How to fix SA Instruments Farm Equipment heater blowing cold air?
- U
  ubaileyAug 5, 2025
  If the SA Instruments Farm Equipment heater system is blowing cold air, there are several potential causes. First, verify that the set point is higher than the measured temperature. Second, check that the power to the Heater Module is on—a green LED indicates power, and you should also check the AC connection. Finally, ensure the control signal is present: if the power indication is OK but the Heat LED isn't flashing, check the fiber optic connection to the Heater Module, looking for a red light at the fiber end. Also, check the temperature probe, set point, and connections at the ERT Control/Gating Module, and confirm that 'On/Off with PWM Max Heat' is selected in the HEATER window.

What to do if SA Instruments 1030 gate is not detected by MR scanner?
- E
  Edward BentleyAug 11, 2025
  If the MR scanner isn't detecting the gate from your SA Instruments Farm Equipment, check the gating setup. Look for the presence of trigger output to the scanner, indicated by white dots in the Cardio Sweep display. If the trigger isn't present, review the selections in the Gating Setup menu. Also, check the switch setting on the ERT Control/Gating Module to ensure the gate output pulse signal characteristic is appropriate for the MR scanner; again, look for the trigger output to the scanner (white dots in Cardio Sweep display).

Why is SA Instruments Farm Equipment water bed heater not hot?
- J
  Jason PaulAug 17, 2025
  If your SA Instruments Farm Equipment water bed heater isn't heating, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, check that the control signal is present. Make sure power indication is OK, but the Heat LED is flashing on the WBH Heater Module. Check the set point for the mixed water temperature. If the power indication is OK and the Heat LED is flashing but the Tout isn't changing, the thermal fuse in the heat chamber may be open, in which case you should contact SA Instruments Customer Service.
