Temperature and Humidity Cabinet & Low Temperature Cabinet(LC-113,123,223/LG-113,123):FAQ

Trouble
Cause
Remedial action

AL00
CH00

The room temperature compensation input to the temperature controller was disconnected. The oven has been stopped. The sensor is loosely connected to the RTD terminal on the ES102C temperature controller board or there is an open circuit on the ES102C board. Turn control power OFF from the POWER key and resume testing. If the same alarm occurs again, call for service.
AL00
CH01
The dry-bulb input to the temperature controller was disconnected. The oven has been stopped. The sensor is loosely connected to the CH1 terminal on the ES102C temperature controller board or there is an open circuit in the connected thermocouple. Turn control power OFF from the POWER key and resume testing. If the same alarm occurs again, call for service.
AL01
The temperature inside the oven has risen above the upper deviation limit. The heater has been stopped until temperature returns within range. Either specimens inside the oven are generating heat or the upper deviation limit is set too low. Remove the heat-generating specimens and/or set the upper deviation limit about 10°C higher than the target temperature. When temperature returns within range, normal control is restored automatically. The alarm can be cleared by pressing the or key.
AL02
The temperature inside the oven has risen above the absolute high limit. The oven has been stopped. Either specimens inside the oven are generating heat or the absolute high limit is set too low. Turn control power OFF from the POWER key. Then, remove the heat-generating specimens and/or set the absolute high limit about 15°C higher than the target temperature. Then, resume testing. If the same alarm occurs again, call for service.
AL03
The temperature inside the oven has dropped below the absolute low limit. The oven has been stopped. The absolute low limit is set too high. Turn control power OFF from the POWER key. Correct the absolute low limit setting. Then, resume testing. If the same alarm occurs again, call for service.
AL06
The temperature inside the oven has risen above the overheat protector setting (instrumentation panel). The oven has been stopped. Either specimens inside the oven are generating heat or the overheat protector is set too low. Turn control power OFF from the POWER key. Remove the heat-generating specimens and/or correct the overheat protector setting. Resume testing. If the same alarm occurs again, it is possible that the thermal fuse has blown. Call for service.
AL07
(Not applicable for LG)
The built-in temperature switch of the air circulator motor (electrical parts compartment) tripped because the motor was abnormally hot. The oven has been stopped. The air circulator motor is overloaded. Leave the oven OFF until the air circulator cools down. Then, turn control power ON from the POWER key and resume testing.
AL99
The instrumentation detected communication trouble between the CPU board and display board. The oven has been stopped. Communication error between the CPU board and display board Reactivate the system from the main power switch (leakage breaker) and resume testing. If the same alarm occurs again, call for service.
The instrumentation detected system trouble in the display board. The oven has been stopped. Display board error (i.e.: internal memory, etc.) Reactivate the system from the main power switch (leakage breaker) and resume testing. If the same alarm occurs again, call for service.
The instrumentation panel does not light up after pressing the POWER key. Primary power supply is OFF. Activate the primary power supply.
The main power switch (leakage breaker) is in the OFF position. Set the switch in the ON position.
Power supply phase is not correctly wired. Properly connect phases. See "3.2 Power Supply Work".
The display goes out all of sudden or the displayed information is strange. System trouble or internal board trouble Switch the main power switch OFF and ON. If the same trouble reoccurs, call for service.
The door is hard to close. Something is caught in the door. Remove the obstruction.
Internal pressure is high because the oven is hot on the inside. There is nothing wrong with the equipment. Proceed as planned.
The door is hard to open. Internal pressure is lower than room pressure. There is nothing wrong with the equipment. Proceed as planned.
Strange odors are detected. Lingering odors inside the oven Clean the test area. See "6.1 Check and Maintenance Lists".
Specimens are generated odors. Remove the source of the odor.
The viewing window is fogged up. Test area humidity rose as high temperatures evaporated moisture. There is nothing wrong with the equipment. Proceed as planned.
Temperature is unstable. The door is open. Shut the door.
The cable port is not covered. Reattach cap or plug (option).
The exhaust port (oven top) is open. Close the port.
Settings cannot be changed. The keys are locked. Unlock the keys. See "5.2 User Setup and Safety Device Options Setup".
Temperature heat-up rate does not satisfy specifications. The door is open. Shut the door.
Specimen heat load is high. Reduce the amount of specimens.
Ambient temperature too low. Raise ambient temperature.
Poor temperature uniformity Air flow inside the oven is poor. Rearrange specimens so as not block air flow.
Specimens are generating heat. Reduce the amount of specimens.
Outside air has infiltrated the system through door packing or the cable port. Prevent air penetration.
