temperature is in error and the
controller remains in the cooling or
the heating state at any set-point
value
Possible causes may be either a faulty control probe or
erroneous data in memory.
• The probe might be disconnected, burned out, or
shorted. The Probe is insided the stirrer motor cover.
• Make sure that the probe is connected properly.
Check the probe with an ohmmeter to see if it is
open or shorted. The probe is a platinum 4-wire Din
43760 type. The resistance should read 0.2
Ω to
2.0
Ω between pins 1 and 2 on the probe connector
and 0.2
Ω to 2.0 Ω between pins 3 and 4. The
resistance should read from 100
Ω to 300 Ω
between pins 1 and 4 depending on the temperature.
If the probe is defective, contact Fluke Calibration.
• If the problem is not the probe, erroneous data in
memory can be the cause. Re-initialize the memory
as discussed in the problem The display flashes

out and an incorrect process temperature. If the
problem remains, the cause may be a defective
electronic component, contact Fluke Calibration.
