Over Temperature 

If  the  temperature  within  the  constant  temperature  chamber  exceeds  34  °C 

 3 

C, then 

the  OVER  TEMP  indicator  will  be  lit.    Allow  the  enclosure  to  cool  to  less than 30 °C.  
Check  the  resistance  of  R2  (2.2 

).    Check  between  P2-F  and  P2-H  to  ensure  that  the 

temperature  sensitive  switch  S2  is  open.    If  these  conditions  are  satisfied,  then  replace 
fuse F1 and check that the HEATER indicator is lit.  Monitor the increase in temperature 
with  the  PRT.    If  the  lamp  does  not  indicate  heater  cycling  when  the  temperature 
approaches normal, then check the operation of the control circuit as follows: 

-  Locate pins A and C of P2. 

-  Short pin A to pin C.  The HEATER indicator should go out.  If it does, then 

check the resistances of RT1 and R1 as detailed in section 4.3.2.  Replace them 
as  a  matched  pair.    If  not,  then  check  at  TP1  and  TP2  with  an  oscilloscope 
(common  to  P1-7).    With  P2-A  and  P2-C  shorted,  there  should  be  no 
oscillation.   Check the voltage at  TP3.  It should be zero.  Refer to Table 4-2 
for voltage measurements to aid in locating the fault in the heater driver.
