SimpleDist® Micro Heating Block:

 Operation & Instruction Manual   

 

Troubleshooting

The problem can be effectively diagnosed by determining if the 
controller is or is not getting voltage using the following steps:
1.  Confirm that the power cord is plugged securely into the 

SimpleDist® Micro heating block receptacle and a working 
outlet.

2.  Confirm that the switch is in the “on” position. Press button  

on the back of unit.

3. Check the fuse located in the power socket:

 

Warning:

 Unplug the unit from the wall power source, 

ensure no voltage is present. This procedure is a potential electrical 
hazard and should only be performed by qualified personnel.

4.  If the controller will not illuminate and the above steps have 

passed, the controller is faulty. Call Environmental Express at 
+1.800.745.8218 for service.

There are two possible causes for your heating block to sound 
the alarm immediately after the controller cycles through the 
self test. 
1.  Your set point has been set to a value (≥) 15° less than ambient 

or current set point temperature. Turn the set point to within 
15° of the actual temperature (blue numbers).

2.  The controller is faulty. Call Environmental Express at  

+1.800.745.8218 for more information.

A heating block that will not heat beyond ambient temperature 
typically has a failed relay, heater mat or controller. Call 
Environmental Express at +1.800.745.8218 for service.

The controller digital 
display will not 
illuminate.

The audible alarm has 
sounded immediately 
after powering on and 
the SimpleDist® Micro 
Heating Block will not 
heat.

The SimpleDist® Micro 
Heating Block will not 
heat beyond ambient 
temperature.
