Before beginning troubleshooting, with

all power disconnected at main switch, insure all elec-
trical and mechanical connections are tight before
energizing unit to prevent electrical problems and
mechanical leaks.

Under any circumstances, only

qualified service personnel should attempt the
below procedures.

Refer to wiring diagram for check points.

STEP 1:

Test your main control voltage and verify you

have 120V.

STEP 2:

When you have your blowdown timer set

properly and running you will have 120V at these two
points. Make sure your blowdown timer is set for a run-
time. Refer to page 29 for full instructions on operating
the blowdown timer. You must have voltage coming
out of the blowdown timer from the brown wire. Have it
set to run. Below are the 3 way manual override switch
positions. You can set it to permanent ON for all of the
following tests.

Burn Hazard. Pressurized Steam and

Hot Water is discharged during blowdown.
3-WAY MANUAL OVERRIDE SWITCH

STEP 3:

Make sure the on/off switch is set to the on

position. Testing here will determine if the on/off switch is
functioning. If there is no voltage then your switch is faulty.

STEP 4:

Check to see that you have 120V going to L1

& L2 of the upper PC board. If you do not have voltage
this could mean that the room overtemp (125 degree)
has tripped and cut the power to the rest of the
system.

• Pulling off the purple wire from the board should cause the

water solenoid to engage and fill the unit.

• If the sight glass is full and tripped on a high water, pulling the

pink wire will release it from a high water condition and engage
the contactors(if the rest of the circuit is functioning properly).

TROUBLESHOOTING THE 90241MRT BOARD

Perform the steps below to verify proper function.

• Pull

 

off

 

the

 

red

 

wire

 

from

 

the

 

9

 

inch

 

probe

 

on

 

the

 

top

 

of

 

the

pressure

 

vessel

 

and

 

physically

 

ground

 

it

 

out

 

to

 

the

 

pressure

vessel

 

or

 

the

 

jacket.

 

This

 

should

 

send

 

voltage

 

through

 

the

 

NO

(normally

 

open)

 

terminal

 

on

 

the

 

board

 

to

 

engage

 

the

contactors.

• To

 

check

 

a

 

faulty

 

test

 

button,

 

you

 

can

 

take

 

a

 

jumper

 

wire

 

and

jump

 

across

 

the

 

two

 

test

 

button

 

terminals.

 

This

 

should

 

allow

the

 

board

 

to

 

actuate

 

correctly

 

if

 

the

 

button

 

is

 

faulty.

• A

 

blinking

 

light

 

on

 

the

 

pc

 

board

 

indicates

 

the

 

board

 

is

 

having

difficulty

 

sensing

 

water

 

(either

 

due

 

to

 

a

 

dirty

 

probe

 

or

 

low

conductivity

 

in

 

the

 

water).

 

Holding

 

the

 

reset

 

button

 

for

 

30

seconds

 

should

 

reset

 

the

 

board

 

back

 

to

 

function.

 

See

 

next

section

 

for

 

maintenance

 

schedule

 

in

 

locales

 

where

 

water

quality

 

requires

 

regular

 

treatment.

Turn off all power supplies to steambath

generator and release pressure to zero (0) psig before
removing probes.

MAINTENANCE OF PROBE AND LWCO

• Inspect

 

probe

 

annually

 

for

 

scale

 

build-up

 

and

 

clean

 

if

 

necessary.

 

Make

 

certain

 

there

 

is

 

no

 

scale

 

or

 

build-up

 

on

 

the

 

probe

 

or

 

its

 

white

 

insulator.

 

For

 

cleaning

 

instructions,

 

refer

 

to

 

page

 

25.

• Replace

 

probe

 

every

 

10

 

years.

 

More

 

frequent

 

replace-

ment

 

of

 

the

 

probe

 

is

 

required

 

if

 

it

 

is

 

used

 

in

 

locales

 

where

 

significant

 

water

 

treatment

 

is

 

required,

 

where

 

more

 

frequent

 

cleaning

 

is

 

necessary,

 

or

 

in

 

applications

 

with

 

high

 

make-up

 

water

 

requirements.

• Replace

 

the

 

low

 

water

 

cutoff

 

every

 

15

 

years.

For recommended feedwater quality,

refer to page 10.
