      Michele MoraSep 13, 2025
      If your Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment displays CN/Z, the console has detected a control card, but the card cannot communicate with the console. If all zones show CN/Z and no cards show / flash their SCAN LEDs, check the communication lead between the console and the controller cabinet. If only one or two zones show CN/Z, check the card for faults.

    What does HIGH / LOW mean on Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment?
    • C
      Corey OlsonSep 7, 2025
      If your Mold-Masters Laboratory Equipment displays HIGH / LOW, the waterflow sensor has detected a high or low flow rate. The coolant water system should be checked for blockages and leaks to ensure that overheating does not occur. Note: Waterflow is a monitored condition only, and these messages will not cause a pause or shutdown of the system.

    What should I do if Mold-Masters TempMaster M3 shows a CREV error?
    • M
      Michael MitchellSep 6, 2025
      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.
