What to do for Limit High Li.h1 on Watlow Controller?
If you are facing a Limit High (Li.h1) error on your Watlow Controller, check the cause of the over temperature.
How to troubleshoot Watlow Controller no heat/cool action?
If your Watlow Controller isn't producing any heat or cool action, check these potential causes: * The output function might be set incorrectly; ensure it's set correctly. * The control mode might be set incorrectly; set it appropriately (Open vs Closed Loop). * The output could be wired incorrectly; correct the output wiring. * The load, power, or fuse might be open; correct the fault in the system. * The control set point might be incorrect; set the control set point in the appropriate control mode and check the source of the set point: remote, idle, profile, closed loop, open loop. * The controller model might be incorrect for the application; obtain the correct controller model for the application.

What does Ambient Error Er.ab mean on Watlow ez-zone pm?
If you encounter an Ambient Error Er.ab on your Watlow Controller, it indicates that the ambient error - cold junction circuitry is not working. Return it to the factory for repair.
Why does my Watlow ez-zone pm have no display?
If your Watlow Controller's display is blank, several factors could be the cause: * The controller might not be receiving power, so ensure it is turned on. * A fuse may have blown, requiring replacement. * The breaker could be tripped, needing a reset. * The safety interlock switch might be open, requiring closure. * A separate system limit control could be activated, requiring a reset. * There may be a wiring issue that needs correction. * The controller might be receiving incorrect voltage, so verify and apply the correct voltage, checking the part number to confirm.
Why is my Watlow Controller temperature running away?
A temperature runaway in your Watlow Controller can stem from several issues: * The controller output may be incorrectly programmed; verify that the output function is correct (heat or cool). * The thermocouple might be reverse wired; correct the sensor wiring, ensuring the red wire is negative. * The controller output might be wired incorrectly; verify and correct the wiring. * There could be a short in the heater; replace the heater. * The power controller connection to the controller may be defective; replace or repair the power controller. * The controller output might be defective; replace or repair the controller.
