What should I do if my ASTRO Melting Machine tank is in an overtemp condition?
If the tank is in an overtemp condition on your ASTRO Melting Machine: 1. Adjust the tank temperature controller. 2. The Overtemperature (O.T.) switch is a safety device designed to prevent the melt tank from reaching a 'run-away' temperature condition.
Why do the applicator and supply hose heat slowly on my ASTRO Melting Machine?
If the applicator and supply hose heat slowly on your ASTRO Melting Machine: 1. Determine the exact voltage of the melt unit. Insufficient voltage can be the cause of these problems. 2. Adjust the supply hose temperature controller. 3. Determine if the applicator is heating by using a surface temperature probe or a temperature-sensing device.
