OPEN CIRCUIT BREAKER

A Cell is indicating an under temperature condition where the temperature rises but does not reach

set point. The cause may be an open circuit breaker or conductor in the heater power circuit.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

When a circuit breaker opens, power is not supplied to the heater. The Cell temperature rise is probably thermal drift from

nearby cells caused by the Cell Fan motor recirculating air in the tunnel between the Top and Bottom Cells in the zone.

Check the Operating Screen for a heater receiving power at a high percentage rate. The opposite heater in the same

Zone probably is receiving extra power to compensate for the nonfunctioning heater. The nonfunctioning heater should

indicate almost 100% power and the opposite heater in the same Zone should indicate about 50% power (normal is 10%

to 30%).

Circuit breakers are identified as F1-B, F1-T to F12-B, F12-T. (-B = bottom, -T = top)

Reset the circuit breaker. Then, if:

1) The circuit breaker trips again, very likely there is a short to ground in the heater

conductors or the heater.

2) The circuit breaker does not trip again, but Cell temperature does not return to normal. Very likely there is

an “open” in the heater circuit or heater.

3) The circuit breaker does not trip, and Cell temperature returns to normal. Should the Circuit Breaker trip

again later, it might indicate an intermittent problem with the Circuit Breaker or the heater circuit.

CONTROLLER FAILURE

SYMPTOM # 1

A Cell indicates an over temperature condition with the temperature rapidly rising past set point. The failure of a single

output on the controller is a possibility.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

If a single output on the controller fails with a short to ground, the heater will receive full power continuously. During

normal operation, the SSR receives a ground signal from the controller output, and it turns on the AC power to the heater.

Therefore, when the output shorts to ground, the heater is “ON” all of the time. If this condition occurs, the controller may

or may not be aware of the fault condition, but, could not do anything about it because the failed output was the only way

for the controller to control the heater. These symptoms indicate the need to replace a faulty controller.

HINT: To help isolate this problem, disable the suspect heater in the software and then watch the SSR board LED for

that heater. If the LED is on after the heater has been disabled, then the controller output may be faulty.

SYMPTOM # 2

A Cell indicates an under temperature problem in which the cell appears to stay cold.

This condition can be caused by a controller failure.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

This condition will only occur when starting the oven from a cold state. When/if a single output of the controller fails, it is

most likely to fail “open”. If this happens, the SSR (and its heater) will never be turned “ON”. The SSR requires a ground

signal to turn “ON” to supply AC power to the heater. Should there be a general controller failure, all outputs (and SSRs)

should be “OFF” and all the heaters should be cold. These symptoms indicate the need to replace a faulty controller.

HINT: To help isolate this problem, enable the suspect heater in the software and then watch the SSR board LED for that

heater. If the LED is never on after the heater has been enabled, then the controller may be faulty.

SYMPTOM # 3

A Cell indicates an under temperature condition where the temperature falls from set point.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

This condition can be a result of 1) a controller failure, 2) or loose SSR screws, 3) loose power wires to heater.

HINT: To help isolate this problem, enable the suspect heater in the software and then watch the SSR board LED for that

heater. If the LED is never on after the heater has been enabled, then the controller output is faulty.

NOTE: If the oven is operating and up to temperature, it may take some time for the cell to cool down enough to verify

the state of the output, SSR, and heater.

FAILED CONTROL SSR

SYMPTOM # 1

A Cell indicates an under temperature condition where the temperature rises but does not reach set point.

The Cell may not be heating because the control SSR has failed or is failing.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

When an SSR fails open, power is not supplied to the heater. The Cell temperature rise is probably thermal drift from

nearby cells caused by the Cell Fan motor recirculating air in the tunnel between the Top and Bottom Cells in the zone.

Check the Operating Screen for a heater receiving power at a high percentage rate. The opposite heater in the same

Zone probably is receiving extra power to compensate for the nonfunctioning heater.

If the control SSR fails to operate for ANY reason, the default is to not conduct.

If the SSR fails internally, it could fail in the open state it will not conduct AC power to the heater. Replace the faulty SSR.

When replacing an SSR, use adequate amounts of heat sink compound on the back of the new SSR when mounting it to

the electrical panel.

SYMPTOM # 2

A Cell indicates random high temperatures. The Cell can no longer hold set point because the control SSR has failed or is

failing. This condition may occur during normal operation.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

An over-heated SSR can fail in the “ON” (conducting) condition after receiving an “ON” signal from the controller output.

The failed SSR will have to be replaced. Use adequate amounts of heat sink compound on the back of the new SSR

when mounting it to the electrical panel.

SYMPTOM # 3

A Cell indicates random low temperatures. The Cell can no longer hold set point because the control SSR has failed or is

failing. This condition may occur during normal operation.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

The SSR may be over-heated. Replace the SSR with adequate heat sink compound on the replacement SSR when

mounting it.
