4. Replace AC Conditioning board. Check for stability.

Open or Shorted Heater

Symptom: No heat to a specific temperature zone. Actual temperature is ambient, while set point is
at normal setting. The analyzer may indicate out of control or low temperature alarm.
Failure: The temperature controller and sensor input and heater output control board are functioning
normally. An open heater will not supply heat to the temperature zone.
Cause: The heater to the temperature zone is possibly open. Perform Test Procedure 26 (Open or
Shorted Heater).

Blown Fuse, AC Conditioning Board

Symptom: No heat to any temperature zone.
Failure: All temperature zone outputs share a common fuse.
Cause: Open fuse causes power to be removed from zone heaters. The analyzer may indicate an
out of control or low temperature alarm. Perform Test Procedure 27 (Open Fuse to AC Conditioning
Board).
