Faults
First Step:
Open the unplugged unit. Plug the unit in; check the display. Start the ENTERPRISE TC4 unit and check if there is fog or not. I
f so check the consistency (not
wet) and the smell (not pungent) of the fog. It can take a while before the unit is working normal because of unsteady fluid le
avings in the tubes. First listen if the
fluid pumps start, is fluid escaped somewhere, does the heat exchanger heat up,
maybe there is an apparent fault.
Be careful because of the 230V and
the heat
. Is the defect part apparent, have closer look to this and do the testing as described in the appropriate chapter below. Is it
more difficult to locate the
fault
,
follow the steps in the table below.
