Royal Series Water Temperature Control Units
Condition Possible
cause Solution
Undersized connectors/ water
lines.
Increase size of connectors/
water lines.
Long connecting lines between
unit and mold.
Move the unit closer to the mold
and shorten connecting lines.
Serpentine flow through mold.
Connect lines for parallel flow
instead of series flow.
Blocked water line in mold.
Check mold for metal chips or
lime buildup. Clean mold.
Quick disconnect fitting with
check valve.
Remove and replace fitting or
valve.
Lime buildup in unit piping.
Clean or replace.
Faulty TCU.
Check unit by connecting ¾” line
directly from To Process to From
Process line. Run unit to
determine if TCU controls set
point temperature.
Temperature fluctuations/ rapid
cycling from hot to cold.
Reversed probes.
Switch To and From Process
probes.
Drain is plugged or excessive
back pressure is in drain line.
Clear drain line or eliminate
back pressure condition.
Faulty solenoid valve.
Test solenoid valve by pressing
VENT
button and listen for valve
operation. Replace if faulty.
Controller Cool output relay
open.
Replace output relay.
Solenoid valve is not operating,
but
COOL
LED is on.
Set process temperature to
minimum and check for
magnetism on solenoid coil top.
Solenoid coil circuit is open.
Check coil resistance. If M
Ω
range, replace solenoid coil.
Modulating valve is not
operating, but
OUT2
LED is on.
Set process temperature to
minimum and check for
complete travel of valve; .
Insufficient pressure differential
between cooling
WATER IN
and
OUT
lines.
Find a means to get less back
pressure in the
WATER OUT
line.
Unit overheats or does not cool.
Cooling valve is undersize.
Replace cooling valve with a
larger valve.
Foreign material under valve
seat.
Manually open valve to clear
seat of material.
Relief valve leaks.
High system pressure.
Reduce
WATER IN
or
MAKEUP
water pressure.
Unit runs continuously cooling or
heating, and cannot attain set
point.
Unit under-sized for application.
