Monitor Melter Faults
The melter alerts the operator to the faults listed in Table 4‐1.
When a fault occurs, you must diagnose and correct the fault condition and
then place the melter back into operation. You can use the fault log to
determine the type, order, and relative time of the last ten faults.
