How to remove the overheating protection
on LC 20H – LC 130H
These units are equipped with a preset thermostat as
overheating protection. The thermostat is fixed on the front side
or on the bottom of the tank. The preset switch-off temperature
is approx. 60°C.
If the temperature rises above 70°C during operation without
cover (contact permanently closed), or if the unit does not heat
at all (contact permanently opened), the thermostat is probably
faulty.
A short circuit in the heating element can damage the
thermostat. The breakdown can also be caused by material
fatigue due to the ultrasonic activity
At room temperature, the switch contacts are closed, i.e. an
ohm throughput can be measured. In order to check of the
contacts are permanently closed and do not open above the
switch-off temperature, the unit must be connected to a
wattmeter.

To replace the component proceed as follows:
Cause of breakdown
Measure the
component
Elma Order No.
How to proceed
1. Open the unit as described in
section 7
.
2. Remove the tank as described in
section 11
.
3. Use a hot air fan to remove the glue fixation of the
component and separate it from the transducer tank.
Remove the glue remains e.g. with emery paper and clean
the area with alcohol etc.
4. Rub the glueing spot of the overheating protection with
emery paper and clean it with alcohol etc.
5. Put a thin silicone layer on the glueing spot.
6. Place the component and press it on the correct spot, fix
with silicone if necessary.
7. Connect the electric cables and insulate the connections.
Polarization is irrelevant.
8. Reinsert the tank as described in
section 11
.
9. Connect all remaining electric cables.
10. Close the unit.
