automatically aborts cycle.
General Troubleshooting
Additional Information
Acknowledge alarm.
1. Load must be repackaged and reprocessed after
Abort Phase is completed.

7.9 Chamber Temp Deviation — ALM
Condition
In cycle, if RTD3 and RTD4 temperature readings differ by more than 0.5 C (1 F), then cycle aborts. When Unit is out of
cycle, alarm occurs if RTD3 and RTD4 temperature readings differ by more than 5 C (9 F).
General Troubleshooting
