TROUBLESHOOTING

Issue

Possible Cause

Solution

No 

power

Poor connection

Check the power cable connection.

ERROR displays 

instead of a  temperature

Poor probe connection

Disconnect and properly re-connect the probes 

to the 

ATC2000

.

Animal can

-

not reach set  temperature

Insufficient heating 

power

The maximum power output on the heating 

device is 30W. In most situations, the power is 

sufficient to keep the animal warm up to 40°C. 

To minimize heating loss, insulate the bottom 

of heating plate and cover the animal with a 

small blanket to keep it warm.

 Alarm is sounding

Poor transfer of heat 

from the heating plate to 

the animal. (The plate is 

hot, but the animal has 

not warmed up.) You may 

use these solutions inde-

pendently or together to 

solve this issue.

Improve the thermal coupling from the heating 

plate to the animal. Place a heat-conductive, 

conformal material (like cotton wadding) be-

tween the animal and the plate.

Adjust the PID parameter to slow the plate 

heating process. To do this, decrease the inte-

gral (I) value.

Poor connection to heat-

ing plate and probe

Disconnect both the heating plate and probe 

and reinsert them properly.
