1.

 

If F4T upper PWR bar is 0% 

(F4 controller light 1A is OFF). 

1.

 

Solid State Relay SSR1 is 

defective (shorted). Defective 

output 1A on F4 Controller. 

Does not cool at all. 

1.

 

If F4T upper PWR bar is 100% 

(F4 controller light 1B is ON), 

F4T Compressor Output (F4 

DigitalOut 8) is ON, the Cool 

light on front panel is OFF, both 

compressors are OFF. 

 

2.

 

Setpoint is low than chamber 

temperature but F4T 

Compressor Output (F4 

DigitalOut 8) is not ON. 

 

3.

 

If the Cool light is ON, 

compressors are ON. 

1.

 

Pressure switch PS1 or PS2 is 

tripped. 

 

 

 

 

 

2.

 

Controller is mis-configured. 

Re-enter values as documented 

in the controller manual. 

 

 

3.

 

Solenoid valve SV1 may be 

defective in closed position. 

Plugged R-508B capillary tube. 

Refrigerant leak. 

R-404A pressure switch 

DPS1 trips. (on rear left 

side) 

1.

 

Trips after operating for a while. 

 

 

 

 

2.

 

Trips immediately after turn on. 

1.

 

Ambient temperature may be 

too high, over 90

°

F. Dirty 

condenser, inadequate clearance 

from back of chamber to wall. 

 

2.

 

Low charge (leak).  

R-404A sightglass has 

bubbles or does not look full. 

1.

 

During all running conditions. 

 

2.

 

Only when cool light is cycling. 

1.

 

Low charge (leak). 

 

2.

 

No problem. This is normal. 

Cools too slowly or does not 

reach –68°C. 

1.

 

R-508B standby is ok, no 

bubbles in R-404A sightglass. 

1.

 

Chamber interior is overloaded. 

Test sample is energized, giving 

off heat. Circulator motor is not 

turning. Port plug is not in port. 

Door is not sealing completely.
