    What to do if my Technische Alternative ESR 31 Control Unit malfunctions but shows realistic temperature values?

      Melanie MontgomeryAug 4, 2025
      If your Technische Alternative Control Unit shows a malfunction but displays 'realistic' temperature values, consider the following checks: * Verify the program number. * Examine the switch-on and switch-off thresholds, along with the differential temperatures that were set. * Determine if the thermostat and differential thresholds have been reached. * Check for any settings changes made in the submenus (MEN). * Test if the output can be toggled on and off in manual mode. * Ensure all sensors are connected to the correct terminals. To test the sensors, heat them up using a lighter and monitor the display for changes.

      If your Technische Alternative Control Unit displays incorrect temperature readings, make sure that the correct sensor types (KTY or PT1000) are selected in the menu MEN under SENSOR. You can also check the sensor by replacing the suspected defective sensor on the strip terminal with a working one to see if the display changes.

      If your Technische Alternative Control Unit isn't working despite having supply voltage, check the 3.15A quick-blowing fuse that protects the control system and the output. Replace it if necessary.
