    Why control is not performing on Shinko FCR-13A?
    • V
      Vanessa SmithSep 23, 2025
      If control is not performing on your Shinko Controller and only the PV display is indicated, press the key to perform Program control. Alternatively, to perform Fixed value control, select the Fixed value control mode by pressing the key while holding down the key for approximately 3 seconds.

    Why is the PV not rising on my Shinko FCR-13A?
    • J
      justinstanleyAug 23, 2025
      If the PV on your Shinko Controller isn't rising, one potential cause is a burnt-out thermocouple or RTD. Try replacing the sensor. Also, check that the sensor or control output terminals are securely mounted and correctly wired to the instrument terminals.

    Why is the PV display indication irregular or unstable on my Shinko Controller?
    • A
      Ashley UnderwoodAug 25, 2025
      If the PV display indication on your Shinko Controller is irregular or unstable, ensure that a suitable sensor input has been selected using the Rotary switch (SW303) and DIP switch (SW304). Also, verify that the temperature unit is correct using the DIP switch (SW304), the sensor correction value is appropriate, the thermocouple or RTD specification is correct, there is no AC leakage into the thermocouple or RTD circuit (use an ungrounded sensor), and that there is no interfering equipment near the controller.

    What causes the PV display to flash on a Shinko FCR-13A Controller?
    • M
      Makayla ParkerAug 27, 2025
      If the PV display on your Shinko Controller is flashing, ensure that the polarity of the thermocouple or compensating lead wire is correct. Also, check whether the RTD codes (A, B, B) match the instrument terminals.

    What to do if control is not performing on my Shinko FCR-13A?
    • R
      rgibbsAug 28, 2025
      If control is not performing on your Shinko Controller and only the PV display is indicated, the Control output OFF function might be active. Press the key to cancel this function. Alternatively, Program mode might be selected. To start Program control, press the key. For Fixed value control, press the key for approximately 3 seconds while holding down the key.

    Why the setting indication does not change within the rated scale range on Shinko FCR-13A Controller?
    • K
      kellyshieldsSep 15, 2025
      If the setting indication does not change within the rated scale range on your Shinko Controller, even when pressing the or key, it may be due to the SV high limit or SV low limit being set at a point where the value cannot change. Reset it to a suitable value again while in Auxiliary function setting mode 1.

    Why is the indication of PV display abnormal or unstable on my Shinko FCR-13A Controller?
    • C
      caitlynbullockSep 6, 2025
      An unstable or abnormal PV display indication on your Shinko Controller can occur if the sensor input selection is improper. Ensure the Sensor input is correctly set using the Rotary switch (SW303) and the DIP switch (SW304). Also, check that the temperature unit is properly set with the DIP switch. AC may be leaking into the thermocouple or RTD circuit, or there might be interfering equipment nearby. Keep such equipment away from the controller.

    Why is OUT1 or OUT2 remaining in an ON status on my Shinko FCR-13A Controller?
    • R
      Ronald CookeSep 4, 2025
      If OUT1 or OUT2 remains in an ON status on your Shinko Controller, the OUT1 low limit value or OUT2 low limit value might be set to 100% or higher in Auxiliary function setting mode 2. Set it to a suitable value.
