How to replace a blown fuse in Mold-Masters TempMaster M3 Laboratory Equipment?
If the output fuse for a zone fails in your Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment, this is due to an external fault. First, identify and fix the fault. Then, replace the fuse with a High Rupture Current load fuse of the same rating and type. The blown fuse is located on the control card.
What to do if Mold-Masters TempMaster M3 shows a GND error?
If the Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment system detects an earth fault (GND), check the heater wiring for a low impedance path to earth.
What to do if Mold-Masters TempMaster M3 displays ERR!?
If your Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment displays an ERR! message, it means little or no temperature rise has been detected in that zone. This can happen if the thermocouple wiring is reversed, or if the heater wiring is faulty or open circuit. The thermocouple may be trapped. Check these to prevent overheating and damage.
What does CT/C error mean on Mold-Masters TempMaster M3?
If your Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment shows a CT/C error, it indicates an open circuit thermocouple (T/C) has been detected, and no auto response has been selected in the T/C Open Error column on the Settings screen. You can slave that control zone to an adjacent zone OR change to open loop control for immediate recovery. When the controller is free, check to see whether the input fuse on the control card has ruptured. If the fuse is good, then check the wiring for faults or replace the thermocouple.
What causes a LINE error on Mold-Masters TempMaster M3?
If your Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment displays a LINE error message, it means no mains supply synchronization pulses are being received. This is often due to the absence of one phase or a swapped phase and neutral. Switch off and isolate the controller, then check the supply wiring for the presence of all three phases.
How to troubleshoot HTR! error on Mold-Masters TempMaster M3 Laboratory Equipment?
If your Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment displays HTR!, it means the heater resistance is not what is expected or the heater is open circuit. Check the heater resistance with a meter to ensure it is correct.
What does the LOAD error mean on Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment?
If your Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment displays a LOAD error, it could mean: * In a Normal System: The zone detects a potentially higher current draw than its maximum specification. Isolate the system power supply, and check the resistance of the tool. * In a Spear-Seki System: There is no load on that zone, which only occurs in manual closed loop mode. Isolate the system power supply, and check the connections between the controller and the tool heaters. Also check the heater for continuity.
Why does my Mold-Masters TempMaster M3 show an AMPS error?
If your Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment displays AMPS, it means the controller cannot supply the current request. This is most likely to be seen if the particular zone is set as a Spear type. Isolate system supply, check loom and check heater wiring continuity. Check the heater resistance against other known good zones to see that it is not noticeably higher than average.
What does a LINK error indicate on Mold-Masters TempMaster M3 Laboratory Equipment?
If your Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment shows a LINK error, it means the console is switched to a remote controller with a network link but cannot communicate with it. Check that the network link is good and / or the remote controller is still switched on and available.
What should I do if Mold-Masters TempMaster M3 shows a CREV error?
If your Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment displays a CREV error, the card has detected an abnormal input at the thermocouple termination, indicating a shorted or reversed thermocouple. If the CREV alarm persists then you should switch off the controller and investigate the malfunctioning zone. Alternatively you could slave the malfunctioning zone to a good zone until you have time to clear the fault.
