8.0 Fault Analysis

B.

Product Overheats

1.

Product only heats up
when the instrument
switch is ON

The controller
shows a very high
temperature

The controller is faulty

The controller
shows a low
temperature

The thermocouple may be
faulty or may have been
removed out of the heating
chamber

The thermocouple may be
connected the wrong way
around

The controller may be faulty

2.

Product heats up
when the instrument
switch is OFF
