SERVICE AND CALIBRATION
5.0 GENERAL
This chapter covers several aspects of Model 330 service and calibration: General Maintenance Precautions
(Paragraph 5.1), Electrostatic Discharge (Paragraph 5.2), General Maintenance Information (Paragraph 5.3),
Changing Power Settings and Fuse Rating (Paragraph 5.4), Rear Panel Connector Definitions (Paragraph
5.5), Optional Serial Cable and Adapters (Paragraph 5.6), Software EPROM and Precision Option NOVRAM
Replacement (Paragraph 5.7), Power Up and Sensor Error Messages (Paragraph 5.8), Changing Sensor
Input Type (Paragraph 5.9), Calibration (Paragraph 5.10), Thermocouple Calibration (Paragraph 5.11), and
Thermocouple Internal Offset Adjustment (Paragraph 5.12).
5.1 GENERAL MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
These recommended general safety precautions are unrelated to any specific procedure and do not appear
elsewhere in this manual. Personnel should understand and apply these precautions during installation.
Installation personnel shall observe all safety regulations at all times. Keep away from live circuits. Turn off
system power before making or breaking electrical connections. Regard any exposed connector, terminal
board, or circuit board as a possible shock hazard. Discharge charged components only when such grounding
cannot damage equipment. If a test connection to energized equipment is required, make the test equipment
ground connection before probing the voltage or signal.
Do not install or service equipment alone. Do not under any circumstances reach into or enter any enclosure
to service or adjust equipment without the presence or assistance of another person able to render aid.
If there is no power, ensure you are plugged into a live outlet and that both ends of the power cord are plugged
in. Next check the fuse. Remove line cord then place a small slotted screwdriver in the slot of the small door at
the rear of the controller to gain access to the fuse. See Figure 5-1. For 100/120 V operation, the fuse rating is
2 A and the fuse type is MDL 2 Slow Blow. For 220/240 V operation, the fuse rating is 1 A and the fuse type is
MDL 1. Test the fuse with an ohmmeter. Do not rely on visual inspection of the fuse.
Use the procedure below to clean the Model 330 periodically to remove dust, grease and other contaminants.
1.
Clean front and back panels and case with soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and water solution.
NOTE:
Do
not
use aromatic hydrocarbons or chlorinated solvents to clean the Model 330. They may react with
the plastic materials in the controller or the silk screen printing on the back panel.
2.
Clean surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs) using clean, dry air at low pressure.
5.2 CHANGING POWER SETTING AND FUSE RATING
There are two power configurations: domestic and foreign. Domestic has a single fuse on the hot. Foreign has
a double fuse for the hot and neutral. Units with power requirements specified at purchased are factory pre-
configured. If power settings are incorrect for your application, change them with the procedure below.
1.
Turn off unit.
2.
Unplug line cord from rear of unit.
3.
Use small screwdriver to open fuse drawer.
4.
Pull out fuse holder, rotate until proper voltage
setting displays through fuse drawer window. Place
fuse holder back in fuse drawer.
5.
Remove existing fuse(s). Replace with proper fuse
ratings as follows: 2 A for 100/120 VAC;
or 1 A for 220/240 VAC.
6.
Slide fuse drawer back into unit.
7.
Plug line cord into rear of unit.
8.
Perform initial setup and system checkout procedure in Paragraph 2.12.
