Pegasus R Iss.07 – 08/13 

APPENDIX 1: TROUBLE SHOOTING 

TEMPERATURE UNSTABLE 

 

Controller  has  incorrect  parameters  set;  reset  to  standard.    If  still  unstable  try  the  self-tune  option.    Check  the 

electricity supply is stable. 

UNIT FAILS TO HEAT 

 

Check controller is set correctly.  If the output indicator on the controller is lit the relay should operate the heater.  If 

the output indicator stays off it is likely the controller is set incorrectly. 

CONTROLLER DISPLAY UNUSUAL 

 

Error or system message.  Refer to Isotech or your local Agent. 

HEATER FAIL ON 

 

If  the  temperature  of  the  block  increases  rapidly  with  the  controller  output  staying  off  the  relay  and  sensor  are 

suspect.  Do not use the unit, contact Isotech or your agent. 

WARM UP TIME UNUSUALLY LONG 

 

Controller set incorrectly, failure of one heater, or cooling fan permanently on.  Check controller settings.   

 
The fan on the side panel should always be on. 

INDICATOR MISBEHAVES ('S' ONLY) 

 

Wrong configuration code entered, check against table. 

 

If SnSr FAIL is displayed, check probe connections.  If displayed with no probe connected, check that the link is fitted 

correctly and that the configuration is for a thermocouple type. 

 

MAINTENANCE 

 
The only moving part is the fan.  It has sealed-for-life bearings.  Depending on the environment in which it is used, 

periodic cleaning of them and the inside of the case is recommended.  Cleaning may be accomplished by the use of a 

small dry paint brush. 

 

The instrument should be periodically checked to ensure it is in good order both mechanically and electrically.
