needs 
IMMEDIATE repair before use. Contact Shaw Almex for repair 
information. 

4. 

 

Remove electrical connector insert from housing and tighten all 
connections. 

5. 

 

RTD temperature sensor is faulty. 

5. 

 

Measure the resistance between pins 4-5 on the platen electrical 
connector. Depending on the platen temperature, the resistance 
should be between 100-170 Ohms. Replace sensor as described 
in the vulcanizer manual.  
 

10.3.  Platens Not Heating 

 

FAULT                                                                  CORRECTIONS 

 

1. 

 

Power supply faulty. 

1. 

 

Check that all three phases are powered. 

2. 

 

Platen switch OFF. 

2. 

 

Turn platen switch ON. 

3. 

 

Temperature set improperly. 

3. 

 

Ensure that controller set point is correct. 

4. 

 

No continuity between power 
supply and platen. 

4. 

 

Check thermal overloads on the output relays. 

5. 

 

Loose connection in control panel. 

5. 

 

Disconnect power supply, open the control cabinet and check for 
loose wire connections. 

6. 

 

Faulty temperature controller. 

6. 

 

Refer to Omron instruction manual.
