TROUBLE SHOOTING 

If the front panel fails to light up: 

 

Check if the power outlet fuses are blown (see 
Table 2 for the replacement fuses). 

 

If the ATC fails to heat your device: 

 

Check if the fuses are blown (see Tables 1 and 2 
for a list of replacement fuses). 

 

Check if the heaters are still operational by 
measuring their resistance with an ohmmeter,  

To measure the resistance of the heaters: 

 

Disconnect the heated accessory from the 
temperature controller. 

 

Connect an ohmmeter across the two pins on the 
heater connector as indicated in Figure 4. 

 

Heater failure is indicated by an open circuit or a 
short.  An undamaged heater will measure a few 
ohms, as indicated in Table 3.
