PF3100 TROUBLESHOOTING – SOLUTIONS TO COMMON PROBLEMS
Grounded Thermocouple
The system is detecting a grounded thermocouple.
Solution:
The system will not work correctly with a grounded thermocouple. To find which thermocouple is grounded each
thermocouple connector on the temperature module can be unplugged one at a time. Check to see if the alarm
goes away when a specific connector is unplugged. Confirm the thermocouple is grounded by measuring
continuity from it to ground with a multi-meter.
Partially Running Appliance
One or more of the controllers in the appliance is shutdown.
Solution:
This can be normal system operation. One of more controllers may be shutdown on purpose while the remaining
controllers are running. If it is not desired to have some of the units shutdown then the controllers can be
investigated individually.
