4 Troubleshooting

WARNING

Always disconnect power cord from power supply and Allow furnace
to cool to ambient temperature before servicing instrument.
instrument.

1). There is no display after switching on the instrument, and the indicator of the
electricity power is off: Check if the electricity power wire is in good condition, or the switch

on the backside of the instrument is on and the fuse is damaged or not. Identify the

causes and solve the problem.

2). Continuous alarming after switching on the instrument: Press “Start” key in the initial

stage, if the temperature is more than 1000 ℃, it indicates that the thermocouple is open
circuit, check if the thermocouple and the connection of thermocouple is in good condition.

3).After entering the analysis, the “heat” indicator is on, but the temperature not rises:

Check If the voltage between the third and the forth ends of the solid relay (SSR)

GTJ4-60A is larger than 3.5VDC, if it is larger than 3.5VDC, it indicates the SSR is broken

and replace it.

4). After switching on the instrument, if the instrument is not in the analysis and the “heat”

indicator is off, but the furnace temperature continues to rise: Check the voltage of the two

ends of the heating elements (Be careful with the 220 VAC), if there exists the 220 VAC,

that it means that the solid relay SSR is broken and replace the solid relay.

5). If there is still breakdown not solved, please contact the authorized agent or the

manufacturer.
