What to do if the output fuse for a zone fails in my Mold-Masters TempMaster MT Temperature Controller?
If the output fuse fails, it indicates a fault external to the controller. Replace the fuse with one of the same rating and type, specifically a High Rupture Current load fuse. The fuse is located on the control card.
Why is my Mold-Masters TempMaster MT showing a LINE error message?
The absence of mains supply synchronisation pulses can cause a LINE error message. This is commonly due to a missing phase or incorrectly wired plug (swapped phase and neutral). Switch off and isolate the controller, then check the supply wiring to ensure all three phases are present.
What to do if my Mold-Masters TempMaster MT shows a REV alarm?
A REV alarm indicates a shorted or reversed thermocouple. If the REV alarm persists, switch off the controller and investigate the zone in question. You can also slave the affected zone to a working zone temporarily.
Why is there little or no temperature rise in a zone of my Mold-Masters Temperature Controller?
If little or no temperature rise is detected in a zone, check the thermocouple wiring for reversals. Also, inspect the heater wiring for faults or an open circuit in the element.
What to do when Mold-Masters TempMaster MT Temperature Controller detects an open circuit thermocouple?
If an open circuit thermocouple is detected, you can either slave that control zone to an adjacent zone or change to open loop control for immediate recovery.
Why does my Mold-Masters TempMaster MT show earth faults after being idle?
Earth faults can occur if a tool has been idle and moisture has entered a heater. If you can identify the faulty heater, use adjacent heaters to heat it up and dry it out.
