PROBLEM
CAUSE
ACTION STEPS
Unit is plugged in, power light is
off , Display Panel is not working.
Power is not getting to
the unit.
Reset breaker or replace fuse. If power is
still not getting to the unit, call a Qualifi ed
Service Technician. Ensure that the unit is
the only device on a circuit with suffi cient
capacity.
Unit is plugged in, power light is
on, Display Panel is not working.
Power board or
computer board not
functioning.
Call Uni-ram Service
Recycled solvent is not clear
1) The solvent is react-
ing chemically.
1) Run SETUP and lower the Termperature
Set Point.
2) The solvent fl ow
path is dirty. One
cause is overfi lling the
distillation tank.
2) To clean the path, follow Service Pro-
cedure 2 and then recycle 3 gal of clean
solvent.
3) Orange colour due
to rust in receiving
pail.
3) Place a jar under outlet tube and capture
some solvent. If the solvent is clear, replace
the pail with a non-corrosive one.
4) Milky colour due to
presence of water.
4) Eliminate source of water in solvent.
Dirty solvent remains in Dis-
tillation Tank after recycling
Note:
1/8 Gal (500 ml) of re-
cycled solvent is expected due to
condensation.
1) Poor heat transfer
due to dirt and debris
left in the tank.
1) Clean the tank, replace the Liner Bag,
recycle with pure solvent to test. If suc-
cessfull, the problem is due to a dirty tank,
debris left in the tank or the solvent is too
contaminated. Adjust accordingly. Follow
Operating Procedures closely. If the level
of contamination is too high, recycle more
often.
2) Boiling point of
solvent is above Tem-
perature Set Point.
2) Run SETUP, raise the Temperature Set
Point and repeat the recycling operation.
The Temperature Set Point should be the
BP of pure solvent (as determined from the
MSDS or other source) plus 45°C (113°F)
to allow for contamination. If the boiing
point is above the maximum Temperature
Set Point for your model (either 200°C or
240°C), dirty solvent cannot be recycled in
this unit.
3) The Auto Shut Off
system is shutting the
unit off too soon.
3) Run SETUP and over-ride the auto
SHUT-OFF. Select a time period long
enough to recycle the solvent. The heater
will stay on for this duration. Repeat the
recycling operation.
Liner Bag sticks
Turn unit on for 5 mininutes and lift out bag
while it is still warm.
