ECS 1M

SYMPTOM

CAUSE and REMEDY

Lo is

continually

displayed

Temperature is below minimum (13.5

or -10.0

C).

Probe is disconnected or defective.

Hi is

continually

displayed

Temperature is above maximum
(105.0°F or 41°C).

Probe is short circuited.

Fan(s) or

heater not

operating

Verify whether the fan LED is on. If
LED is on yet fan or heater is not
operating, verify wiring, fan and fuse.
Refer Figure 5 for fuse location. If fuse
is blown, replace with fuse of same
type.

Display is

blank

Verify that the line voltage selector
switch is properly set.

Verify that the 10 pin flat cable
between the main board and the
faceplate board is connected.

F2 displayed

for relative

humidity

Humidity is below minimum (30%).

Probe is disconnected or defective.
