What to do if the Agilent Technologies Thermostat temperature is out of range?
- J
  John SmithJul 25, 2025
  If the Agilent Technologies Thermostat displays a 'Temperature out of Range' error, it could be due to the four main heat exchanger fans not blowing enough air. Try cleaning the air filters and heat exchanger fins. Also, switch off the thermostat and wait 10 minutes for the peltier elements to equilibrate. Alternatively, the ambient temperature might be too high or low. Ensure it is within the specified limits (4°C to 55°C).

  If your Agilent Technologies Thermostat shows 'Power Fail for ALS Thermostat Module', first check the power line connection to ensure it is correctly connected. Next, inspect the fuse(s) and replace them if they are defective. If the issue persists, the ALS Thermostat power supply might be defective, and you should contact the Agilent Technologies service organization.

  If you're experiencing bad cooling or heating performance with your Agilent Technologies Thermostat, start by checking the connections of the Peltier elements, as they may be defective, not connected, or incorrectly connected. Also, the four main heat exchanger fans might not be blowing enough air; in that case, clean the air filters and heat exchanger fins. Turn off the thermostat and wait 10 minutes for the Peltier elements to equilibrate. If the issue persists, contact the Agilent Technologies service organization.

What to do if Agilent Technologies G1330B Thermostat lost contact to ALS?
- B
  Bryce MillerAug 9, 2025
  If the Agilent Technologies Thermostat loses contact with the ALS, first, check the cable connection between the autosampler and ALS thermostat. Ensure the cable is connected properly. If that doesn't resolve the issue, the ASM board in the autosampler or the TCA board in the thermostat may be defective and need to be exchanged. If those steps don't solve the problem, contact the Agilent Technologies service organization.

What to do if the Agilent Technologies Thermostat fan failed?
- S
  smithkennethAug 15, 2025
  If the Agilent Technologies Thermostat displays 'Fan Failed', it indicates that either one of the four heat-sink fans or the cooling heating module fan is defective. Refer to the section “Exchanging the Heatsink Fans” on page 65 for instructions.
