Table 13 - Possible Displayed Error Codes and Actions

To Troubleshoot Sensor
• Remove sensor wires from Terminals 1 and 2.

• For a thermocouple sensor Series 935B, place a jumper wire on Terminals 1 and 2. Control should display the ambient

temperature at the back of the control.

• For an RTD sensor Series 935B, place a 110 +/- 10

Ω resistor on Terminals 1 and 2. The control should read 100Ω = 32°F,

110

Ω = 77°F, 120Ω = 127°F.

• An RTD sensor Series 935B can be configured in software as if it were a

thermocouple unit, and then tested as above.

You can restore factory calibration

, see p. 36-37.

Table 14 - Troubleshoot Control Outputs
When indications such as significant differences between set point and
actual temperatures point to no output action, check output configurations
as described on p. 23. Check wiring, p. 44.
