What does Limit Error mean on my Watlow PM PLUS 6 Controller?
If your Watlow Controller displays 'Limit Error', it indicates a sensor issue or calibration problem. To resolve this: * Correct the wiring or replace the sensor if it's improperly wired or open. * Match the setting to the sensor used. * Check the calibration of the controller.
How to fix a Watlow Controller with no display?
To resolve a 'No Display' issue on your Watlow Controller: * Ensure the controller is powered on. * Replace any blown fuses. * Reset tripped breakers. * Confirm the safety interlock switch is closed. * Reset the limit, correct any wiring errors, and apply the correct voltage, verifying the part number.
What to do if my Watlow PM PLUS 6 has no heat or cool action?
To address a 'No heat/cool action' issue on your Watlow Controller: * Ensure the output function is correctly set. * Set the control mode appropriately (Open vs Closed Loop). * Correct the output wiring. * Resolve any faults in the system, such as an open load, power issue, or blown fuse. * 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. * Obtain the correct controller model for your application.
How to reset an alarm on a Watlow PM PLUS 6 Controller that won’t clear?
If your Watlow Controller's alarm won’t clear or reset, try the following: * Reset the alarm when the process is within range, or disable latching. * Set the output to the correct alarm source instance. * Set the alarm source to the correct input instance. * Correct the cause of the sensor input being out of the alarm range. * Set the alarm set point to the correct trip point. * Set the alarm to the correct type: process, deviation, or power. * Set the digital input function and source instance.
What to do if Watlow PM PLUS 6 displays Error Input [1,2]?
If your Watlow Controller displays 'Error Input [1,2]', it indicates that there is no valid signal to the device, or the sensor may be improperly wired or open. To fix this: * Correct the wiring or replace the sensor. * Match the setting to the sensor used. * Check the calibration of the controller.
What does Device Error mean on my Watlow Controller?
If your Watlow Controller displays 'Device Error', it indicates that the controller is defective or the sensor input is over driven. Try the following: * Replace or repair the controller if it is defective. * Check sensors for ground loops, reverse wiring, or out-of-range values.
What to do for Alarm Low [1,2,3,4] on a Watlow PM PLUS 6?
If your Watlow Controller displays 'Alarm Low [1,2,3,4]', it means the temperature is less than the alarm set point. To resolve this: * Check the cause of the under temperature. * Clear any latched alarms. * Establish the correct alarm set point. * Set the alarm source to the proper setting.
