5.8 ERROR
MESSAGES
On power up, the Model 330 checks internal memory. There are two potential error messages.
The first error,
Er01
, indicates an unsuccessful attempt to write and then read the internal non-volatile RAM. This error is not
user-correctable. Consult the factory.
The second error,
Er02
, indicates an unsuccessful attempt to read the internal non-volatile RAM for the Model
ID. Sometimes, initializing memory corrects this error. To initialize memory, press and hold both
Escape
and
Units
for about 20 seconds. Release when the power up sequence begins. Perform this operation only under
extreme circumstances; it erases any user-defined curves in memory.
There are two sensor input error messages. If an input signal from the sensor exceeding full scale is applied
to the input leads,
OL
indicates the overload.
If no signal or a wrong polarity signal exists at the input leads,
Er27
indicates a Zero Error for Channel A or
Er28
for Channel B. The Model 330 displays dashes “
- - -
” if the
input switches are improperly set.
Finally,
Er30
appears if the measured heater output does not match the predicted output. The controller turns
the heater off. Check heater resistance, test for shorts in the heater wiring, then turn the heater on again. If the
error message returns, consult the factory.
