Alarms History
The system constantly monitors and reports the status for alarm conditions and reports each alarm
status in the Alarms History sub screen located along the bottom edge of the OIT (Figure 11, below).

The following is a description of the cause and remedy for each of the alarms:
(C60) Process temp. exceeds Heating Test alarm setpoint –
The temperature read by the thermocouple
in the heating block exceeds the maximum temperature in the alarms setup. This could be caused by an
overshoot of the PID control, or a failure of the hardware components. To correct this problem, stop
the heating test and reduce the setpoint temperature (or adjust the step amount or number of steps in
the Heating Test) if it is a PID control issue, or check the main display to make sure that the
thermocouple is outputting the proper temperature and check to make sure that the heater in the
heater block is getting hot if it is a hardware problem.
(C61) No temp. rise detected in response to Heat Test output –
The Heating Test has started and the
controls have sent a signal to the Heater, but there is no corresponding temperature rise for a certain
amount of time. Check the main display to make sure that the thermocouple is outputting the proper
temperature. Also, check to make sure that the heater in the heater block is getting hot. If not, replace
the damaged component.
(C62) Process temp. exceeds PID target overshoot limit –
In the process of getting to the setpoint
temperature, the control has overshot the setpoint by a value greater than the value set in alarm
settings. This is typically due to a change in the PID settings. To correct this, return the PID settings to
their original values, or press the “Reset to Factory Default Settings” button on the Setup screen.
(C63) TS1-ALM Temp Sensor 1 Fault Detected –
This fault is the result of an input from the Raytek
pyrometer controller. It indicates that the input signal from the pyrometer has exceeded the value for
maximum input set in the Raytek controller. To correct this, replace the pyrometer sensor as it is the
most likely cause.
