CLEARING MALFUNCTIONS
8.4
Heater failure
The MCS300P Ex has two heaters with temperature monitors to heat external
subassemblies (e.g., cell and heated sample gas line).
●
Both heaters are switched off when one temperature exceeds the allowable limit value
(depending on the temperature class).
●
After 15 minutes, the MCS300P Ex switches to error state “Failure” (
) because both heated subassemblies cool down.
▸
Switch the MCS300P Ex off and on again to switch the heaters back on.
8.5
Overpressure monitoring failure
●
MCS300P Ex category 2G: A control unit failure triggers an automatic switch-off of the
MCS300P Ex.
●
MCS300P Ex category 3G: A control unit malfunction is only indicated with an alarm
signal on the Ex control unit with no automatic switch-off of the MCS300P Ex.
