2. TROUBLESHOOTING

No.

REASON

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

2.1  HEATING EFFECT IS NOT ACHIEVED.

2.1.1

MCB may have tripped.

Check the MCB (501&502) If found a trip, switch ON it.

2.1.2

DC output is not available.

Check the 24 VDC output from the SMPS (850&851). Check the MCB. If found trip, switch ON it.

2.1.3

SSR not working.

The DC supply goes from the CPU (951) to the input of SSR. The SSR is provided with a phase connection (502&504) that goes to the Air Heater. If the CPU (951) is giving 24 Volts DC to the SSR input and then checks which SSR output terminal (504) is not showing the phase (230 Volts) it means that SSR is not working, this has to be replaced.

2.1.4

 

 

 

 

Air heater not working.

 

 

 

 

The phase from the output of the SSR (504) is given to the heater and the neutral (400) is directly connected. In case the phase and neutral is provided and still, heater is not heating up, it means, that the heater is broken. Also, check the heater continuity with the body. If not proper, then replace the heater.

2.1.5

Safety Thermostat is not

Working.

Check the safety thermostat and if found not working replace it.

2.1.6

The Chamber motor not working.

Check the Motor winding, if found burned out or found any problem replace it.

Check the starting capacitor, If found faulty, replace it.

Check the MCB (601&612) If found trip, switch ON it.

The DC supply goes from the CPU (952) to the input of SSR. The output of the SSR is provided with a phase connection coming from the relay RL5 (552) and the other output (554) goes to the Heater. If the CPU (952) is giving 24 Volts DC to the SSR input and the SSR output terminal is not showing the phase (230 Volts) it means that SSR is not working, it has to be replaced.

2.2.4

Relay not working.

The DC supply goes from the CPU (954) to the input of Relay (RL5). The common point of the Relay is provided with a phase connection (551) and the output (552/NO) goes to the SSR.

But the Relay (NO/552) output terminal is not showing the phase (230 Volts) which means the Relay is not working, this has to be replaced.

2.2.5

The heating element not working.

 

 

 

The phase from the output of the SSR (554) is given to the heater and the neutral (400) is directly connected. In case the phase and neutral are provided and still, a heater is not heating up, that means, the heater is broken. Also, check the heater's continuity with the body. If not proper, then replace the heater.

2.2.6

If the CPU (955) is giving 24 Volts DC to the Relay input and also presents the supply (571). But the Relay (NO/572) output terminal is not showing the phase (230 Volts) which means the Relay is not working, this has to be replaced.

2.3.5

The heating element not working.

 

 

 

The phase from the output of the SSR (573) is given to the heater and the neutral (400) is directly connected. In case the phase and neutral are provided and still, the heater is not heating up, that means, the heater is broken. Also, check the heater's continuity with the body.
