RampMaster II Error Messages 

  

The RampMaster II monitors each firing and compares performance to a set of standards. If the firing does not meet performance standards the 

RampMaster II automatically stops the firing and displays a corresponding Error Code describing the fault. Pressing any key at this point, displays the 

elapsed time and temperature at which the error occurred. Make note of these values before clearing with the START/STOP key. Below is a list of error 

codes and their conditions. 

  

As noted on page 16 of this manual, there is a select group of Error Code standards that can be disabled. Normal ceramic work sometimes knowingly 

violates the error parameters so we allow these particular error codes to be disabled if desired. These codes are identified below. 

  

E– 0 

Software error. 

General control failure.

 

  

E– 1 

Ascending ramp rate is less than 12°F per hour. Rate of rise is examined every 7-1/2 minutes. Condition must persist for 22-1/2 minutes 

before the error is triggered. This error code is disabled when Error Codes are turned off. 

Probable causes are Control Relay Failure, Element 

Failure or Low Supply Voltage.  

  

E– 2 

While holding at programmed temperature, chamber temperature is above programmed hold temperature by 50+°F. Condition must persist for 

19+seconds before error is triggered. This error code is disabled when Error Codes are turned off. 

Probable cause is Control Relay Failure.  

  

E– 3 

While holding at programmed temperature, chamber temperature drops below programmed hold temperature by 50+°F. Condition must persist 

for 19+ seconds before error is triggered. This error code is disabled when Error Codes are turned off. 

Probable causes are Control Relay Failure, 

Element Failure or Sudden Drop in Supply Voltage.
