XII. Troubleshooting Steps NOTE: The symbol “ ” prefixing the measured value denotes “approximate”. Most measurements will not be completely accurate with the values represented in this manual, but the SCA will function normally. Usually, measurements that are extremely different from the indicated measurements will represent a possible failure in the component.
Page 28
c. If the pump appears to not be working at all, disconnect power from the SCA and remove Back Panel (See Removing the Back Panel Section III B). d. Visually inspect the start capacitor for any damage. A defective capacitor can leak electrolyte which can be visibly apparent.

b. Ohm out the pump between the wires on pins 1 & 3 on the cable connector. i. Should see ~31 c. Ohm out the pump between the wires on pins 2 & 4 on the cable connector. i. Should see ~65 d.
Page 30
Test the Pump Motor Start Capacitor a. The 4 µF (micro Farad) start capacitor gives the pump an extra punch to get the pump rotating correctly and in the right direction, as well as supplies half the voltage to keep the pump rotating at the proper speed.
Page 31
d. If a capacitance option is not available on the multimeter, the resistance can be tested. i. Short the leads of the start cap initially (See Figure 26). ii. After shorting the capacitor leads, measure between both wires at the highest resistance setting of the multimeter.
Page 32
Check the Motor Enable Signal a. Remove the top cover (See Removing the Top Cover Section III A) and check the signal from the Display Controller on the Connector board to the PCB. b. Press the start button on the control panel to enable the pump motor and measure the voltage across pin 2 (GND) and pin 4 (Motor Control Signal) on the connector J2 solder joints (See Figure 28).
B. Heating Element Troubleshooting Tools Needed: Multimeter Phillips Screwdriver Symptom Not Heating Theory: The heating element has an internal resistance that creates heat when current flows through. When submerged in water, the heat is transferred to the water. Steps: Heater Element Resistance Test a.
Page 34
NOTE: There are 2 heating elements on the SCA 1200ht. One heating element is dedicated to 110VAC only, the other is dedicated to 220/230VAC. Only one element is used and only one element will have voltage depending on the input voltage. They are not interchangeable.
C. Thermal Cutoff Switch (TCO) Troubleshooting Tools Needed: Multimeter Phillips Screwdriver Symptom Not Heating Theory: The Thermal Cutoff switch found on the back wall of the tank by the main power switch disables the heater element if the temperature of the bath exceeds 90ºC. To reset the switch, allow the temperature of the bath to drop below 80ºC and press the red reset button between the wire terminals.
D. Temperature Sensor Troubleshooting Tools Needed: Multimeter Philips Screwdriver Symptom Not heating at all or inconsistently, Theory: The temperature sensor changes resistance according to the temperature of the water. As the temperature increases, the resistance of the sensor decreases. Steps: Ohm out the Temperature Sensor a.
E. Water Level Sensor Troubleshooting Tools Needed: Multimeter Philips Screwdriver Symptom SCA beeping, high or low water LED flashing on control panel. Theory: The float sensor uses two internal switches within a hollow rod straddled by a watertight stainless-steel float that slides along the rod as the water level changes (See Figure 33). If the water level is at the minimum or maximum level, the magnetic property of the float closes an internal switch, which generates an error.
F. No Power to SCA Troubleshooting Tools Needed: Multimeter Phillips Screwdriver Symptom SCA Appears to have no power, there are no audible clicks when toggling the power switch, the LED on the PCB is not lit. Theory: The SCA requires 110VAC (US) or 230VAC (Europe) +/- 10%. The SCA chooses the right configuration automatically according to the input power via an evaluation relay.

2. Power switch is off - infinite Figure 34 - Power Entry Module (PEM) Check the Continuity of F2 a. Ohm out fuse F2 (2A 250V). i.Replace the fuse if it is open. b. If the fuse blows again, remove power from the SCA and remove the pump and transformer connectors from the PCB.
G. No Power to Display Troubleshooting Tools Needed: Multimeter Phillips Screwdriver Symptom SCA display appears to have no power. Upon plugging in to power and pressing the power switch, there are audible clicking sounds and the LED is lit on the PCB. Theory: The display requires ~12 VDC from the PCB to operate.

Measure the Display Voltage a. Remove the top cover (See Removing Top Cover and Back Panel Section III A). b. Measure the voltage between pin 2 (GND) and pin 10 (12V DC) on the Connector board J2 solder joints. There should be between 9V and 15V DC (usually around 12 or 13 V DC) (See Figure 36).
